They all say, "Listen to books to listen to Wang Shaotang."
This article gives "reasons"
Judging from this article, this is a commemorative article jointly signed by Ji Zhiguang, Wang Litang, and Hou Yaohua after the death of Wang Shaotang. From it, he also wrote why "to listen to books, you must listen to Wang Shaotang."
The article analyzes, "The biggest feature of Wang Shaotang's storytelling: meticulous, clear explanation, witty and funny, vivid. Whether in the portrayal of character personality, the addition of secondary characters, in the addition, coherence, rendering of the plot, in the depiction of details and the popular colloquialism of language, there has been a great development, and has a deep Yangzhou local flavor, especially the style of urban life in Yangzhou, clearly presented in the eyes of the audience. The characters in the book are brought to life by him, and the audience first sees him, with a voice and color, and a beautiful voice. For example, he said "Wusong Fighting Tigers" from "Three Bowls but Not Gang" to Wusong Shangjingyang gang, because of too much wine, he hesitated, hung his hat on the treetops, and then fell asleep on the bluestone slab, until he woke up and killed the tiger for three days, when Wu Song left Jingyang Gang, Wang Shaotang asked the audience: 'Wu Song has something not taken away, which one can answer?' And no one in the audience can remember, he laughed and told everyone: 'Wu Song has a hat?' The audience suddenly realized, and laughed from stage to stage.
Another example is the 'killing sister-in-law' paragraph, Wu Song's steel knife is on Pan Jinlian's neck, the book talks for two days, and finally a knife is cut, but the audience is not bored and impatient at all. Wang Shaotang interspersed many small plots in the book, which look like 'extraneous branches' but 'born from the trunk', and the audience feels relish. ”
In this article, another feature of Wang Shaotang's storytelling was also mentioned: "Wushu Wenshu said", "in the mouth (words), hands (posture), body (duan), steps (law), god (feelings), that is, the eyes, the posture is very beautiful, accurate and powerful, to achieve 'rigidity in softness, softness in rigidity', and the famous stage performance artist Gai Mingtian's martial arts text, the same work. When he talks about martial arts on stage, he does not point fingers, jump around, and make big moves, but through a simple prop of a fan, with a glowing gaze, to express various things in a virtual way, and many plots speak with eyes. ”

Wang Shaotang visited Shi Nai'an's hometown
Hanging his grave
In addition to Wang Shaotang's art of commentary, the article also introduces Wang Shaotang's spirit of study: "Wang Shaotang personally visited the hometown of Shi Nai'an, the author of "Water Margin", in order to tell the book, hanging his grave, and visiting the local people to talk to them, collecting relevant materials and legends to enrich the content of his book. Wang Shaotang is a decent, hospitable, and open-minded person, and although he is too old to be old, he is still diligent and studious. ”
The whole article also introduces the influence of Wang Pai's "Water Margin", etc., and the signature is "Ji Zhiguang, Wang Litang, Hou Yaohua". Tian Yurong analyzed that this is an article written by Ji Zhiguang and others to commemorate Wang Shaotang after Wang Shaotang's death according to their respective memories.
Mystery
Adaptation of "Blood Splash Mandarin Duck Tower"
Leave a mystery behind
In this article, a detail was also mentioned: "A student made an opinion to Elder Wang, saying that in "Blood Splash mandarin duck tower", Wu Song killed 21 people from the back door to the Mandarin Duck Tower, which simply described Wu Song as a demon king who killed people without blinking, which damaged Wu Song's heroic image, Wang Shaotang thought that the opinion was precious, accepted it with an open mind, and changed it in later books. ”
As can be seen in other articles of The Light of the Season, the "one student" in this article is the Light of the Season himself. He once wrote an article mentioning that after listening to the book, he took the initiative to ask Wang Shaotang if he had seen a real tiger, and whether Wu Song had killed too many people. As a result, Wang Shaotang was very appreciative of him, and every day he was given a seat, including the cost of making tea, which was paid by Wang Shaotang.
Is such a thing real? Some people in the music industry also said that the adaptation of "Blood Splashed Mandarin Duck Tower" was not out of the suggestion of Ji Zhiguang. However, Ji Zhiguang has heard Wang Shaotang's books and has made contacts, leaving a story of forgetting his friendship, which is still certain. Reporter Wang Xin
