The Taiwan Provincial Government Period (October 1945 to April 1947) was a short "rebirth period" following Japan's colonization, and a key period for the Chinese government to establish political and economic governance and make cultural and lingustic adjustments. This short period of one and a half years witnessed significant development of Taiwan's drama history and its influence was great. The making and execution of related policies and laws, the choice of dramatic language, the implantation of Chinese spoken drama, the continuation and disruption of the tradition of Taiwan's new drama, and the exchange and interaction among performers within Taiwan and between Taiwan and China truly happened in this early transitional period and had critical influence on the development of Taiwan's drama. This study centers on the development of Taiwan's spoken (new) drama during the Taiwan Provincial Government Period, starting with a survey of the development of Taiwan's traditional operas and new drama and the performances of Chinese spoken drama in Taiwan. Next, it probes into theater management and the inception, change and implementation of script censoring, in comparison with the script censor system used in the rear area during the Sino-Japan War, so as to investigate the latter's extension into the content and spirit of the former. Moreover, the study observes the development of the tradition of Taiwan's new drama, which features cultural critique, and analyzes its relationship with and counterforce against the new regulations, and the reasons for its eventual disappearance. Last, this study discusses the development of Chinese spoken drama in Taiwan, and evaluates its actual influence under the guise of "superior" art, culture and language, and the interaction of theatre professionals from Taiwan and China. This study on the drama history in such a short period of time helps us comprehend the inheritance/extension, adaptation/implementation, blending/resistance, and transplantation/internalization of Taiwan's drama during this special historical period.
