Some people say that the level of horses is higher than that of Hou, but why did Hou save the bottom in Tianjin Variety Park?

There is no first place in literature. Therefore, this comparison is meaningless, just like saying that Jia Pingwa or Yu Hua wrote better, but it is actually a matter of different eyes.

As far as the characteristics of cross talk are concerned, the horse is "weird" and the Hou is "handsome". Judging from the cross talk itself, Ma's cross talk is mainly about talking, and it relies on the charm of language and the ability to control language to amuse the audience. Ma Lisan doesn't have much burden, but he spreads the floor evenly. After catching the audience, he will give you a big burden to make the audience happy.

So Ma's crosstalk is memorable! It's nothing. Think about it. Just coke. For example, I'm teasing you, Scratching, Zhang Suicide and so on.

The advantage of post-crosstalk is that he learned to sing, which horses don't have. Hou has a good foundation in Peking Opera and a natural voice, so his wickerwork works are a major feature.

This is more pleasing to the audience, because the audience looks fresh: one can learn all kinds of operas, which is interesting.

In the aspect of "teasing", Ma is slightly better and Hou sings better. Generally speaking, they are almost the same. I think Hou can guarantee the bottom, mainly because of his singing skills. In the past, drum writing was used to save the bottom, and there were at most two cross talks.

Because crosstalk is to make the audience have fun, and drum sets can bring "enjoyment" to the old audience. They can listen to a familiar drum song with their eyes closed and their heads shook, and then go home. It's good to have a smoldering fire, which not only makes the audience tired of singing, but also has fun, and the effect is of course good.

Ma's crosstalk is completely different from Master Hou's crosstalk, just like CCTV's crosstalk and Tianjin Quyi Teahouse's crosstalk, with different styles. I like both masters very much. In particular, his cross talk is full of "bad" flavor, but Hou's cross talk has a little "bad" flavor.

Another contribution of Master Ma is that his son has basically inherited the new style. Unfortunately, the right time, the right place and the right people are not so hot, except Tianjin. Master Hou's crosstalk is very innovative, with a particularly good rhythm, which sounds very comfortable.

Plus his location, so you can watch more audio and video materials, and the quality is good. It is also interesting to say that one Tianjin native took root in Beijing, and the other Beijing native stayed in Tianjin Wei. This is all fate.

Hou's contribution to crosstalk is to make crosstalk get "attention" and to make crosstalk survive through purification. This is all important! Hou is more important than Ma in the history of cross talk, but as far as cross talk itself is concerned, each has its own merits, and no one is higher or lower.
