Ding Xilin is one of the pillars of modern Chinese theater. Like other writers of his generation in that period, he received his higher education in Europe, and in one way or another he was influenced by the modern literary and intellectual currents prevalent in that period. However, he didn't like the others of his generation, deny and oppose traditional theater, such as Zhu Zuoren, Fu Sinian. Hu Shi, he laid the foundations for his theater from the Chinese traditional theater and added to it what the European theater enjoyed in terms of aesthetic and artistic elements and intellectual, political and social goals that China needed during its revolution against the imperial and imperialist regime in the early twentieth century, so he presented a distinguished theater with a comic spirit that China did not witness in that time. This paper aims to reach the tendency of the great playwright, Ding Xilin, towards the traditional theater or the Western theater, or to combine them in a distinct form through the analysis of three one-act plays by Ding Shilin, namely 《Injustice》, 《After Drunkenness》, and 《The One-eyed》
