Banned Drama 

Seducing obscenity and inducing theft" are the two swords for dramas. The dramas, if slightly overstepping in content and causing displeasure to the ruling class, the swords will be immediately cut down. The phrase "seducing obscenity and inducing theft" comes from "Classic of Changes -The Copulatives (Volume A): "Keeping properties improperly will cause theft, and coquettish makeup will induce flirting." That means: If you don”t keep your properties well, others will steal them; and if women dress very flirtatiously, they will entice others” flirting. If used in a drama, it means the drama will lure the audience to commit crimes or do evil things such as theft and adultery.
