You Have to Be Elegant

In the past, if you listened to your husband's reading, you must be careful not to get up too early. In the past, storytellers did not go there early in the morning, unless it was for the "underground business" of Tianqiao. Usually it is in the afternoon or evening, and the afternoon performance is the official performance. Of course, there are also those who are earlier than this, called "shuo bench leader", or "zao'er" in jargon. There is also a performance at night, that one is called "Leng Wan'er". As the name suggests, in the past when electric lights were not widely available, oil lamp bowls were lit when it was too late. In the past, there were even audiences sitting on the stage listening! For example, sometimes when a distinguished audience comes, it's not appropriate to sit in the audience, so just sit on the stage! Stay three to five steps away from the actors, move a chair and watch from there. So, at that time, in addition to the actors in costumes, there were twenty or thirty audience members in casual clothes on the stage. It was normal! By the way, everyone will enjoy listening to these things we are talking about here. What cross talk says is, "If you don't understand it crookedly, you won't be able to laugh at it." You can't watch it as a documentary, as that would violate the principle of happiness!
