Notes
1 Neither term should be confused with Liyuan xi 梨園戲, a theater genre which uses the nanguan/nanyin musical system, as well as many of the same texts. The history of these genres is further complicated by the fact that in the early Communist period, three separate genres were amalgamated to form the first state-sponsored Liyuan xi troupes. In Taiwan, the theatrical form is also often called Nanguan xi, although Taiwanese troupes which perform the genre are semi-professional.
