Abstract: Hubei playwright Shen Hongguang’s creation of the plays taking wars as historical subject matter is with gains and losses, different from the plays about daily life. Applying routing devices to constructing non-routine war history will weaken the acute conflict that the history is with. The sight limitation prevents Shen Hongguang from creating heroic characters from every aspect. And her plays are effective in the aspect of literature, but lack gripping stage effect in a state of ordinariness and indelicacy.

Key words: Shen Hongguang, play creation, subject matter of war history, literariness, stage effect
