What is the "well-known" reason for the decline of cross talk in the mid-1990s?

The "well-known" reasons for the decline of crosstalk in the mid-1990s are the appearance of sketches and the diversification of entertainment methods.

Crosstalk was formed during the reign of Xianfeng and Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty. It is a folk art form that makes the audience laugh by telling jokes or funny questions and answers. In the early years of the Republic of China, the image pronunciation gradually developed from a person imitating ventriloquism to stand-up crosstalk, and the name was changed to crosstalk.

In 1990s, with the appearance of sketches and the diversification of entertainment methods, the decline of cross talk was inevitable. The emergence of Internet and the leap of communication technology have accelerated this process. China's cross talk art has reached a low point, and many cross talk actors have gone to the film and television industry for gold.

Mr. Degang Guo, who is only in his twenties, clearly realizes that crosstalk art can only survive and develop if it returns to the theater. So he founded Deyun Society at 1995. After ten years' vicissitudes, from only one audience under the stage to holding a special cross talk performance, Deyun Society rose suddenly in 2005, realizing the second revival of cross talk.

The way of crosstalk performance:

There were two kinds of crosstalk performances at first. The crosstalk performed in the curtain is called "Dark Spring" and the crosstalk performed in public is called "Bright Spring". Three years after Xuantong was proclaimed in Qing Dynasty (19 1 1), only one kind of "next spring" continued to develop. There are three forms of cross talk: stand-up cross talk, mouth-to-mouth cross talk and group cross talk. Stand-up crosstalk is a joke performed by actors.

Crosstalk is performed by two actors. Narrator A is called "teasing" and assistant dialogue B is called "laughing". When performing, they can be divided into three categories according to their different contents and language styles: one is heavy, the other is heavy, and the other is oral. Crosstalk is performed by more than three actors, A is called "funny", B is called "funny" and C is called "greasy".
