The success of the nationalization of Chinese folk opera is discussed in an in-depth and systematical manner from three theoretical perspectives, namely, subject-theme nationalization, character-language nationaliza- tion, as well as form-style nationalization. A series of opera works created in the early 1940s, such as Song of Shanghai （Zhang Hao, 1939）, Song of the Great Land （Qian Renkang, 1940）, Autumn （Huang Luoyuan, 1939） , etc. , drew upon the writing, singing and performing characteristics of Western operas, spearheading the effort to bring about nationalized Chinese folk opera. Since 1942, a milestone in the history of Chinese opera has been established, which pertains to the creation of the White-Haired Girl, and this signifies that Chinese opera has finally found its own unique development road.%从题材与主题的民族化、人物与语言的民族化、形式与风格的民族化三大理论层面,系统而深入地探讨了中国民族歌剧的成功之路。20世纪40年代初的《上海之歌》《大地之歌》《秋子》等作品,在借鉴西洋歌剧的创作特点、演唱特点、表演特点等方面起了先行作用。1942年以后,由延安秧歌剧发展而成的,具有民族特色的歌剧《白毛女》的诞生,标志着我国歌剧步入到了一个新阶段,并对后来中国的民族歌剧产生了巨大影响。
