What's the difference between crosstalk and sketch?

Different forms. Crosstalk emphasizes the effect of listening. Only one or a few people stand in a fixed position and make fun with lip service to arouse the audience's hearing.

crosstalk

Crosstalk originated in Beijing and became popular all over the country. It is generally believed that it was formed during the reign of Xianfeng and Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty. It is a form of Quyi performance with a long history, wide spread and deep mass base. In Beijing dialect, there is also "dialect crosstalk" in local dialects. In the process of cross talk, we have absorbed the artistic advantages of ventriloquism and storytelling extensively, combined Zhuang and harmony, expressed truth, goodness and beauty with satirical jokes, made people laugh as the artistic feature, and took "speaking, learning, teasing and singing" as the main artistic means. There are three forms of performance: stand-alone performance, counterpart performance and group performance. The actor's stand-up crosstalk performance, telling jokes; The dialogue is answered by two actors, usually including "one-headed weight" and "one-headed weight"; Group talk, also called "group live", is performed by more than three actors. Traditional plays satirize all kinds of ugly phenomena in the old society and reflect all kinds of phenomena in life mainly through humorous narration. After liberation, in addition to continuing to carry forward the satirical tradition, there are also works praising new people and new things. Traditional songs include The Battle between Guan Gong and Qin Qiong, Drama and Dialect, Jia Xingjia and Stripping the Jacket, with a total of more than 200 songs. The works that reflect real life have great influence, such as Nocturnal Walking, Buying Monkeys, Yesterday and Hat Factory.

sketch

The word "sketch" existed as early as the Jin Dynasty, which is a Buddhist term. Shi Shuo Xin Yu Literature: Under the sentence of "Yin Reading Essays", Liu Xiao marked: "Shi Shuo Jian Kong Jing is detailed. The details are big products, and the short ones are sketches. " Kumarajiva translated the Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra, calling the 27 volumes with more details as "Great Prajna" and the 10 volume with less details as "Little Prajna". It can be seen that "essays" and "masterpieces" refer to abridged versions of Buddhist scriptures. Because of its short length, concise language and easy reading and dissemination, it is favored by people. Zhang Rong's "Legacy Order": "My life is good, and Lingyun smiles. The coffin is 3 thousand dollars, and there is no new one. The left hand holds Xiao Jing and Lao Zi, and the right hand holds the essay Hokkekyo. " (Book of Southern Qi (Volume 41)) shows his preference for "essays". At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xiang was written, and the preface said: "Long summer, living in Pishan, celebrating" Lotus Sketch ",the most famous temple, is a short story." At the end of the Ming Dynasty, people were obsessed with Buddhism in order to escape political disasters, but they just escaped from Zen and hid in Zen. Most people didn't really escape into an empty door. Therefore, they have no patience to study the profound and mysterious Buddhist scriptures, but they have a special liking for "essays". With the prosperity of Zen Buddhism and Yue Xue, scholars naturally transplanted the concept of "essays" into literature.

In the thirty-ninth year of Wanli (16 1 1), Wang Jian-yi compiled Su Changgong's Collected Works, which was originally regarded as a literary concept. Chen Jiru's Essays on Su Changgong said: "If you want to choose a collection of essays on long-term workers, you should choose short works before differences, with tens of thousands of words on theory, strategy and printing, so that students can learn later. For those who read Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism, it is not too late to read "A Han Xiao" first, and then it was written into 548 volumes. This method of reading long public collections is also. " (Mr. Mei Gong's Essays on the Evening Fragrant Hall, Volume XI) puts forward "short but different" as the feature of "essays" and compares it with "Essays on A Han", which shows that the concept of "essays" was moved from Buddhist scriptures. This is the original concept of "essays" in the late Ming Dynasty, which generally refers to prose style, with short length, meaningful and novel. Chen Jiru was the leader of the "Mountain Man" family in the late Ming Dynasty. Under his call, the word "sketch" spread like wildfire, and at that time everyone rushed to write, select and discuss sketches, which became the general trend.

The broad sketch covers a wide range, while the narrow sketch refers to the short art of speaking and performing. Its basic requirements are clear language, natural form, full understanding and expression of each character's personality and language characteristics, and the most representative is comedy sketches.

Sketch has a long history. China's comedy sketches originated in the early 1980s, which inherited and developed the advantages of drama, cross talk, duet and drama. Especially Zhao Benshan, Peisi Chen, Zhu Shimao, Song Dandan, Huang Hong, Cai Ming, Guo Da and Pan Changjiang. Among them, only Zhao Benshan has inherited the authenticity of local language art, and also has the potential of a talk show superstar. The acting skills of other stars are a bit too professional. Zhao Benshan's success is related to his folk background. The improvisation form of sketches needs rich life experience and vivid life language. Its artistic temperament is absolutely opposite to drama, and its linguistic temperament is also completely opposite to drama.
