3月初的北京与东京,都是乍暖还寒的早春,但东京似乎比北京略微温暖些。应日本国际交流基金会的邀请,2017年初春,笔者有幸踏上了一次时间不长却颇有意义的日本歌舞伎之旅。中国、日本是一衣带水的邻邦,两国的传统文化各具特色又深有渊源。中国古典戏曲是笔者的研究方向之一,但对于日本传统戏剧——歌舞伎,此前却从未有如此亲密的接触。因此,这次歌舞伎之旅,对一个研究中国戏曲的学者而言,确有特殊意义,是极好的品赏、比 Beijing and Tokyo in early March are both early spring and early winter, but Tokyo seems slightly warmer than Beijing. At the invitation of Japan Foundation for International Exchange, in the spring of 2017, I had the privilege of embarking on a rather long but meaningful journey to Japanese kabuki. China and Japan are neighbors of the water belt and the traditional cultures of the two countries have their own characteristics and deep roots. Chinese classical drama is one of the author’s research directions, but for Japanese traditional drama - kabuki, but never so close contact. Therefore, this trip to Kabuki does have a special meaning to a scholar studying Chinese drama, and is an excellent reward.
