Toward the end of a play's first half, plot development should be
suspended and the beating of gongs and drums ceased for the moment. This
is what is called "midpoint conclusion." At such a juncture,
the plot should be well-knit rather than drawn out, and the atmosphere
lively rather than cheerless. (Li Yu: Occasional Notes with Leisure Motions)
