Crosstalk is a kind of folk art that originated in Beijing. It is generally believed that it evolved from folk jokes during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is an artistic feature that makes people laugh and makes people happy, and uses talking, learning, teasing and singing as its main artistic methods. Performance forms can be divided into stand-up crosstalk (performed by one person), crosstalk (performed by two people), and group crosstalk (performed by three or more people).
