A

After 400 years, William Shakespeare (15641616) is still widely celebrated as a great crafter of language and playwright (剧作家)But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting impact on theatre.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is rightly considered China's greatest playwright and is highly admired in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.

Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi Province, and worked as a government official until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing.Unlike Shakespeare's large body of plays and poems, Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin, A Dream under a Southern Bough, Dream of Handan and The Peony Pavilion — widely considered to be his masterpiece.In the latter three, much of the story is told through dream sequences.Tang used these scenes to explore human emotions in ways that challenged the feudal system of his time.It is a similar dream structure that we find in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Tang lived towards the end of the Ming Dynasty (13681644) and, similarly to Shakespeare, his lasting success was partly due to the growth of theatre as an artistic practice during his lifetime.As in Shakespeare's England, it became hugely popular in China, with public theatres opening in different cities and traveling performance groups becoming common.Theatrical audiences started to populate open public spaces, and theatre as a popular form of entertainment found its place outside palaces.However, unlike in Shakespeare's England, there was hardly any mixing of the rich with commoners at theatrical events.

During this time, the way in which play­texts were enjoyed, spread and performed also changed.Initially, Chinese dramas had an emphasis on poetic language and were distributed in book form, to be read like novels.They were seldom, if ever, performed.However, from the mid­16th century, Kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China to become a symbol of Chinese culture.

While Tang and Shakespeare lived a world away from each other, they share in common the humanity of their drama, their heroic figures, their love for language, a lasting popularity — and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.
