Chapter 6 "Cross talk actor" tells history

I saw an article by Yuan Tengfei on the Internet, explaining why he satirized and criticized the Ming Dynasty in his book "What is History", and thought it was a bit funny.Those readers were amused by his doubts, and his explanations were also amused, because "What's History" is not a book that wins with opinions. How Yuan Tengfei interprets history is not important at all. Debating opinions with him, It seems to let Go players become "Go performance artists". I have always held this view: if a historical book is still like a book, it should have at least one of the following characteristics: distinctive language organization; characteristic narrative style; little-known historical materials; self-summarized fresh point of view.However, "What's History" does not have an advantage in the last three points. It is basically a straightforward narration of historical facts that everyone is familiar with. However, it is unique in the first one. "Empress Changsun took the lead, her clothes were not beautiful, and her skirts did not drag the floor. She did not wear embroidered or brocade clothes, and there was no cotton at that time, so she wore linen. In order to save fabric, the skirts were made super short and could not drag the floor. The queen looks like this, can the concubines surpass the queen? One is shorter than the other! Can the civil and military officials pass the concubines... It’s too cheap”; “Genghis Khan is a golden helmet, a golden plate, a golden bowl, and golden chopsticks , he died by leaning against a big tree. So the Mongolians sawed off the tree, cut it in half and dug it into a trough to put it in, surrounded by three golden hoops is his coffin. Mongolians are very environmentally friendly, I come from the grasslands, When I die, I will be nourished. I can’t occupy cultivated land, and I don’t build graves. Every emperor of the Yuan Dynasty is buried in this way, so you can’t find the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty.”… These languages ​​are very similar to cross talk actors talking about cross talk.His masterpiece is marked "Yuan Tengfei = Yi Zhongtian + Guo Degang" on his waist. It is not clear whether Yuan Tengfei looks like Yi Zhongtian. After reading the whole book, he does look like Guo Degang.

So, can cross talk actors tell history?Of course, as long as he doesn't deviate too much from the historical facts, he can speak well and people are willing to listen.Sometimes history is heavy, and sometimes history is off the charts.Taking history as a model and rewriting it by various people, it is a skill to make it thought-provoking; it is even more skillful to make it full of jokes.Yuan Tengfei said: "Interests always come first. You can't force your head down if you don't eat grass. It's better to make students laugh than tell them to sleep. How many children like to read history books now? Especially Is it the kind of dry and serious history book?" Through his narration, you know that there are still such things in history, and as for what you gain and understand, it is up to you to experience it.Anyway, his goal of instilling historical facts has been achieved. ""

In this era, the most popular must not be the master.Yuan Tengfei is known as "the best history teacher in history". He is first of all a teacher, not a master. Don't ask him to be like a master. He does a better job than other history teachers and cultivates students' interest in history. Will suffice.
