Hsi hsiang chi

"The drama relates the wooing and winning of the beautiful Tsʻui Ying-ying by the young scholar Chang Chun-jui. The trio of major characters is completed by Hung Niang, the quick-witted maid who acts as a go-between for the lovers. Hers are some of the best scenes in the play, and the charm of her character is so great that in Peking opera the drama has long been performed with her name as the title."--From book jacket.
