禁戏（Banned Drama）

"诲淫"、"诲盗"是悬在戏剧头上的两把剑，戏的内容稍有逾越，为统治阶级不悦，此剑便会当即砍下。"诲淫诲盗"一语，本出于《周易系辞上》："慢藏诲盗，冶容诲淫。"其意为：财物不仔细保管，会招致别人来偷盗；女子打扮得十分妖艳，也会引诱别人来调戏。用在"戏"上，即指"戏"可引诱、教唆看戏的人犯罪，去做奸淫盗窃之类的恶事。"Seducing obscenity and inducing theft" are the two swords for dramas. The dramas, if slightly overstepping in content and causing displeasure to the ruling class, the swords will be immediately cut down. The phrase "seducing obscenity and inducing theft" comes from "Classic of Changes -The Copulatives (Volume A): "Keeping properties improperly will cause theft, and coquettish makeup will induce flirting." That means: If you don't keep your properties well, others will steal them; and if women dress very flirtatiously, they will entice others' flirting. If used in a drama, it means the drama will lure the audience to commit crimes or do evil things such as theft and adultery.
