Introduction to storytelling

Storytelling, also known as storytelling and storytelling, is commonly known as telling the ancients in Cantonese, and the old saying goes. It is a traditional oral performance art form in ancient China, which was popular in Song Dynasty. Storytellers from all over the world tell people different stories in their mother tongue, so they are also part of dialect culture.

In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, storytelling was a person sitting behind a desk, holding a folding fan and waking up, and wearing a gown. By the middle of the 20th century, props such as tables, chairs, folding fans and awakening wood were no longer used, while standing, talking, performing and clothes were not so fixed. However, after the reform and opening up in China in the late 1970s, under the impact of electronic media and the promotion of Putonghua, the storytelling culture of some dialects gradually declined and was on the verge of disappearing, but it still had its vitality.
