What are the three schools of cross talk in China?

Crosstalk is divided into three schools, Zhu School, A School and Shen School. Zhu School refers to the school founded by Zhu Shaowen.

Zhang Sanlu's crosstalk is a pure stand-up, mouth-to-mouth and group performance, which started with Zhu Shaowen and is an innovation of crosstalk performance.

Different from many folk artists, Zhu Shaowen's knowledge of ancient Chinese is very profound, so he can be vulgar without hurting elegance when performing, so as to appreciate elegance.

Folk crosstalk artists have the ability to sing and then write in white sand, which was also initiated by Mr. Zhu Shaowen.

The origin of the name

English Translation: Crosstalk or Comic Crosstalk, Talk Show, or China Crosstalk.

There are three cradles of crosstalk: Beijing Tianqiao, Tianjin Quanyechang and Nanjing Confucius Temple, which are divided into North School and South School. It is generally believed that it was formed during the reign of Xianfeng and Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty. It is a folk art form that makes the audience laugh by telling jokes or interesting questions and answers. It evolved from "Xiang Sheng" in the Song Dynasty. By the end of Qing Dynasty, crosstalk had formed modern characteristics and styles.

Mainly in Beijing dialect, there are also "dialect crosstalk" in local dialects. In the process of cross talk, we have absorbed the artistic advantages of ventriloquism and storytelling extensively, combined Zhuang and harmony, expressed truth, goodness and beauty with satirical jokes, made people laugh as the artistic feature, and took "speaking, learning, teasing and singing" as the main artistic means. There are three forms of performance: stand-alone performance, counterpart performance and group performance. Stand-up crosstalk is performed by actors and tells jokes.
