Receiving apprentices in the cross-talk gate, it is said to be preaching for the grandfather in the big place, so that this craft can be passed on; to the small place, it is said that the transition of the cross-talk actor from learning art to passing on the art is also the transformation of identity and role. Opening the mountain gate to receive apprentices marks the maturity of the actor's own artistic level, and to put it bluntly, his own ability is qualified to preach and teach. With the passage of time, the old man gradually faded out of the stage, and the disciples who had been accepted in that year also had their own apprentices. At this point, as a master, it is time to consider that it is time to close the mountain gate.
If you also recruit disciples, your own portal will have to be messed up. Because it is inevitable that the newly acquired apprentices will start later than the disciples, and if they enter the door and become uncles, there will inevitably be a small number of people who will stand up against it. So when the time came, the master had to close the disciples. It is not only an explanation for the apprentices and disciples, but also a summary of their own artistic career. In the eyes of peers, the performance level of the closed disciples also reflects the master's artistic achievements from the side. Therefore, it is particularly important to accept who is a closed disciple and when to receive it. The old saying of famous teachers and high disciples applies to all kinds of music and art categories, and cross-talk is naturally no exception. The more famous the teacher, the more difficult it is to "close the door". Today, let's take stock with the closed disciples of the xiangsheng door name.
In the cross-talk industry, there has long been a saying that "no sect is not a horse", as a representative figure of Ma's cross-talk, there are many people who want to worship Ma Sanye as a teacher. In 1985, at the age of 71, Ma Sanli officially accepted Chang Baofeng as a closed disciple under the witness of his peers in the qu art world. Since then, Third Master Ma has not made an exception until his death in 2003. At that time, everyone thought that Jiu Ye was the last apprentice that Ma Lao had received before he died, but five years later, Ma Shi Xiangsheng added a new Ding. In 2008, under the supervision of Jiang Kun and others, an 81-year-old Li Wenhua was held in Tianjin to worship the master, and the master was Ma Sanli, the cross-talk master. Although Ma Lao was many years old when he visited the master, the two of them had already made a covenant of oral covenants and established a master-apprentice relationship in the exchange of letters in 1981. In this way, Chang Baofeng, who was originally a closed disciple, has also had one more "little disciple" since then.
On July 8, 1984, Master Hou Baolin received Shengjie as an apprentice in Qingdao. In the audience's impression, Shi Shengjie is also a well-known closed disciple. But interestingly, this "door" is not closed. It was not that the master reopened the mountain gate, but that the master brother accepted the disciple with him. In 2016, Mr. Hou's senior disciple, Mr. Jia Zhenliang, accepted the 85-year-old Dong Fengtong as a disciple of The Leader. He was 22 years older than the "closed disciple" Shi Shengjie.
Although Mr. Hou did not have a verbal agreement when he was alive, it was also due to the background of the times and organizational arrangements at that time, and he had been unable to fulfill his wish. However, in Dong Fengtong's heart, he had already planted the belief that Non-Hou Baolin would not worship. Dong Fengtong, who had taught the truth and had no name of master and apprentice, finally entered the Houmen as he wished 23 years after his master's death.
Compared with the two great xiangsheng families of Ma and Hou, the disciples of the Chang family are particularly special. As the founding ancestor of Chang's cross-talk, Chang Lian'an only accepted one apprentice, which can be said to be both a top door disciple and a closed door disciple, and he is Gao Yuanjun who sings The Shandong Quick Book. Even so, Gao Yuanjun's worship of master could only be regarded as a coincidence, and originally even An had never touched the idea of receiving disciples. What's going on?
In 1949, Gao Yuanjun came to Tianjin to perform, when he found Mr. Chang Lian'an. Lao Changye had heard of his Shandong Kuaishu and had a good feeling for him personally, so he offered to take him as a son. However, Gao Yuanjun did not think so, he said directly: "I said that Xiangsheng did not have a master, and I came to you to worship the master." "Originally, I didn't want to take in apprentices, but since they all proposed it, even An couldn't refuse." Yizi became a disciple, and Gao Yuanjun became the apprentice of Changjiamen's "Lonely Branch".
It was indeed not easy to become a closed disciple of a famous master, and even a generation of grandmaster Zhang Shouchen wanted to reopen the mountain gate to accept the little apprentice Tian Lihe, and under pressure, Shou Ye first let the beloved disciple bypass his own master and disciple, and then took the initiative to worship his brother with the literati. After several twists and turns, Mr. Tian Lihe was able to count as a disciple of Shi Shou Lao's closed door.
Until 2016, Mr. Tian adopted Chang Baoqing as a disciple of The Belt, which was considered to be a "closed disciple" and surrendered. There is a way that "the top door is easy, the door is difficult to close". But then again, whether a disciple or not is a closed disciple has nothing to do with personal artistic attainment. Since you have entered the famous door, you should continue to improve your art industry towards the goal of being blue and blue.
