Peony Pavilion Dice Manual 牡丹亭骰谱

As the ancestor of all Chinese operas, Kunqu Opera is often performed in a familiar way. Clients hope to show different understandings of Kunqu opera culture in different ways. Most of the texts introducing Kunqu opera only focus on the stage performance, and we try to find out more about its connection with the society at that time. Therefore, the lost The Peony Pavilion Dice Manual was found in a large amount of documents. It is a dice game based on the Kunqu opera aria - peony pavilion. The authors are Xiaoqing and Susu, who are Xu Zhen’s wives(a novelist in the Qing Dynasty).From this lost book, it can be seen that the ancient elite regarded Kunqu Opera as a symbol of elegance.Modern life are colorful, and traditional arts have gradually moved away from the public. Peripheral games such as dice have lost players naturally.

此谱的作者是清代小说家徐震的两个妾小青、素素，把《牡丹亭》的唱词与骰子的点数相结合，设计出娱乐的谱式。从这本失传的昆曲骰谱中可以看出古代的精英阶层视昆曲为高雅的象征，以至于处处需与它相关，连游戏也不例外。时过境迁，现代的娱乐方式丰富多彩，戏曲等传统艺术因为各种原因渐渐远离了大众，像骰谱这样的周边游戏自然也失去了玩家。 介绍昆曲的文本大多只关注舞台表演的部分，我们试图发现更多它与当时的社会之间的联系。于是，在大量的资料中发现了失传的牡丹亭骰谱，它是根据昆曲唱段-牡丹亭为蓝本，建立起来的一个骰子游戏，通过掷骰子的数字对应唱词来对对子。
