Manifestations of faint due to slight fever

Small heat faint was originally a rap to sing news and publicize commodity advertisements. Many artists cook their own pear toffee and sell it in this rap form. Later, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Du Baolin and other folk artists used obscure and tortuous methods to tell current news and joke stories in the form of newspapers, mostly satirizing the dark phenomenon of society at that time. In order to avoid persecution and trouble, they took the stage name Xiao Ruoyou. Later, it was named Little Heat Faint, which prevailed in the 1920s and 1930s.

Small burn, mostly singing in the open air, is simple in form. A tripod and a bench represent the stage. One or two people build a rap building block with a small gong or a three-clever board. Generally, gong is played to attract the audience, then jokes and news are told, and finally Long song is sung. It should be noted that the narrow sense of "faint with a slight fever" refers to its founder, Du Baolin, who is the prototype of the role of "Du Fulin", an artist selling pear toffee in the comic masterpiece "The Seventy-two Tenants" in Shanghai.
