'''''Yuanben''''' () was an early form of [[Chinese opera]] which thrived in northern China during the [[Jin dynasty (1115–1234)]] and early [[Yuan dynasty]] (1271–1368). Unlike the contemporary ''[[nanxi (theatre)|nanxi]]'', which flourished in [[East China]], no ''yuanben'' play has survived.<ref>Jin, p. 21.</ref> Nevertheless, 691 ''yuanben'' titles are listed in a 1366 book by [[Tao Zongyi]].<ref>Mackerras, p. 22–23.</ref> ''Yuanben'' might have been very similar to the ''[[zaju]]'' in the [[Song dynasty]] which controlled southern China, and it eventually evolved into the ''zaju'' of the Yuan dynasty.<ref></ref>

==Role types==
There were five role types in ''yuanben'', namely:<ref>Mackerras, p. 20.</ref>
*''Fujing'' (), derived from the ''canjun'' role type in ''[[canjunxi]]'', a clown
*''Fumo'' (), derived from the ''canghu'' role type in ''canjunxi'', a jester
*''Yinxi'' (), a playleader
*''Moni'' (), an actor-director
*''Guzhuang'' (), the "mandarin" role
