More than a hundred years ago in Hangzhou, there was live streaming with goods.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a person in Hangzhou named Du Baolin. Go out early every morning and carry a load of goods. When he saw a crowded place, he stopped, pulled over a stool, stood on the stool, pulled out a small gong, and sang while clanging.
When the shopping groceries listened, some people sang, and the story they sang was funny, and there were meat and vegetables, and everyone happily came around.
During the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court would publish a newspaper every day, called the Chao Bao. Most of us are illiterate, and who can understand this stuff. Du Baolin made up and sang the imperial newspaper, and by the way, sometimes satirized a few words of the imperial court. In order to avoid getting into trouble, Du Baolin said in advance that I was hot-headed and dizzy, singing casually, and the police uncle was not allowed to arrest me. As a result, Du Baolin had a nickname called Little Hot Dim.
Du Baolin is a marketing master, halfway through singing, he will jump off the stool, open the burden he picked, and say, dear fathers and fellow countrymen, hold the scene, come to some pear paste candy, cough and phlegm, don't just look at the advertisement to see the curative effect. Sold a lap and continued to sell singing.
Du Baolin was so hot that someone recorded one of his performances. On that day, Du Baolin was seen standing on a stool and singing, and the audience was three floors outside and three floors, and Mao estimated that there were thousands of people. The man also recorded details, saying that there were men and women, old and young, some looking like village girls, some looking like heavenly immortals, all with their mouths open, listening stupidly.
Later, his form of street stall performance was called small hot dim.
By the way, look at the pear paste candy, this thing story is also very colorful.
It is said that the famous Tang Dynasty scolded Li Shimin's Wei Zheng every day, and one day, his old mother coughed. Wei Zheng's mother refused to drink the medicine, and when she drank it, she threw up, so that the doctors sent by Li Shimin could not do anything. Still Wei Zheng started to use his little brain, he thought that his mother liked desserts, so he ground the Chinese herbs into powder, and then added the juice of the pear to it, boiled it slowly, boiled it, boiled it into a sticky little ball, dried it, became a large piece of sugar, and took a knife to cut it into small pieces.
Wei Zheng's mother took a look, there was such a warm medicine, smiling and catching it to eat, once she ate it, she became addicted, ate for a few days, coughed and disappeared, she couldn't breathe, and her legs and feet were flexible.
The imperial doctor sent by Li Shimin had already secretly learned it. But such a beloved medicine has no name, and later someone made a clever move and called it pear paste candy. Today, in Hefang Street in Hangzhou, there are still people selling.
After Du Baolin became popular, during the Republic of China period, there was a big world playground by the West Lake, and Mr. Du also entered the theater to perform, the appearance fee was quite high, of course, there was no need to pick up live broadcasts in the wind and rain.
Today, Xiao Hot has become a national non-cultural heritage, pear paste candy has become the intangible cultural heritage of Hangzhou, and Hangzhou Tianyitang Pear Paste Sugar Factory, which specializes in the production of pear paste candy, has also become a time-honored brand in China.
It is not very good to hear these names, since it is an intangible cultural heritage, which means that if it is not rescued, it will be lost, and the Chinese time-honored brand has almost no particularly prosperous business.
