摘要

In 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council unveiled the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, which explicitly stated the intention to “support the promotion of Lingnan culture as represented by Cantonese opera, dragon boat racing, martial arts, lion dance, etc., and showcase the Greater Bay Area’s unique cultural appeal.” Contributing to this momentum, this chapter examines the distinctive features of Cantonese opera scripts from the 1930s to 1970s—comparing the art in Foshan, the cradle of the art form, and Hong Kong, its vibrant dissemination hub. After analyzing the evolution of Cantonese opera in both regions, the chapter proposes actionable strategies to foster collaborative growth and ensure the form’s enduring legacy.
