Abstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of reception of Chekhov's dramaturgy in the modern Chinese theater. The subject of the study is the stage reception of Chekhov's plays in China in the XX and XXI centuries. The purpose of this work is a systematic analysis of the features of Chekhov's dramaturgy in the Chinese theater in different periods. The main methods are descriptive, analytical and comparative methods. Chekhov's plays were introduced to China more than a hundred years ago, and most of his dramatic works were staged in a modern Chinese theater. In various performances based on Chekhov's plays, Chinese playwrights-directors such as Yang Shen, Lai Shengchuan, Li Liuyi, Lin Zhaohua, etc., show us their unique interpretation of Chekhov's drama in many areas. Many studies consider the problem of the influence of Chekhov's dramaturgy on the work of Chinese writers, and the problem of stage interpretation of Chekhov's plays in China has been little studied. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the fact that it provides for the first time a relatively holistic analysis of the stage reception of Chekhov's dramatic works in China in the XX and XXI centuries. Modern Chinese theatrical figures carefully treat the text of the originals of Chekhov's plays, while offering new interpretations of his dramaturgy. Russian Russian stage interpretation and Chekhov's reception in China have already become one interpretive code for the study of Russian drama in modern Chinese theater and modern Russian-Chinese literary relations.

In short, Chekhov's interpretation on the Chinese contemporary stage is also closely related to various factors, such as the social and cultural situation of modern China, Russian-Chinese cultural exchanges, the general situation in literature, the prevailing discourse of that time, etc., which corresponds to the perception and dissemination of Chekhov's dramas in modern China. At the same time, Chekhov's bizarre journey on the Chinese stage, accompanied by the weakening of literary nationalization, the development of literary globalization and the prosperity of commercial culture, experienced resistance to the discipline of mass consciousness and the construction of an individual poetic soul, and also reflects the difficult transition from political utopia to cultural reflection at the turn of the XX and XXI centuries and the path of dramatic compromise under the influence of the market and mass culture to popular aesthetics. Russian Russian drama As a result, Chekhov's stage interpretation and reception in China have become one interpretive code for the study of Russian drama in modern Chinese theater and modern Russian-Chinese literary relations.

A greater number of references to authoritative works, such as monographs, doctoral and/or PhD dissertations on related topics, which could strengthen the theoretical component of the work in line with the national scientific school.
