Has the art of storytelling really declined?

Say no decline, say no decline. In fact, the art of storytelling is declining.

Now Dan Tianfang's storytelling is still broadcast on more than 500 national broadcasting frequencies, and the audience of storytelling in Dan Tianfang reaches 300 million people every day. Speaking of this, storytelling still has a wide audience, but at what stage? Brothers and sisters, people who drive after work, middle-aged and elderly people account for the majority, and young people are basically rare. Because today's middle-aged people don't have televisions and computers when they are young, broadcasting is their pleasure. Many people still keep this tradition when they grow up, so they have a large audience.

It is said that the art of storytelling is declining, because people after 80,90,000 are less and less interested in storytelling. People born in 1980 are fine. Many people like to listen to storytelling. When they were born after 90, they were already accompanied by video game consoles, so most of them would not choose to listen to boring songs, but watch cartoons and play games. Needless to say, after 00, computers are popular and I can't listen to storytelling.

Look at the post-90s generation. I don't know what stupid songs to listen to every day. Take Fahrenheit and TVXQ!! As idols, there are also those brain-dead singers on the Internet. Their brains are really like being kicked by a donkey, making up vulgar songs, such as Xu Liang, Phoenix Legend, Yang Chenggang and Cyndi Wang by sb. In recent years, the more popular artist is Degang Guo, while Degang Guo has a strong foundation in traditional Quyi. However, people who have this knowledge are not on the right track, writing vulgar and kitsch jokes to impress the audience. They either tell dirty jokes or make fun of other people's personalities. They don't have the artistic virtue of an old artist, and their personality is too inferior. There is even a set of steel wires, which shows people's appreciation level now.

One more thing, the art of storytelling has no successor. These people in Yuan Kuocheng, Tian Lianyuan, Dan Tianfang and Liu Lanfang are old, and they have no energy to tell good stories. Middle-aged people are Sun Bin and Zhang Shaozuo, but Zhang Shaozuo Sun Bin's storytelling is good, but it is still much worse than their predecessors, such as Tian Lianyuan and Dan Tianfang in Yuan Kuocheng. There is great room for development, and young storytellers have nothing to say. The disciples of Yunzi generation in Degang Guo are basically neglected. To tell the truth, I like Dan Tianfang's storytelling very much, but look at the apprentice brought out by his old man's house. The other day, I saw Dan Tianfang and his apprentice invited by Hunan Satellite TV "Everyday Up". I saw that his disciples didn't look like people who could support traditional art at all, and they were dressed in fashion. Where are they like artists in China? I feel sorry for his father.

Therefore, the comprehensive description of young audiences does not like it, and the art of storytelling has declined because there is no successor and the state does not support it.
