川剧是流行于巴蜀、云、贵等西南地区的民间传统戏剧艺术。随着时代变迁，人们对川剧的欣赏意图也发生了变化。

在现代人眼中，变脸、吐火、藏刀等艺术技巧已经成为川剧的代表性符号，人们走进戏院，去感受技巧带来的视觉冲击，而忽略了川剧作为传统戏剧艺术本身所具有的声腔特色、表演程式以及川剧剧本较高的文学价值。“唐三千、宋八百,演不完的周列国”，川剧如此博大精深，岂是一技能以蔽之？

 

Sichuan opera is a traditional folk drama art and popular in Bashu, Yunan, Guizhou and the southwest of China. As time changes, the opera appreciation intentions of people in Sichuan have changed, too. In modern eyes, the artistic skills such as changing faces, spitting fire, Tibetan dao, etc, have become a representative symbol of Sichuan opera. People walk into the theater, to feel the visual impact from the techniques, while ignoring the inherent spirit of Sichuan opera as a traditional drama with spoke features, performance program, and high literary value. "Three thousand for Tang, eight hundred for song, play not over of the nations", Sichuan opera is so extensive and profound, is a skill in short?
