“中国趣味”与北美地区中国古典戏曲研究
北美地区学者大都尊重与珍视作为一种历史存在与现实存在的中国古典戏曲，力求揭示其自身蕴含的文化价值与审美价值。北美地区学者把主体的这种“中国趣味”投注到中国古典戏曲研究之中，使他们的学术成果洋溢着对中国传统文化的挚爱和热情。
在文献整理、历史研究和理论阐释三方面，1998年以来北美地区中国古典戏曲研究都取得令人瞩目的丰硕成果，从一个侧面映照出北美地区汉学界的学术智慧和学术追求。
1998年以来北美地区学者的“中国趣味”，首先充分体现在孜孜不倦地大量翻译与介绍中国古典戏曲文献，包括戏曲作家、戏曲作品、戏曲批评、戏曲演出、戏曲文物等。其次体现在对中国古典戏曲的文本形态和表演形态的实证研究，再次还体现在运用“世界”的视野和比较的眼光，对中国古典戏曲进行跨学科的研究，提出许多极有价值的学术命题，引导中国古典戏曲研究进入世界学术前沿。北美地区学者的这种“中国趣味”已经融入世界性的学术交流与文化交流之中，成为全球化时代极其珍贵的文化精神。

‘Chinese Taste’ and Research on Chinese Traditional Opera in North America
In my opinion, the academic innovation of human sciences research can be valued in three aspects: a detailed and meticulous arrangement of the documents and materials, a comprehensive and thorough research on history, and an innovation and breakthrough in theoretical explanation. After reading the works on classical Chinese drama in North America from 1998 to 2008, I tried to make a brief review on the aspects mentioned above, in order to examine the value and the trend of Chinese Studies in North America in the twenty-first century.
The research on classical Chinese drama in North America since 1998 has gained brilliant achievements in the arrangement of documents and materials, the study on history, and the theoretical interpretation. On the whole it expresses the following characteristics.
First, the English sources of classical Chinese drama have been continuously increasing since 1998. Second, in the research on classical Chinese drama since 1998, most of the scholars in North America have persisted in the spirit of empirical study and abided by the study principle of seeking truth from facts. Third, since 1998, the scholars in North America have studied the classical Chinese drama with an inter-disciplinary perspective and provided a great deal of valuable academic topics due to this global perspective and the comparative vision. Fourth, most of the scholars have approached classical Chinese drama with a special theoretical framework since 1998.
