Yue Li

Abstract

When western tragedy and its theory were introduced into China, China's community of theatre and some important thinkers gave them attention. Now modern complex is formed. Although contents of tragic complex are different, there are common appeals in form, namely, tragic spirit, facing life, displaying existence and transcendence over phenomena that are canonized. They are concerned with tragic writings, artistic production, individual catharsis and national spirit. Tragic complex has real significance even today.
