Why are most of the comedies told in Beijing dialect (what are the comedies that learn to speak Beijing dialect)

1. The reason why most of the comedy is in Beijing dialect is because it originated in Beijing and flourished in Tianjin.

2. There are three major origins of comedy: Tianqiao in Beijing, Guanyechang in Tianjin and Fuzimiao in Nanjing. It is generally believed to have been formed in the Qing Dynasty during the reigns of Xianfeng and Tongzhi. It is a popular form of Chinese art that uses jokes or comical questions and answers to make the audience laugh. The comic opera evolved from the Song dynasty's xiangsheng (像生). By the late Qing Dynasty, xiangsheng had developed a modern character and style. Xiangsheng was widely spread in North China, so it was mainly spoken in Beijing dialect, but there were also dialectal xiangshengs spoken in local dialects in various places.

3. In the process of its formation, xiangsheng drew extensively on ventriloquism, storytelling and other arts, and was characterized by the use of Zhuang in Harmony, the use of satirical jokes to express the truth, goodness and beauty, and by the use of laughter, with the use of speaking, learning, teasing and singing as the main means of artistic performance in the form of a monologue, a counterpoint and a group of mouth three kinds of performances. Single-mouth comedy is performed by an actor, telling jokes; counterpart comedy is performed by two actors, one holding and one teasing, and usually there is a head of sinking and mother and child feeding two categories; group mouth comedy is also called group work, performed by more than three actors. The traditional comedy repertoire is based on satirizing various ugly phenomena in the old society and reflecting various life phenomena through witty narratives, and after 1949, in addition to continuing to carry forward the satirical tradition, there are also works that celebrate new people and new events. The traditional repertoire of comedy includes "Guan Gong Battles Qin Qiong", "Drama and Dialect", "Jia Xingjia", and "Stripping the Horse's Coat". The works reflecting real life are more influential, such as Night Journey, Buying Monkey, Yesterday, and Hat Factory.
