Did Zhang Yunlei really contribute to the promotion of traditional culture, as people say?

I think Zhang Yunlei really contributed to the promotion of China traditional culture, as people say, because Zhang Yunlei himself is a crosstalk performer. He gained a lot of audience by talking about cross talk, and a large part of these audience paid attention to and liked cross talk because of him.

Crosstalk existed in ancient China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it was considered as the most popular culture and art at that time. In many teahouses at that time, there were not only entertainment items such as storytelling and playing opera, but also culture and art such as Beijing opera and cross talk that were not well known to the public. However, since the development of the two traditional cultures, Peking Opera and Crosstalk, there are almost no audiences, and it is almost impossible for Peking Opera actors and Crosstalk actors to survive on Peking Opera and Crosstalk. Therefore, it is really rare for actors who still insist on promoting Beijing opera and cross talk.

When it comes to cross talk, many readers immediately think of Deyun Society, because in recent years, Yun-peng Yue, Zhang Yunlei, Guo Qilin and other cross talk actors have appeared in Deyun Society. Take Zhang Yunlei for example. Many people like him not only because of cross talk, but also because of his outstanding appearance, lovable personality, strong performance ability and other factors. However, it is undeniable that many viewers have begun to pay attention to cross talk, a traditional culture in China, and so has Zhang Yunlei.

Besides crosstalk, members of Deyun Society will also learn Peking Opera. Degang Guo, Yun-peng Yue, Guo Qilin, Zhang Yunlei and other members of Deyun Society have all shown their Beijing opera aria in variety shows, so Zhang Yunlei and other members of Deyun Society are actually promoting Beijing opera culture other than crosstalk culture. In addition, Zhang Yunlei also released folk songs on his social platform, for example, Zhang Yunlei's cover "Exploring Qingshui River" has a strong flavor of Beijing songs.

To sum up, Zhang Yunlei's contribution to promoting traditional culture may not be as good as those of the old artists, but we can't deny his efforts in promoting traditional culture.
