碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 戲劇學研究所 === 100 === This thesis consists of two parts—one is newly adapted Jing-Jus: Wu Yuan Desire a Treasured Sword and Peach Blossoms and the Lover''s Face; the other is the plot explanation and text analysis. 　　 Wu Yuan Desire a Treasured Sword tells that Wu Yuan is anxious to take revenge; therefore, he needs a treasured sword to achieve his goal. Hence, he persuades Gan Jiang and Mo Ye to forge a treasured sword. On the process of the revenge, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye die innocently. Moreover, a character called ‘Piping Man’ reminds Wu Yuan of the unnecessary sacrifice; meanwhile, Piping Man questions him why he must do and makes him introspect what he has done.The second play, Peach Blossoms and the Lover''s Face, is adapted from a zaju of the same title in Ming Dynasty. Love between the leading roles (Yi Chuen and Chuei Hu) is the main plot, and then comparing and contrasting the different situations of love with the other two couples. By this, the core of the play might reveal—meet and miss among people. 　　 After that, the plot explanation and text analysis express my thoughts on the plays, including the creative originality and analysis of the plot and characters.Finally, I attempt to review the whole writing process; through which the work is fulfilled.
