内容简介

The enchantment of the figure of the "male dan"--female impersonator--remains a residual element in the cultural imagination of many contemporary Chinese societies. To discuss "mistaken identity" and gender issues that relate to cross-dressing on the Chinese operatic stage, this book examines traditional dramatic texts, modern literary writings, critical writings, opera paintings, and contemporary movies.
