The action and costuming of the roles in Chinese drama indicate that they are not figures of reality. Objectively speaking, they can be likened to puppets, to ghosts; subjectively, they can be likened to people of ancient times or in paintings. But the ultimate purpose of Chinese drama is to make the audience recognize them as live human beings, beings in reality; to make them feel “this is real” through the unrealistic characters and performances. This is a subtle state, requiring the fusion of psychology of both the actors and the audience.29
