《赵氏孤儿》是中国戏曲史上与《窦娥冤》齐名的悲剧代表作,但是在戏曲史类作品中,作为悲剧代表作,很少列专题介绍。究其原因,应该是由于两种版本的差异造成的。《赵氏孤儿》有《元刊杂剧三十种》本和明人编刊的《元曲选》、《古今名剧合选》本两种版本。两种版本在曲词、思想风格、冲突性质和结局处理上均有很大的不同,而这些不同正造成了两种版本悲剧性的差异。关于悲剧的概念,长久以来一直引用西方的观点,而很少考虑中国戏曲的独特性。在此,引用借鉴赵孟毅东方悲剧“余韵美”的观点,肯定明刊本的悲剧性,最终认定,《赵氏孤儿》元明两刊本均具有强烈的悲剧色彩,“既列之于世界大悲剧中,亦无愧色也。” “Orphan of Zhao” is a famous representative of tragedy in the history of Chinese opera with “Dou’e injustice.” However, as a tragedy masterpiece, there are few special presentations in the history of opera. The reason, it should be due to the difference between the two versions. “Orphan of Zhao” There are thirty kinds of “Zaju Zaju” and two versions of “Yuanqu” selected by Benhe Ming and anthologies of ancient and modern famous play. The two versions are quite different in terms of the lyrics, the style of thought, the nature of the conflict, and the outcome, and these differences are at the moment causing a tragic difference between the two versions. The concept of tragedy has long been quoted from the Western perspective, with little regard for the uniqueness of Chinese opera. Here, the reference to Zhao Meng-yi’s Eastern Tragedy “Yu Yun Mei ” point of view, affirming the original tragedy, and ultimately that the “Zhao orphan” Yuan and Ming Dynasties two editions have a strong tragedy, “both listed in the world In the great tragedy, there is no shame also. ”
