"Whether or not to know is the only criterion for judging the inheritance of cross-talk masters, without knowing is not a master and apprentice", Guo Degang once responded to the pendulum knowledge of the cross-talk industry, and Hou Yaowen, as Guo Degang's teacher, has also said in public many times: Guo Degang is the only one who really knows and worships the master. In fact, Hou Yaowen and Guo Degang's statement is mainly to clear up the relationship between Yang Zhigang and Guo Degang, but if it is according to Guo Degang's statement, then many famous cross-talk artists, including his partner Yu Qian, may also become "Haiqing".
The custom of praying to the master in the cross-talk circle has a long history, and the pendulum is to put it out to let everyone know, when the pendulum is known, not only the three masters of the introduction of the Bao Dynasty, but also the invitation to the peers to the scene, the introduction: This is my apprentice, please pay more attention, the apprentices kowtow to the elders, recognized the portal, Ma Sanli recalled in his later years, Zhao Xinmin and Su Wenmao, who were low in generations, prostrated their heads and fainted.
After liberation, the custom of worshiping teachers and pendulum knowledge was gradually abolished, replaced by the relationship between students and teachers in the new era, the most typical is the relationship between Ma Ji and Hou Baolin, and in the mid-to-late 80s, the worship of teachers and pendulum knowledge gradually recovered, such as Ma Zhiming and Hou Yaowen, both of whom were worshippers of Dai La, and also held the ceremony of pendulum, but it is certain that this is definitely not a necessary condition for the worship of teachers in the cross-talk world, such as Jiang Kun, Feng Gong, Xiao Lin, Yu Qian and other people have not worshipped teachers.
Guo Degang and Hou Yaowen's views are nothing more than family words, mainly because both of them have held a ceremony to worship the master, and Guo Degang said this, nothing more than not wanting to recognize Yang Zhigang's status as a master, but it is undeniable that most of Guo Degang's abilities are taught by Yang Zhigang, in Yang Zhigang's words: Guo Degang's abilities are all taught by me, I dare to say, Hou Yaowen has not taught him a word.
