ABSTRACT

There are some commonly-used curses in the plays of Shanxi Opera. They are about different subjects, which can be grouped as follows, curses about appellations, human relations, animals, reproductive organs, dialects and linguistic metaphors. These curses have strong linguistic colors and coordinate with the identities of the characters in the play. Most curses have the unique features of the dialects in central Shaanxi. They can convey such strong emotions as hatred, and anger and sorry as well. The proper use of curses in the play can shorten the distances between audiences and call resonance with them.
