Cross-talk examination 98: Cross-talk family "high gate" Gao Fengshan
Gao Fengshan was born in 1921 in Sanhe City, Hebei Province. Allegro books and cross-talk two-door hugging artists.
Gao Fengshan's life was quite miserable, he became an orphan at the age of 6, his parents and brothers were gone, and he had to beg and wander around, so he wandered to Beijing. In 1928, the 7-year-old Gao Fengshan was adopted by the well-wisher "Cao Mazi" Cao Dekui. Cao Dekui was one of the "Eight Strange Men" of Beijing Tianqiao at that time, counting Noble artists. At that time, the status of the artist was very low, and even if it was temporarily stable, it was still subject to bullying by those scoundrels. Cao Dekui adopted Gao Fengshan and taught him to learn to sing Noble. Gao Fengshan was grateful to Cao Dekui and knew that such a life was not easy to come by, so he was very filial to his master and his wife, and he always rushed to do the chores such as laundry, cooking, and shopping. Cao Dekui was the first nobleman and the first teacher on Gao Fengshan's life path. Gao Fengshan studied art with Cao Dekui for about seven years, and his counting treasure skills were quite solid. After leaving school, Gao Fengshan began to sell art independently, when he was only 14 years old. Now the 14-year-old child is still in junior high school, if he works, the boss does not dare to take it in, because the 14-year-old is a child laborer.
It was because of Cao Dekui that Gao Fengshan met Gao Deliang. After he learned to count the skills of Noble, he worshipped Gao Deliang as his teacher and learned to talk to each other.
In fact, when Gao Fengshan was not yet a teacher, at the age of 10, Gao Fengshan began to sell art with his master. Because of his master's cattle fork, his colleagues when selling art also had cattle forks, including Ma Sanli, Zhu Xiangchen, Luo Rongshou, Sun Baocai and other big coffee; they traveled to Beijing, Tianjin, Tang and other places. There is also a saying that Gao Fengshan had to pay an account to his master Cao Dekui after each performance, and one day in 1935, Gao Fengshan fled Beijing and came to Tianjin because he could not pay the account to his master because he did not earn money. Many people have always questioned this statement, because Gao Fengshan, as an orphan, could not abandon his master who adopted him and taught him the ability to count the treasures. But the truth is that Gao Fengshan did go to Tianjin, and Master Cao Dekui did stay in Beijing, and when Gao Fengshan returned to Beijing again in 1937, he saw that Master Cao Dekui was already very ill. It was Gao Fengshan who paid off the money owed to the hotel to Master Cao Dekui and asked Cao to see a doctor. After Cao Dekui's death, Gao Fengshan hired a car and walked more than fifty miles to send his master back to his hometown daxing Qingyundian for burial.
It is these practices that make Gao Fengshan's skills more mature and gradually become famous. He staged more than 200 Allegro books and counting treasures, and later published the book "Counting Treasures". Of course, Gao Fengshan has not been to school, this book is a collaboration with others, collaborators include Master Gao Deliang, Wang Xueyi and so on.
In 1950, the 29-year-old Gao Fengshan joined the cross-talk improvement group and actively choreographed new songs. He is one of 11 promoters. But his best is still the Allegro book and the number of nobles, he is the first person in the history of allegro to stand up and sing allegro, and he is also the pioneer of the high-school allegro. As a pioneer, it is because it has its own style and characteristics: clear words, playful language, clear rhythm, smooth momentum, compact singing segments, one-stop, and the plate groove is extremely stable and varied. Before Gao Fengshan stood and sang the Allegro book, the old artists all performed on their knees; counting noble is counting noble, and "Allegro" has nothing to do with it. In addition, Gao Fengshan also absorbed the performance techniques and techniques of opera and storytelling, and added content-related actions, which made his counting treasure very different from the previous number of treasures. His "improved" shulaibao was so popular that he created his own piece of music.
In 1951, the first condolence group to North Korea was formed, and 23 people from Beijing's literary and art circles participated in the "Quyi Service Brigade", including Gao Yuanjun, founder of Shandong Kuaishu Gaopai, Hou Baolin, a cross-talk master, and Chang Baokun, a small mushroom, among whom Gao Fengshan was also among them. It was also this time that the little mushroom Chang Baokun was sacrificed in North Korea.
In 1957, the Beijing Quyi Troupe was reorganized, and Gao Fengshan served as the head of the newly formed Beijing Quyi Troupe, and wei Xikui teamed up.
On August 6, 1993, Gao Fengshan died at the age of 72.
On the evening of March 22, 2008, the Beijing Qu Artists Association and the Allegro Salon of Chongwen District Cultural Center jointly held a special performance of "Commemorating Mr. Gao Fengshan, a Generation of Grandmasters" to commemorate the generation of masters Gao Fengshan. In this performance, Li Jindou appeared on the scene. Gao Fengshan is a nobleman of Li Jindou, and when Gao Fengshan led the group back to Beijing Tianqiao to perform, he took the initiative to praise the teenage Li Jindou; after Li Jindou left the stage because he was nervous and forgot to say anything, it was Gao Fengshan who said "Baby, remember?" I want to remember singing two sentences to people! "Let Li Jindou regain confidence and courage."

Gao Fengshan's representative works include "Tongrentang", "Counting Treasures", "Zhuge Liang's Treasure", "Wusong Dadian" and so on.
Gao Fengshan accepted Li Shaojie (Li Xuegui), Lai Baogang, Shi Fukuan (Shi Xueguang), Bi Xuexiang, Chen Xuefu, Cui Qi, Li Xuehong, etc.
The master inheritance of Gao Deming, the second eldest of the Gao family, and Gao Deliang, the third eldest of the Gao family, has always been questioned, and Zhang Shouchen came to the door and let the two brothers take the initiative to descend to the next generation. However, most of the later accounts said that the descendants of the Gao family began with Gao Fengshan, because Gao Fengshan worshiped Zhang Shouchen as a dry father, and Gao Fengshan was then demoted from the Shou zi generation to the Bao Zi generation. Since Gao Fengshan was demoted, his apprentices Cui Qi and Shi Fukuan naturally followed suit, and Shi Fukuan became the literary generation, Shi Fukuan's apprentice Yu Qian became the Ming generation, and Yu Qian became Guo Degang's brother. If he did not demote his generation, Yu Qian's apprentice Guo Qilin would be the Mingzi generation, and he would be the same generation as his father Guo Degang. The reason why Gao Fengshan worshipped Zhang Shouchen as a dry father was to find a patron. It is said that Cao Dekui did not teach Gao Fengshan Chundian, resulting in Gao Fengshan always being bullied by the scoundrels when selling art in Tianjin.
Gao Fengshan has a righteous daughter Guo Shaoqing who is very famous. Guo Shaoqing's grandfather, Guo Wanlin, was an old artist who sang octagonal drums, sold art in Beijing Tianqiao in the early 1900s, and was collectively known as "Du Guo" with his partner Du Zhenfu, and the two also entered the palace to perform for Empress Dowager Cixi. Guo Shaoqing's father, Guo Rongsheng, is a three-string artist, and his mother Ma Xiufeng is a Jingyun drum and allegro artist. Guo Shaoqing had studied Allegro with Gao Fengshan for three years, because he really liked Peking Opera, and it was time to learn Peking Opera.
