Popis: “Cangliang” 蒼凉 (desolate) is how many Kunqu 崑曲 connoisseurs would characterize Tanci 彈詞 (The ballad), scene 38 of Hong Sheng’s 洪昇 (1645–1704) Changsheng dian 長生殿 (The palace of lasting life; henceforth CSD), one of the last masterpieces (jiezuo 杰作; jingdian 經典) of chuanqi 傳奇 drama. Since 1688, the year CSD was completed, Tanci was and still is regularly performed by both amateur and professional performers as vocal music (qingchang 清唱) or as an independent scene-play (zhezixi 折子戲). Historical performances of Tanci and other CSD scene-plays mark critical developments in the history of Kunqu in Qing (1644–1911) and Republican China (1911–1949), as well as more recent decades.
