The re-creation of lyrics requires readers, actors, and spectators to imagine literary operas as live performances .When readers (actors or spectators) read thequof Traditional Chinese Operas, they add their own imagination: spoken parts, lyrics, and movements to the opera. Some writings in The Book of Songs and Songs of Chu, the ancient rhythmic verses, in theatical style, often contained dramatic elements, and some readers would perform them in certain forms of opera such as singing and dancing with their own re-creation. Therefore, reading Qu will not only develop our appreciation and cognition for the ancient rhythmic verses, but also reveal the changes in the concept of theatre, which gives us a more open-minded and comprehensive understanding of the question:「what is theatre?」
