The story of the Yang family generals, particularly its female generals, was a perennial favorite on the Chinese stage in the 19th and 20th centuries. In detailing the role of this military family in the Song-Khitan wars of the mid-12th century, these four plays are all in the form of zaju, a type of play that originated in the 13th century. These plays are from the 15th and 16th centuries and allow a glimpse into earlier renditions of the Yang family saga, which is a decidedly more male-centered tradition than that performed in the Qing dynasty. This volume offers the only complete English-language translation of these early plays. These plays allow access to the earliest phase in the development of the Yang family saga. The plays provide information on the staging of large battle scenes on the stage and have considerable literary and cultural value. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 14 Yang family. 600 30 Yang family|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85148987|vDrama.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001612 600 37 Yang family.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/217889 648 7 960 - 1279|2fast 650 0 Chinese drama|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85024261|xTranslations into English.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh99002029 650 7 Chinese drama.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/857335 651 0 China|xHistory|ySong dynasty, 960-1279|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh85024066|vDrama.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001612 651 0 China|xHistory|yXi Xia dynasty, 1038-1227|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85024069|vDrama.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001612 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Drama.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423879 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Translations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423791 655 7 Drama.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/ gf2014026297 700 1 Idema, W.
