	Study Text for Purple Hairpin Co-edited by: Dr Cheung Kwan-hin, Prof Chan Sauyan, Dr HO Koon Wan
	Adapted from Ming dynasty playwright Tang Xianzu's play with the same name, Purple Hairpin by Tong Dik-sang is considered the most successful Canto-opera on courtesans, rendering it a Canto-operatic classic. Yet, for various reasons, Tong's adaptation is not without flaws from historical and geographical perspectives, especially as regards the proper names used. Those bugs are in the main left unfixed hitherto. Apart from fulfilling the expected function of annotating the play in terms of music, language and theatrical art, this study text goes one step further to thoroughly re-edit the entire play, rectifying certain anachronisms, mis-locations, and similar anomalies. It is hoped that this re-edited version adds even more favour to this classic.
