Traditional storytelling works choose old books.

According to my own experience of listening to storytelling for many years, I think the following four storytelling novels can be called "four classic novels" in the storytelling field, namely Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Legend of a Bridled Hero, Yang Jiajiang and Water Margin.

? The Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by Taishan Beidou, the art of storytelling, is Mr. Yuan Kuocheng's most outstanding masterpiece and the pinnacle of storytelling. This is real storytelling, whether it's commenting or talking. Teacher Yuan applied his profound knowledge of culture and history to the introduction of the Three Kingdoms, quoted and explained a large number of historical allusions, which made the audience immersive and increased a lot of knowledge.

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Lao didn't imitate and distinguish the voices of the characters too much, but each character's image is vivid and lifelike, so I have to admire Yuan Lao's profound artistic skill. Yuan Lao didn't talk much about storytelling in his life, but only one Romance of the Three Kingdoms was enough to make him famous in history and establish his position as a storyteller.

? Dan Tianfang is the most influential storytelling hero. He devoted his life to the spread and creation of storytelling, which is a real work. If we want to say which one of China's storytelling has the greatest influence, I think it must be The Legend of a Hero with a Bridled Eyebrow. This work is the representative work of Shan Lao, and it is deeply loved by book fans. If Mr. Yuan Kuocheng's Romance of the Three Kingdoms is compared to an elite in a suit and tie, then Mr. Dan Tianfang's Biography of a Hero with a Bridled Eyebrow is an ordinary citizen, so the Biography of a Hero with a Bridled Eyebrow is more grounded, with a wider audience and greater influence.

Shan Lao is good at establishing characters by shaping their voices, such as Liang Xu's strong Shanxi accent; Feng Yuan has a southern accent; Fang Shuan, on the other hand, has no nose or wind, and different accents add a lot of color to the characters in the book.

? The most nostalgic ballad Yang Jiajiang and Liu Lanfang's Yang Jiajiang are his representative works. In the early 1980s, TV was still a luxury, so every family had a radio. People's most common forms of entertainment are listening to cross talk and telling stories on the radio to listen to opera, so as to meet people's spiritual and cultural needs.

At that time, storytelling was an episode every night, and if you want to listen to the next episode, you have to wait until tomorrow night. At that time, Yang Jiajiang was being broadcast in Liu Lanfang. I have seen every household listen to the hot scene of Yang Jiajiang, and "Yang Jiajiang" has become my favorite ballad.

? The most humorous ballad "The Water Margin" I haven't heard much of Mr. Tian Lianyuan's ballad, except Liu Xiuchuan, which is the Water Margin. Tian Lao's storytelling "Water Margin" can give people a pleasant and relaxed feeling like listening to cross talk. So listening to Water Margin is very enjoyable, and tian teacher's storytelling style is good at humor. The above are four famous storytelling books I have selected.
