The ancients called drama scripts chuanqi because the extraordinary events, which no one had actually experienced, were passed down the ages. In other words, without the strangeness, no one would bother to pass them on. "Novel" or xin is just another term for "strange and unusual." If this particular plot line has been performed before and is familiar to thousands upon thousands of people, then there is nothing novel about it, then what is the need to pass it on? It is thus important for those who write scripts to understand the meaning of chuanqi. (Li Yu: Occasional Notes with Leisure Motions ) 去书内
