Generational division is a relatively special existence in the cross-talk industry, and only cross-talk attaches so much importance to teacher inheritance and generational division. For the reasons why it attaches the most importance to generational division, there are only two aspects:
The first is the historical factor, cross-talk is an extremely narrow art, which does not allow outsiders to come. There are fans of Peking Opera, have you ever heard of cross-talk fans? There is no way to gain a foothold in the industry without a mentor, and the situation has not improved until recent decades.
The second is the inheritance factor, which is believed to be more scientific than the teacher-student system, and the inheritance of things is more close; at the same time, the existence of the teacher inheritance is an important link and standard for maintaining the relationship between cross-talk.
Cross-talk is so important, the entanglement around it has also emerged.
The ceremony of receiving teachers and apprentices from the elderly children is often hindered by their peers, and even the authorities are not spared. For example, when Tian Lihe visited Zhang Shouchen (the head of the Shou zi generation), he "forced" Zhang Shou to guarantee that he would no longer accept apprentices before giving up.
This is also the same today, like the young horse master in Tianjin does not accept apprentices, the reason is that once the mountain gate is opened, the fluctuations and barriers caused by it are certainly not small. In order to avoid these things, he did not embarrass his peers, so Shao Ma Ye only taught students and did not accept apprentices.
Cross-talk generations are so important, there are naturally many things to climb, and jumping to worship the elders is not only common in the cross-talk industry, let's not mention it for the time being.
The most famous thing about jumping to the door to worship the elders is He Yunwei's worship of Hou Yaohua, who became a Ming dynasty and called Guo Degang a brother and a brother, but this matter was full of storms in the city.
Of course, the worship ceremony could not be held in the end because He Yunwei's father, Liu Hongyi, stopped it. The specific reasons are very complicated, but the most important reason is that a head is on the ground, a day as a teacher, a lifelong father, and the things that deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors cannot be done.
Since there are those who take the initiative to jump the generation, there are also those who descend their own generations.
The most representative of this is Chen Yongquan of the Baozi generation. Mr. Lao once partnered with Li Jindou to create classic works such as "Wusong Fighting Tiger" and "New Night Travel", which were famous for a while, but they did not know that Mr. Lao had also stayed in the Shouzi generation.
This has to mention the old man's father, Chen Zizhen, who is Enxu's apprentice, and Enxu is Ma Sanli's grandfather, so if you talk about it from this aspect, Ma Sanli and Chen Yongquan should be of equal generation. Because of the early death of his father, Chen Yongquan later worshiped under Tan Boru and became an artist of the Baozi generation.
In his later years, Ma Sanli also said: I am the only one left in my generation, which is considered to be Chen Yongquan's generation.
Another representative of the active demotion is Yu Qian's master ancestor, who now lives up to the prestige of GaoJiamen. In the Allegro industry, Gao Fengshan has become a family of its own, known as "Gao Pai" in history, and has many disciples. In the cross-talk gate, Gao Fenglao undertook Gao Deming. Father Gao Wenyuan and master Feng Kunzhi are both remarkable figures.
From the perspective of the relationship between teachers and teachers, Mr. Gao Fengshan should be the "Shou" generation, but why did he demote himself to the baozi generation? There are two ways to say this:
The first theory is that since the generation of master Gao Deliang, the Gao family brothers are young and young, and it is not easy to make friends with their peers, so Gao Deliang has turned to lu Dejun, an artist of the German generation, as a teacher and became a Shouzi generation.
The second theory is that Gao Fengshan belongs to the "serial descendant", entering the cross-talk door from the allegro gate, in order to more conveniently communicate with peers, he demoted himself to a generation, and worshiped Zhang Shoulao as a dry father, and then the apprentices also followed the predecessors to descend.
Also taking the initiative to descend was Mr. Tian Lihe, for reasons that are completely different from those we mentioned earlier. Tian Lihe's wife, Zhang Wenxia, is a literal generation, so there is a name for husband and wife, but it is the embarrassment of the uncle and nephew when it comes to seniority.
Tian Lihe had obtained the consent of Zhang Shoulao and demoted himself to a generation, but in fact Tian Lihe did not demote himself, but only reached a verbal alliance with several brothers, and Mr. Tian's apprentice was a literal generation and no one questioned.
It is undeniable that the cross-talk industry attaches great importance to generations and has also become a reason for the deformed development of this industry. Today, some actors move out of the name of Master and Master on the stage, but it seems light.
