Xiangsheng Kao 133: Tian Lihe of the Xiangsheng family "Jiaojiamen"
Tian Lihe, born in Tianjin in 1935, was formerly known as Tanaka Min, a disciple of Zhang Shouchen.
Tian Lihe practiced medicine in the past, and his father Tian Baochen was a famous Chinese medicine doctor in Tianjin Wei. Tian Lihe played a small followed his father to learn medicine, recited soup songs, and had Xiao Cheng. If you follow the family's arrangement, maybe Tianjin Wei has another famous TCM doctor, after all, he practiced medicine with his father when he was 15 years old, Tian Baochen diagnosed the pulse, and Tian Lihe prescribed medicine. Some people's lives often do not move forward steadily according to the arrangements of their parents, but they will deviate in the middle and develop in another direction. From the bottom of his heart, Tanaka he did not want to be a famous doctor, he liked crosstalk and vowed to become a generation of cross-talk masters. Tian Lihe later said that he liked crosstalk, which was influenced by his grandmother, who was rich and idle, and his grandmother loved to watch plays and listen to crosstalk, and every time she listened to crosstalk, she always loved to take Tian Lihe with her. Tian Lihe's idea of learning cross-talk shocked a large group of people in the Tian family, but fortunately the Tian family was open-minded, and finally, in 1951, under the leadership of Tian Baochen, the 16-year-old Tian Lihe's father, he visited Zhang Shouchen and successfully worshiped under Zhang Shouchen. This year, Zhang Shouchen was already 52 years old and had long ceased to accept apprentices. It is also said that Tian Lihe worshiped Zhang Shouchen in 1953, but this worshipper is a commentator.
In fact, as early as when Zhang Shouchen was collecting Ye Lizhong and Yu Shide's two apprentices, he declared that he would not accept apprentices again; however, in the face of the request of his old friend Tian Baochen and the eager eyes of Tian Lihe, Zhang Shouchen still broke the vow not to accept disciples and accepted Tanaka He as a closed disciple.
Tanaka was a full 20 years younger than Liu Baorui, and in that era, it was completely two generations. Therefore, most of the older generations will not easily accept apprentices in their old age, because some people are reluctant to do so. Let a person as old as a son call himself a master brother, Liu Baorui felt awkward, and Zhang Shouchen naturally knew this. Tian Lihe said in an interview with the Express reporter that his enlightenment teacher was Chang Baokun, and the first thing he heard was Chang Baokun's cross-talk. It is said that Tian Lihe worshiped the master, Tian Baochen first looked for Yang Shaokui, and later looked for Ma Sanli, and the third looked for Fu Shouyan, under the recommendation of Fu Shouyan, Tian Lihe worshiped Zhang Shouchen.
Sure enough, after Tian Lihe visited Zhang Shouchen, it was as if he had thrown a square stone into the calm water, and the cross-talk circle immediately set off an uproar. Peers are wrongdoers, and the cross-talk circle is particularly obvious. The closed disciple of Zhang Shouchen, the fifth generation of cross-talk leaders, naturally became the sixth generation of the cross-talk circle and belonged to the Baozi generation. However, however, however, in 1951, this year, the entire cross-talk circle has developed to the eighth generation, according to the rules of the cross-talk circle, on the generations of the cross-talk circle, before Tian Lihe entered the seventh and eighth generation of cross-talk artists, if you see Tian Lihe, you must also respectfully shout a master, or master, which makes these people feel bad? Therefore, these cross-talk artists of the older generation and the younger generations have found Zhang Shouchen and asked Zhang Shouchen to take back his life and not take Tian Lihe as an apprentice, or let Tian Lihe worship under Zhang Shouchen's disciples. Xue Yongnian, born in 1941, won the first place in the Tianjin Children's Cross-Talk Performance Competition in 1956. Zhang Shouchen saw that this talented teenager liked it very much and wanted to take it as an apprentice, and the two sides had already agreed. But three days later, Zhang Shouchen repented. In fact, it is not Zhang Shouchen who repents, it is the people around Zhang Shouchen who strongly discourage it, because Xue Yongnian is 6 years younger than Tian Lihe. Seeing that everyone around him was opposed, Zhang Shouchen could only repent. Xue Yongnian's father led Xue Yongnian to worship Zhang Shouchen as his teacher, and Zhang Shouchen said with a difficult face that he could not accept Xue Yongnian, and recommended Xue Yongnian to his apprentice Zhu Xiangchen. Zhu Xiangchen followed his master's instructions, carefully taught, and taught Xue Yongnian all the skills of housekeeping. Unexpectedly, Xue Yongnian worshiped under Han Zikang in 1961 and became a Shouzi artist. However, Xue Yongnian also knew the harm of people and juniors, and he interacted with his peers in writing, often saying that Zhu Xiangchen was his teacher. It seems that Tian Lihe worshiped Zhang Shouchen, and the impact on Zhang Shouchen was not small, but Zhang Shouchen still went his own way, but unfortunately in the end he did not dare to break up with his peers.
Back to Tian Lihe's worship of Zhang Shouchen. Zhang Shouchen, as the head of the Shouzi generation, was quite prestigious in the cross-talk circle at that time, but even so, many people said that he should not take Tian Lihe as an apprentice, and even some people came to the door to ask for guilt, and Zhang Shouchen was annoyed. Zhang Shouchen later reflected, is there more people complaining behind it? Is provoking public anger not conducive to Tian Lihe's future development? Did he really take Tian Lihe as an apprentice and do it wrong? Zhang Shouchen became suffering from gain and loss, and began to be uneasy.
What to do, what to do? Zhang Shouchen asked several big men in the cross-talk circle for advice, and in the end, he made an unexpected decision: he invited his disciple Fu Shouyan to his home, and then asked Tian Lihe to kowtow to Fu Shouyan. Fu Shouyan was very puzzled and asked, "Brother Master, you are asking me to take Tian Lihe as an apprentice, what do I teach him?" Fu Shouyan was Zhang Shouchen's disciple and had always been obedient to Zhang Shouchen. Zhang Shouchen said, "If you want to receive it, you will receive it." Tian Lihe prostrated his head, and Zhang Shouchen said: "If everyone is angry, it is difficult for Lihe to stand." You have also confiscated your apprentices, and according to the rules, you should not be extinct. Li He gave you a kowtow, and after that, he will be your apprentice, and no one else will be satisfied, nor can he say anything. As for the ability to teach Lihe, it is still up to me. "Zhang Shouchen came to a dark Chen Cang, or did he come to a flower transfer, or came to hang a sheep's head to sell dog meat?" It cannot be said that Zhang Shouchen took pains for tian Lihe.
The news that Tian Lihe had turned to Fu Shouyan as a teacher was deliberately released by Zhang Shouchen, and sure enough, the people who had previously held opposing views no longer objected, and only a few of them asked Zhang Shouchen in person: "Whose apprentice is Li He?" Zhang Shouchen asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" The person came: "Since Li He is a disciple of Fu Shouyan, why did he follow you to learn?" Zhang Shouchen smiled: "Haha, I am not conservative!" You learn from me, I teach too! ”
What is unexpected is that Zhang Shouchen planned a large-scale worship ceremony in 1953, in which Tian Lihe was actually tian Lihe among the disciples of the master, but this time he worshiped the master with the disciples of the Commentary Gate and worshiped under the Zhang Shouchen Commentary. Zhang Shouchen gave Tian Lihe the stage name Tian Cunhe according to the generations of the commentaries, and together they worshiped Zhang Cunyuan and Tong Dafang under the commentaries. Tong Dafang later accepted an apprentice named Zhang Wenshun, Zhang Wenshun accepted an apprentice named Xu Deliang, after Xu Deliang left the Deyun Society, Zhang Wenshun asked another apprentice, Zhang Dewu, to speak for himself, fired Xu Deliang, and withdrew the word "de". Later, Zhang Dewu also left the Deyun Society, and only Deng Deyong was left as Zhang Wenshun's disciple of the Deyun Society. Zhang Wenshun is one of the three elders of the Deyun Society. At present, the backstage of the Deyun Society still provides a portrait of Zhang Wenshun.
Zhang Shouchen's series of divine operations stunned his cross-talk circle peers, but the wood had become a boat, and everyone had to pinch their noses and recognize it. However, after this series of events, Zhang Shouchen also understood that many things were not how he wanted to come. He warned Tian Lihe: "What is important is to study well and live well, it is not important to divide generations, and in the future we must have a good relationship with everyone, and we must not climb big." "Alas, this world is like this, not because you are old, not because you live well, not because you are the doormaster, you can cover the sky with one hand."
It is said that parents love Qi'er, and as a closed disciple, Tian Lihe is deeply loved by Zhang Shouchen. Moreover, Tian Lihe and Zhang Shouchen are in Tianjin together, and the two have very convenient contacts. Tian Lihe listened a lot, learned more, and knew a lot, which can be described as Zhang Shouchen's cross-talk art scripture.
Tian Lihe has a nickname called "African Rat", it is said that when Tian Lihe's partner Wang Wenyu said "Wife and Son", Wang Wenyu said Tian Lihe: "You look like that African imported big rat!" Subsequently, "African rats" became synonymous with Tian Lihe. Similar to this nickname is "Guo Sanyuan", Guo Rongqi's partner Zhu Xiangchen said that "The Theory of Playing Cards" is very exciting, so there is a "Guo Sanyuan" elegant name.
Tian Lihe worshiped under Zhang Shouchen and was trained by Zhang Shouchen, the cross-talk overlord, and his level improved rapidly. In 1952, he was already talking to Zhang Wenxia on the same scene. This same scene also had the same feelings, and the two later married. At that time, even if it was free love, it was necessary to find an intermediary, and this intermediary was Ren Mingqi; Tian Lihe and Zhang Wenxia were married in 1962, when Tian Lihe was 27 years old. Tian Lihe is the Baozi generation, Zhang Wenxia is the character generation, and the cross-talk circle colleagues have seen what to call these two people? Each one is called according to each other. However, Tian Lihe's apprentice saw Zhang Wenxia and still wanted to call Shi Niang. Zhang Wenxia's teacher Chengwu Kuihai; Zhang Wenxia's father Zhang Peiru is also a cross-talk actor, and his teacher inherits Li Shouzeng. It is said that Zhang Peiru is also a disciple of Jiao Jiamen.

In 1956, at the age of 21, Tian Lihe joined the Nankai District Cross-Talk Team.

Tian Lihe is one of the old cross-talk artists of the Baozi generation who are still alive at present, and has a fairly high reputation in the folk. Some people commented that he was "the glory of holding up crosstalk alone".
Old Master Tian had a granddaughter named Tian Pei, and Old Master Tian asked him to join the Qilin Drama Club of the Deyun Society. In a sense, Old Master Tian stood for the Deyun Society.
