This paper is an analytical study on the Cai-Yen's captivity and return. Through the five works analyzed, it concludes that the diasporal complex has analogy to the text structure. Meanwhile, it points out the fact that the librettos earn their narrative power again in the performance art. The five works analyzed are the ones accomplished by Chen Yu-chiao (陳與郊)、Cheng Yen-chiu (程硯秋)、Kuo Mo-ruo (郭沫若)、Hsu Ying (徐瑛) and Wang An-chi (王安祈)。
