Jiangnan region is rich in products, there are many literati, people will have a higher pursuit and desire for culture and art when they have no worries about food and clothing, and the evaluation bomb is conceived on such a side of the water and soil, Wu Nong's soft words are eloquent, nine turns and three times the sound of warblers, it sounds like a quiet and comfortable art form.
The life of Jiangnan people is closely related to pingtan
There are many folk music in the Jiangnan area, and pingtan and folk music are intermingled relationships, and some songs or music in many old movies and TV series in the past are similar to pingdan tunes. For example, like the movie "Road Angel", which was popular all over the country, the theme song "Tianya Song Girl" sung by the famous actor Zhou Xuan is similar to the "Good Scenery of Jiangnan" that we want to listen to, and some of the tunes of the commentary are also popular music in the Jiangnan region that year.

II. The "Tune" of the Commentary
There are a total of twenty-four performance vocals, because pingtan belongs to the rap art, which is the category of music art, and because the pronunciation characteristics of Suzhou dialect are good, it is generally called "tune" rather than "pie". The art of judging bombs has the greatest influence on future generations and has the widest scope of dissemination is the "Jiang Tune" founded by Mr. Jiang Yuequan, who borrowed from the vocal methods of Peking Opera, saying that the official is right, the chapters are correct, the speech is meticulous and clear, the language is elegant and condensed, the humor is subtle, the performance is dashing and evocative, the playing and singing are pleasant, the voice is rich, and he has become the most prestigious person in the book world.

III. Commenting on the "Branches and Leaves" of the Bomb in Shanghai
Since the 1920s at the beginning of the last century, the art center of Pingtan has shifted from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Shanghai, which is also a "Wu-speaking area". Because of the rapid economic development after the opening of Shanghai, the people's spiritual and cultural needs have soared, and the art form of pingtan is simple and flexible, and one or two people can support a play, so many pingtan artists have come to Shanghai to make a living, and their income has also been greatly improved. And because of the high openness and development of Shanghai at that time, the dissemination and revenue of the art of appraisal also had a richer model, forming a complete industrial chain of "bookstore, radio, church meeting, and record".

Some of the reviews published that year
This popular model of "online + offline" combination at that time also allowed the rapid development of the commentary. In the past, the genre of pingtan singing was relatively simple, and the chanting tone of Jiangnan people reading was slightly richer, which was the singing cavity of pingtan, but after arriving in Shanghai, various literary and artistic ecology competed with each other, and elements such as folk music and Western music gradually began to affect the singing method of pingtan, and people's taste preferences were gradually enriched.
