Eilleen Chang's ”The Golden Cangue” is regarded as the greatest novella in Chinese history in C.T. Hsia's ”A History of Modern Chinese Fiction”.
The National Guo Guang Opera Company has adapted ”The Golden Cangue” to a Modern Chinese opera. One of the selection reasons is that the role is designed for the leading actress Wei Hai-Min. The other reason is to complete the experiment on the modernization of Chinese opera with Chang's classical writing accomplishment and the description of modern affections in her works.
By analyzing the text/stage space of ”The Golden Cangue”, this thesis aims to explore the implication of ”Jiang's Mansion”. Does it represent power, desire, or degradation of humanity? Additionally, this thesis also attempts to discuss how the director converted a novel text into stage space and how the playwright made stream of consciousness concrete.
At last, from the perspective of changing from the novella from to the stage space, this thesis tries to treat the difference between ”The Golden Cangue” and traditional Jingju opera regarding stage effect and audience psychology. And it attempts to answer the question: Has Jingju opera been modernized?
