During the former Qing Dynasty, the street talk in Beiping and the remarks of the old treasurers outside the front door always talked about how good Zhang Erkui, Cheng Changgeng, and Yu Sansheng were, and when tan Xinpei was mentioned, everyone despised him, saying that he sang delicately and did not show up. What is the reason for this? Because the tone of Zhang, Cheng, and Yu was solemn, such as the tone sung by Wang Guifen, Xu Yintang, Sun Juxian, etc., to Go to Gu Shangjin, to Tan Xinpei's tone, it changed to flexible and brisk, and at that time, the old audience was accustomed to listening to the old one, and suddenly changed the ear tone, of course, it was not approveable.
Besides, there is a kind of conservative person, his thoughts, no matter what is good, is the old good, and there is another kind of person who also calls himself by this, except that he has seen Zhang, Cheng, and Yu, and has not seen it. In fact, everything must change over time. Moreover, Xin Pei's study of the cavity tone is very fine, and the "flash plate", "catch the plate", "stacking board" and other places are more exquisite than before, but his cavity, many of which are changed by the cavity of the Dan foot, so there are more places that are melodious, which can be regarded as his benefit, and it can also be said that it is not to let the ancients, why attack him?

This is said again, but before the thirty years of the Republic of China, most people's arguments were mostly about Lao Tan, as if it were not the voice of Lao Tan, even if it was not the voice of Lao Tan, this kind of opinion was also unavoidable. This is a problem with the opinions of the old treasurers in the early years of Guangxu, and now when they come to Taiwan, most people respect Yu Shuyan again.
In short, the tone of singing is best to talk about rhyme, do not talk about bends, sing so as to express the mood, the so-called long words are insufficient, then sigh. The rhyme can show the mood, the bend is absolutely not, no matter how good the singing is, the meaning of the song has nothing to do with it. Therefore, Western musicians say that once singing pays attention to bending, it will fall behind and will be destroyed, which is not bad at all. During the Tongzhi period and the early years of Guangxu, it was Zhang Erkui and Cheng Changgeng when they were at their most popular, and they were heavy in charm, and when Tan Xinpei and Long Changsheng defeated them, they turned heavily. This is also an important reason why the old treasurers looked down on him.
However, although the Tan cavity is trivial, it is not as much as the bending of the foot cavity. Once talking to Chen Delin about this matter, Delin said, what is the matter with Dan's feet except coughing? Happy to say. Although the feet are inseparable from the cough, it was much less than now.

One more thing to add, how did the old treasurers talk about it earlier, according to the old treasurers, they are all in business, not specializing in drama, why do what they say have such value? There's a reason for this, too.
In the past, the garden of drama was acting, the more elegant people watched the play on both sides, and the wider one was upstairs, as for the front of the stage, it was the best place at present, and in the past it was the most brutal piece, this place was commonly called the pool, and the people who watched the play in this place were all five elements and eight works, there were more people in the industrial circles, and there were many business people, but they were all sugar shops, rice noodle shops, old rice shops, wood, iron goods, machine rooms, guest houses, and other sidewalks, and they were crowded and not clean. Summer is all bareback, it can be said that it is a group of rude people.

But it has the most to do with the applause of the people in this area, as soon as they are all applauded, the actors can sing red, if they do not applaud, only rely on the people on both sides to applaud, it is boring, and useless. This is also the case now, if the spectators in front of the stage are not applauded, they cannot become good feet, and most of the people who listened to the drama in the pool at that time were apprentices, and the highest was only the third treasurer, and the discussion they usually listened to was of course their treasurer, and most of them were Shandong people, so the discussion of the treasurer of Shandong trading could be discussed. If they approve of the color of their feet, their disciples must approve of it. At that time, the Shandong gang accounted for a large part of the business in Beiping, and its power was already very large. Coupled with the people who carry water, the people who deliver newspapers, the people who dig up the dung, the people who grind the rice house, the people who grind the house, the people who grind the noodles (commonly known as the grinder and the mill official), etc., all the people who sell their strength are all Shandong people, and these people are of course based on the words of the old treasurer of the same village, so the old treasurer's discussion of drama is very powerful, so the actors are also quite afraid of them.
