2、ot the only great master of play writing to die in 1616,and he is certainly not the only writer to haveleft a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide,Tang Xianzu is considered one of Chinas greatest playwrights and is highlyspoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic t

3、raditions.Tang was born in 1550 inLinchuan,Jiangxiprovince.Unlike Shakespeares large body of plays,poems andsonnets(十四行诗),Tang wrote only four major plays:The Purple Hairpin,Peony Pavilion(牡丹亭),A Dreamunder the Southern bough,and Dream of Handan.The latter three were constructed around a dream narra
