Can Jiang Kun tell traditional jokes and sing traditional plays?

Jiang Kun didn't perform many traditional cross talk jokes. More famous is that he went to Tianjin a few years ago and performed a video with eight fan screens at the request of Tianjin audience. Later, Jiang Kun himself mentioned this matter, saying that he passed the test of Tianjin audience with this passage. However, in my opinion, Jiang Kun's infiltration performance is not "good". But Jiang Kun is familiar with traditional cross talk jokes. According to my observation, I still make up lessons and study hard. In addition, some traditional jokes performed by Jiang Kun are not vulgar, such as "King Kong pushes the stone" and "Tang Jiezhong and the disciples of Dashan", which I think are all very good. It is both traditional and contemporary, ancient but not ancient. The size of the bag inside is also quite remarkable. People often say that Jiang Kun looked down on traditional crosstalk and even "ruined" it, which I think is unfair. According to my observation, Jiang Kun respects traditional crosstalk-I have read some internal materials of Chinese Quyi Association, and there are written records of Jiang Kun giving lectures to many crosstalk performers, which can illustrate this point. There are really not many traditional jokes that he performed himself, which is for a reason-according to my current understanding, I have to say that Jiang Kun probably has not received solid education and training in traditional crosstalk works and techniques. Although he was Ma Ji's master, he was already a mature crosstalk performer at that time, and I'm afraid there will be no real basic skills learning. I really want to take the fact that he rarely performs traditional cross talk as his awe of traditional cross talk-I really haven't learned it and dare not act blindly. And he also knows where his strengths are, and there is really no need to force himself to expose his weaknesses. As far as traditional Chinese opera is concerned, I have only seen the joke "Face-to-face" co-performed with Taiwan Province crosstalk performer Wu. Another memory is that he sang a few words of Shajiabang in his cross talk works-"Morning Sunlight Reflects Yangcheng Lake". Is there anything I can't remember at the moment? In addition, I personally think that traditional cross talk usually refers to those cross talk works with earlier ages. What is really worth inheriting is not these "traditional cross talk", but the "cross talk tradition" contained in the works.

Sometimes, instead of traditional crosstalk, crosstalk traditions are everywhere-for example, the "new works" performed by old artists in those years. Traditional cross talk, leaving the cross talk tradition, has no "tradition" at all, although eight cloth screens are still being sold. So "Have you ever told a traditional joke" is not a particularly important indicator. If we want to judge the artistic level of a crosstalk performer by this, it is also inappropriate. The traditional phrase "speaking" is rather vague. What is "talking"? I'm afraid different people will have different standards. Hou, Ma, is that called "talking"? Do Gao Yingpei and Wei Wenliang count? Does a young man who has just come out of a music school and studied several traditional programs count?
