Why are clowns called clowns instead of clowns?

Comedians are comedy stars, similar to the crosstalk masters you see, such as Degang Guo and yang shen. It is a neutral word in itself. Joker means ace in the hole; A joker; Idiot, loser, and Arthur is just a combination of the three. So it's called a clown.

Arthur likes telling jokes and tries to tell them well. But in the eyes of Xiong Haizi, drunkards and idols, Arthur is a waste and a joke; At first, the king of size was added to playing cards as a "substitute" for other cards. If a card is lost, Joker can be used as a discard card, and Arthur will certainly not be listed.

Arthur said to the others, "Please introduce me as a clown when you come in." On the one hand, it echoes the birth of the clown in Batman, on the other hand, it declares that the clown is no longer one of many clowns, but an evil leader.

The history of "clown" and "clown";

People prefer humor to seriousness, which is an aesthetic preference since ancient times. In ancient times when entertainment was relatively scarce, performers who could make people laugh were the easiest to get happiness, so clowns appeared very early.

I. Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece

The earliest clowns were generally called clowns. Clowns first appeared in Egypt in 2400 BC, and the existing hieroglyphics recorded that clowns were basically served by clergy at that time, so the origin of clowns was related to beliefs. There were also clowns in ancient Greek dramas. They usually shave their heads, fill their clothes with fillers to make them look bloated, play tricks on bad people and throw snacks at the audience. Clowns in ancient Greece were similar to China's "relieving worries" during the Warring States Period.

Second, clowns appeared in the middle ages.

After the fall of Rome, pantomime was no longer popular, but the clown occupation that made people laugh was still developing, especially jester (fool, joker) appeared in the court, which developed the connotation of clown. A jester lives in a palace or a noble family. He usually entertains his master by playing music, juggling and guessing riddles, and sometimes he performs special effects. A player is a special performer in the court. They usually wear special clothes and two or three long hats with balls at the tail, which is the prototype of clown hats.
