Counting the 8 characters that have been played in front of you, in the end, there are only two Zanni in the 10-person group, usually the plot gives the character setting of "Zanni", most of them are from the countryside, more shrewd servants, or homeless people, or the image of liars, the purpose of which is to make the plot easier and more witty and more tense through their strange and funny performances in the play.

Isn't there something missing, Joker. Harlequin, as agreed, is actually a character of Zanni in comedy, and servants as Pierrot's prototype are also part of Zanni's character. The lawyer in Piero in the Criminal Court is also a character of Zanni, known as Brighella, with distinctive costumes and swords, as well as a mask to form the character. In addition, there are other characters with fixed character performance characteristics that are summarized as Zanni. Even the aforementioned maid, as the plot requires, will have an inextricable relationship with Zanni, often emotionally intertwined with Zanni, who plays the role of a servant.

Whether the situation of Zanni's role sub-decoration is compared with the "Shengxing" in Peking Opera, in the "Shengxing" there are old students, small students, martial students, and doll students, etc., it seems that no matter where people are, in the logic of artistic creation, subconsciously with consistency. In this way, do you understand what June said, Pierrot is not a clown, but an ordinary person with a lot of ugly appearances in life, not a professional ugly person. The contrast between the servant and the clown's vague social role is equally ridiculous, except that he is not nonsensical or physically entertaining, and he has certain social relations to pave the way.

The clown's relationship with Zanni is like the relationship between jade and jade, jade is jade, but jade is not jade. The Joker is Zanni, but Zanni is not a Joker.

Pierrot broke through the stereotypes of the servant role, had a name, and became a vivid character that people remember. It feels like people who stand out from the word "internet celebrity" today and can call out so-and-so, rather than being called that clown, that Zanni, that old student, or that internet celebrity. Due to Pierrot's living environment, the struggle for social orientation, in a certain period, became the image representative of ordinary people, with its own halo of Pierrot, thus growing as a cultural phenomenon and life mapping throughout Europe.
Piero Pablo Picasso 1918 Partial
With people's deeper attention to Pierrot, since then it has a position that can be on a par with the figures of Don Juan and other figures, occupying a place of vitality on the theatrical stage. Past painters are also keen to freeze the image of Piero into the frame with a momentary posture on the stage, becoming what people think will always be. Redon, Renoir, Chagall, Cézanne, Picasso, etc., too many people have works on related subjects, and more painters paint self-portraits with his figurative characteristics.

Pierrot is not a man, he has become a symbol. However, it is only a symbol. People who like the new and hate the old, who seem to be full of creativity, change with the times and change their lives, will also elect symbols that are more in line with the times. However, Pierrot can still be found in some areas of Europe today, in some activities.
