If the fine repertoire cannot be performed frequently and polished unremittingly, it will fade into waste in the historical smoke clouds of the big waves. Therefore, the creators should not only learn from and retain the affirmations in the original classic works, but also improve the shortcomings in continuous forging, strengthen the artistic height, humanistic temperature and ideological depth, so that the play can be seen in the audience's mind from "can be seen" to "have to see".
Classics require the common aesthetic identification of different eras and the time-lapse test of historical processes. Therefore, the fine works of drama since the 21st century cannot be called classics at present. Classics will always have to be commented upon by generations to come. However, for the repertoire that has reached the plateau of fine quality and can still climb to the peak of classics, there should still be cultural consciousness and unremitting pursuit.
