Fighting the Tiger, the Whole String of Episodes

Performed by

Textual Unit for this story :   串貫  chuanguan
  string,

"Whole string", quan chuanguan. The title of this text points to the idea of "complete scenes stringed together", quan chuanguan. It seems like the manuscript is considered a "complete" assemblage of all the "scenes" constituting the play. It is however, not clear where one scene ends and the next begins, if this text is considered to contain all the scenes of Figthing the Tiger. The unit for this play as a whole might then be a "whole string", quan chuanguan. (should be further researched)
