採茶戲在二十世紀初年由客家三腳採茶戲改良為大戲，開始進入商業戲院做售票演出，演出十日、二十日為計的連續劇，大量的劇目需求使採茶戲班必需向外採借劇目，包括京劇、亂彈戲、四平戲、歌仔戲都是採茶戲採借的對象。本文選擇1960 年代及2008 年的兩個採茶戲《金龜記》版本，與京劇《金龜記》、亂彈戲《金龜記》相互比較，以「文本比較」的方法，從「情節」、「敘事」、「唱腔」、「交流管道」等角度來探討採茶戲《金龜記》的來源、因應不同審美要求所為的改編策略。獲致的結論為，採茶戲《金龜記》源自於台灣亂彈戲《金龜記》，在採借之後，改唱〈平板〉，但對於角色的唱腔安排、唱詞的表現方式、敘事重心等，都有沿用與調整之處。這齣戲因為主要角色為老旦、丑角，主要情節重心置於家庭倫理衝突，與三腳採茶戲的本質接近，雖然採借自亂彈戲，在採茶戲班多於夜戲演出，在演出實踐上可以觀察到，表演中於角色行當、唱腔上調整，使之能完全以〈平板〉之類的採茶唱腔演唱，故而被稱為「山歌齣」或「老時採茶齣」。

In the early of 1900s, Tea-Picking Drama is modified by Hakka Three-roles drama to be a large scale of drama, which it has begun to enter the business theater as a ticket show for ten days and/or twenty days of continuous performance.
