《偷桃记》传奇为晚明皖南曲家吴修德唯一一部载录于史的作品。该剧对于东方朔故事的戏曲呈现，具有亦庄亦谐的整体特征，曲辞之间透露出吴修德本人崇古尊史、质疑功名、崇尚侠义的文人心态。将吴修德置于晚明皖南戏曲家这一整体语境之中，能够发现他们在创作风格上存在诸多相似之处，这与晚明社会背景以及皖南文化环境密切相关。

The legend of Stealing Peach, is the only work recorded in history by Wu Xiude, a composer from southern Anhui in the late Ming Dynasty. The drama presentation of Dongfang Shuo's story has the overall characteristics of both seriousness and melodrama, which reveals Wu Xiude's own literati mentality of respecting ancient history, questioning fame and advocating chivalry. When Wu Xiude is placed in the overall context of the opera artists in southern Anhui in the late Ming Dynasty, it can be found that there are many similarities in their creation styles, which is closely related to the social background of the late Ming Dynasty and the cultural environment in southern Anhui.
