Passing through the development stage of Qing Dynasty to Period of Republic of China, the script for Story of Liusanjie was finalized during the formation stage took place between 1950s and 1960s. The very first appearance of story of Liusanjie was in Quanqi Opera of Qing Dynasty, A man in the snow. Appearance was continued in Liusanmei of Ouyangyuqian's Opera yet unperformed, along with Liusanmeigecao of Zhengzi Opera which didn’t have a full script but was very popular at the time. These works deeply contributed to story of Liusanjie to be made into a script. Transformation of the story to a script was initiated in 1950s shortly after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. A script written for Caidiao Opera of Dengchangling was the first, and it not only generalized the name ‘Liusanjie’ but also became the matrix of the scripts for Song and Dance Dramas. Xiaoganniu Liusanjie story and Daqiao Opera Liusanjie, which arrived after Caidiao Opera of Dengchangling, also took a big role in formation of the script by redeeming its contents and using advanced technologies of stagecraft.
