More than a hundred years ago, Tianjin Huayang mixed and mixed with hundreds of lines, and the largest proportion of nature was still poor. The so-called five elements and eight works have their own ways, and it is also more difficult to open a new business.
Cross-talk, a kind of "play art" that only existed in the late Qing Dynasty, was far from becoming a climate in the early years of the Republic of China, and it still could not be on the table, and it was a craft of poor people running the rivers and lakes.
To run the rivers and lakes, there must be rules for running the rivers and lakes, and you must also listen to the orders of the so-called "jianghu people".
In particular, Tianjin's green-skinned were a force that was a headache for officials, so most of the cross-talk artists at that time were bullied and oppressed by.
For example, cross-talk masters Ma Sanli and Liu Baorui were not only exploited and blackmailed, but also asked to join the Green Gang.
The big and small went to the performance venue to check, frightening Ma Sanli and Liu Baorui for several days in a row, and they saw that they could not open the pot. Someone advised them: "Let's get in!" Why don't you eat with your mouth? Third Master Ma said, "I can't be a bastard, how can I use my hard-earned money to honor these villains?" ”
Later, one day, Liu Baorui found Ma Sanli and said, "Third Uncle, I can't stand it, we have to make money, I tell you what the Qinggang 'Qingshui Wrist' and 'Muddy Water Wrist' mean." He began to speak, the black words in the green gang, and he memorized them well. Ma Sanli asked, "Did you join?" Liu Baorui quietly pulled out the "Tongcao" about the rules of the Green Gang: "I did not join, but I got a book from a bastard, the black words were memorized, there is no problem in talking to them, this book is for you, you can also memorize it." Sanli said: "You are single, Lu Feng'er can run, my family, do not let people raid the house?" You stay in Tianjin! I go out of town. ”
In this way, the two broke up, and Ma Sanli and Gao Shaoting went to the field to "go to the cave". Unexpectedly, Liu Baorui, who pretended to be a Green Gang, was still proud at first, posing as a hero who went deep into the tiger's den, and it didn't take long for the to see through it, and they were beaten violently, and then they escaped this disaster after master Zhang Shouchen spent money to intercede. At this time, Liu Baorui also "smashed": "I am also a hero when I am beaten, because I did not join after all." ”
So what is the black talk that Liu Baorui learned?
Since it is called black language, it is naturally not the kind of big vernacular that we ordinary people say on weekdays. This is a set of terminology used by secret organizations with a mafia nature in the old society and even in the localities of today, and it is now confused with lip points and incisions.
For example, joining a gang in the terms used by Tianjin is open shopping, and automatically quitting after joining the gang is closing in.
Being beaten and not fighting back, not shouting pain is called "selling taste", calling friends and helping to do wrong is called "filling the bare stick".
Being beaten and can't bear the pain, the shame is called "planting heels", taking money from the treasure bureau is called "taking hanging money", and shining out the blade of the soldier and calling the other party "shop guy".
Absolutely before, the lottery method is used to decide who will play for his life, which is called "drawing a dead lottery". During the duel, bricks were thrown at each other after the duel, which was called the "Black Flag Team" (Note, in the old society, the old Hedong District of Tianjin was jointly established by He Zhuangzi, Guo Zhuangzi, Shen Zhuangzi, and Zheng Zhuangzi to set up a special train picking organization, which was named after the "Black Flag Team").
The little military attaché is called "boss", the police are called "deputy master", the soldier is called "old rack", the meeting to ask for money is called "meeting gift", the parents can not return the money borrowed in the world, and the parents immediately pursue it as soon as they die.
Killing people without blinking is called hand black, the old predecessors who know each other are called robes and belts, the meal is sitting and sitting, when fighting, do not play cards according to the routine, lose face and call it go to the base, give the cost of the local foot line called over-the-shoulder money, the two sides have a great vendetta against each other and must repay, called death festival.....
In short, at that time, There were many black words in Tianjin Wei, some "terms" had flowed into the folk and become daily words, and there were also fans who liked cross-talk and qu art, and it was also a pleasure to specialize in these "spring points".
