What famous humorists were there in ancient times? For example, Dong Fangshuo and Jin Shengtan are both celebrities and geniuses.

Humor belongs to high-grade goods, and it is funny at best when it is out of stock. In ancient times, humor was basically a pastime of literati (of course, it's hard to say if the official sometimes thought it was a pastime), and of course it also needed talent.

There is a saying in the Book of Songs that "be good at joking, not for abuse". Joking is harmless. In the Ming dynasty, there was a set of special jokes, elegant banter, and then there was a laughing forest in the Three Kingdoms period. The word elegant banter feels more accurate and has a humorous meaning, similar to puns in English.

This thing has too much to do with personality. It has a flamboyant personality, high IQ and high IQ, and it is easy to offend people. It is childish when it is old (such as Su Dongpo, such as Jin Shengtan)

Humor masters are often born in an era when the political economy is relatively stable and relaxed (mostly in the middle of the dynasty), otherwise their humor will basically lose their senses (such as Jin Shengtan)

For example, Shi Zhongli became prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty. The famous story is that he went to the emperor's imperial garden to see lions. The master said, "The county magistrate feeds him five catties of meat every day." The same play said, "Aren't we as evil as this lion?" The neutral said, "Of course. Our officials are all foreign ministers, dare to look at the lions in the garden? " (Yuan Wailang is an official rank, not a real post) Jokes kept coming, and finally he was impeached by the government, so the Prime Minister couldn't get out.

Therefore, humor masters are often open-minded, and Su Shi is like this. Although he has no future because of Wutai's poetry case, a poet should be wary of wealth. On the contrary, he has become more and more open-minded. He just likes to talk, and "suddenly listening to lion roars, the staff fell into the palm of his hand" was ridiculed as a good friend.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were many people who were good at Zhuang and Lao. For example, they were ugly and obsessed with what was in the cup, but their courage was commendable. "Liu Lingheng drinking or undressing in the house. Everyone laughs at it. Ling said, "I take heaven and earth as my building and my room as my clothes." . "Why did you get into my pants?" "On another occasion, his wife told him to give up drinking and throw away everything he drank. He stopped and said, just give up, but I can't give up myself. I have to pray to the gods and swear to take some wine and meat as sacrifices. His wife helped him prepare wine and meat, and he prayed that he would be born Liu Ling, named after wine. One glass of wine, one welcome, five games. Be careful not to listen to women. Also lead wine to royal meat, and suddenly drunk. "

By the Ming Dynasty, it was very popular for people to write note novels. Handed down are humorous masters, such as Wang Siren, Zhang Dai. There are too many stories to elaborate on, so let's just say it according to the picture.
