Abstract
In addition, the "inconsistent" practice of marking a stage direction with or without ke or the presence or absence of a stage direction in certain scenes in plays from different collections may point to the fact that not all stage directions are reliable sources or evidence. A surviving fourteenth-century temple wall painting (see figure 1) about an actual performance of a zaju play, a fourteenth-century collection of biographical notes and anecdotes about Yuan performers (Qing lou ji; The Green Bower Collection), and some other small artifacts tell us little about the actual performance and staging of Yuan zaju aside from some vague information about certain players, costuming, and musical instruments.
