| dc.description.abstract | The article is entitled “The Comparative Research on Li Yu’s Novels and Plays of Similar Types”. I do the research on the four of Li’s novels which were adapted for the plays. Though my analysis of the literary works, I hope to learn why he adapted the four from all his novels. It is common that novels and plays are adapted. I wonder whether the novels Li adapted for the plays were based on the dramatic theory of his work “Xian Qing Ou Ji”. If not, what were the influences?
The above-mentioned statement is the topic of my research. I will review and organize the precedent researches in Chapter One. In the subsequent chapters, I will also discuss the four novels, “Chou Lang Jun Pa Jiao Pian De Yan”, “Gua Fu She Zhui Xin Lang Zhong Mei Qi Xin Duo Cai Z”, “Tan Chu Yu Xi Li Chuan Qing Liu Miao Gu Qu Zhong S Jie”, and“Sheng Wo Lou” in the books “Wu Sheng Xi” and “Sh Er Lou”. Simultaneously, I will explore the four plays “Nai He Tian”, “Feng Qiu Huang”, “Bi Mu Yu”, and “Qiao Tuan Yuan” in the book, “Li Weng Chuan Qi Sh Zhong”. I focus on the characters and the differences of the quantity in the plots as well. I’m going to survey the theory of Li’s own in my conclusion. That way, I can generalize Li’s consideration for his adaptions.
I will sum up the real reasons and focus of Li’s adaptions and establish my inferences in the last chapter. | en_US |
