陈雅新:《外销画中的十三行街道戏曲商铺考》,《中华戏曲》第59辑,2019年第2期。

【内容摘要】外销画所绘在十三行商馆区街道上琳琅满目的商铺中,有着不少戏曲相关商铺,包括戏服铺、戏筵铺、搭戏棚铺、鼓乐与童子八音铺、乐器铺等,兼具着商铺和作坊的双重功能。其中,不同的戏服铺在不同戏箱行头的经营上有所侧重,精美的顾绣被施用于戏衣,反映了当时广州戏剧在舞美上的精致化追求,可能是行商财力充沛、对戏剧要求高所带来的结果。戏筵铺则证明了嘉道年间酒馆演戏的存在。戏服铺兼营纸扎、神袍、幢幡,鼓乐铺可为会景即游神、酬神活动服务,搭棚铺标明为打醮建戏棚、戏台,都反映了当时祭祀性戏剧的盛行。这些,为我们了解当时戏剧整体生态与运营模式提供了新信息。十三行街上的商铺为外国人最容易购买物品的地方,因此,这种发达的戏曲商业对于戏曲文化的对外传播有所影响。

 

The Study of Opera-related Shops in the Thirteen Factories Street in Export Paintings

Chen Yaxin

Abstract: Among the diverse array of shops depicted in the bustling streets of the Thirteen Factories district in export paintings, there are numerous shops related to opera, including costume shops, banquet shops, temporary stage construction shops, drum and music shops, and musical instrument shops, which serve as both stores and workshops. Different costume shops focus on the management of different opera costume styles, with exquisite embroidery techniques applied to the garments, reflecting the pursuit of artistic refinement in Guangzhou’s theater productions at that time, possibly as a result of prosperous merchants with high demands for theater aesthetics. The presence of banquet shops also indicates the existence of tavern performances during the Jiaqing era. Costume shops also engage in the production of paper sculptures, divine robes, and banners, while drum and music shops cater to ritual activities such as deity processions and offerings. The temporary stage construction shops are specifically designated for the construction of ritual pavilions and stages, reflecting the prevalence of ceremonial theater during that period. These findings provide new insights into the overall ecology and operational models of theater during that time. The shops along the Thirteen Factories Street were the most accessible places for foreigners to purchase goods, thus the flourishing opera business in this area had an impact on the dissemination of opera culture to foreign audiences.
