Topics for my Class
[edit]Thanks for everyone! I have done the peer review of my ideas, and I decided to adopt my top choice! Below lists some ideas that I am considering about. Take a look!
Final Research Topic:Yue opera (Zhejiang) and Yueju
Yueju (also known as Yue opera Zhejiang) is one of the five prestigious opera in China.
Yueju has over 100 years of history, and it has huge ethinitic and cultural impact on ethics and culture on Chinese society. As Yue opera is only performed by women, its presenting style and music art is highly distinguishable and unique. And Yueju has been listed as the first wave of Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Thousands of literature are produced to deliberate this art. However, the Yueju entry on Wikipedia only has up to 356 words in description. And the pictures posted at front is not formal and representative of the spirit of Yueju. I would love to contribute to this article, and bring whatever I can to help the world understand the true culture of Chinese opera, Yueju.
This Wiki-page is my final choice! I discussed this page with my classmates. Since it's a stab article, Yueju still has a lot to improve and add on. Besides that, there are a large amount of English sources that I can look into.
Research Source
[edit]As I have indicated above, the Yueju entry only has a limited introduction about its history, and a brief list of its notable actors. Going off with that, I'll extend this entry in four aspect that has firm supports from scholarly resources: the background of Yueju's generation and evolution, the current innovation and status of Yueju, as well as the sociological impact and the reasons behind from Yueju's generation.
1. Women playing men : Yue opera and social change in twentieth-century Shanghai (Seattle : University of Washington Press, ©2009).
This book gives us a general introduction on the history, evolution and forms. This can gives us a basic picture of Yueju.
2. Fusions: Western Influence Upon Traditional Chinese Theater (Publisher: Pomona College, Year 2002).
This journal describe the impact western theaters have on Chinese operas. Within my knowledge, I know that lots of Yueju Troupe are enduring reform in terms of combining the social media effects, and combining Western performing elements. As the big trend of Chinese opera not to mention Yueju, the impact of western theater shall definitely be up on the Wikipedia page.
3. Dubious prosperity: Women and entertainment in wartime Shanghai [Frontiers of History in China : Selected Publications from Chinese Universities, v4 n1 (200903): 124-148].
This journal gives us a more specific viewpoint on the impact that Yueju has on society when it was generated. As the only female-performed opera in conservative China, Yueju definitely has fascinating history in terms of its evolution and sociological impact. And our Wikipedia page is definitely going to explore that topic.
Besides these three topics that I am going to expand, I also want to include some famous Yueju piece that has turning point impact on Chinese opera history. However this job seems to be more complex than I thought. But I will keep my eye on it when collecting all this research analysis.
Thanks a lot for your reading! Feel free to leave comments. :)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Yue opera (Zhejiang), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Yue Opera, 正月 and 江南. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
