Abstract

The present study aims at analyzing the phonemic features reflected by the text of the Lianhualao opera Wangpo Maji from an inner reconstruction perspective. This work is currently preserved at the Waseda University Library. It is a rare and valuable text for the studies on history and development of folklore operas. However, we have no specific information on where and when the manuscript has been copied. Therefore, the philological analysis of the phonemic features of this text may represent the starting point of further studies on the origins of this unique literary source.
