What do you mean, stripped jacket?

Stripping mandarin jackets is one of the traditional cross talk tracks. The whole cross talk is cleverly conceived and the characters are distinct. A simulates the help of coveting small profits, B simulates the artist, and C simulates the young master "seedling" who is coaxed and held by others. With deep pockets, C has always boasted that he is knowledgeable, and he is full of nonsense and lies. He relies on A to wear his jacket in front of people and often asks A to lie to him.

In order to wear a mandarin jacket for two more days, A had to rely on his own wit to find out the basis for C's lies. The more C said, the more mysterious, and A was full of embarrassment. Finally, he had to take the initiative to take off his jacket, no longer sing with the sound, no longer sniff at others, and no longer lie for C. The performance versions and plots of the Central Radio Rap Troupe and the Beijing Quyi Troupe are not the same, but they all lie strangely with C and skillfully win with A.

Extended information

Stripping mandarin jackets satirizes the help of the idle rich. In Qing dynasty, such people were called "virtual children" and hypocritical "virtual"; In the early days of the Republic of China, it was called "driving a seedling", and "seedling" refers to a young man, commonly known as "young master seedling". In "Stripping the Jacket", the young master Yanzi made a big lie by talking nonsense, and the driver of Yanzi tried his best to flatter and talk glibly for a little profit.

Some people say that the value of "Ba Ma Gua" lies in criticizing the philosophy of citizens instead of advocating it. The lies told by young master Yang Zi, such as the wind blowing the well away and the roast duck flying, are adapted from the "Round Lie" in the joke collection "A Record of the New Carved Laughing Forest".

The original joke is as follows:

Some people are used to telling lies, and their servants will round them up every generation. One day, he said to someone, "A well in my house was blown to the house next door by the strong wind yesterday." -Servant Yuan said, "It's true. My well is close to my neighbor's fence. Last night, the wind was strong, and the fence was blown over this side of the well, but it was blown to the neighbor's house like a well."

The "Chrysanthemum Mule fell into a tea bowl and burned to death" in the cross talk originated from "Chickens eat black donkeys" in the joke collection "Continued Notes on Jinling" in the Ming Dynasty. The original text is as follows:

A gentleman in a township is aggressive and promotes weaving. When I heard that there was a promoter in Sanpai Arch, I was sure to be good at fighting, so I went to ask for it. The man said, "If you can exchange the black donkey you ride, you can ignore the silver." Because of his great love, he said, "The ancients still exchanged concubines for horses, so why cherish a donkey!" Xiang Yi went home, playing with the box, and suddenly jumped to the ground and was eaten by the chicken. He was furious and said, "A black donkey was eaten by the chicken, hateful, hateful!" The listener can't help laughing.

Adapted into a cross talk "Stripping the jacket", and changed the "black donkey" into "green mule"; "Chicken food" was changed to "scalded to death in a tea bowl".

During the adaptation of cross talk, we focus on shaping two characters: one is a young man who is foggy in Yunshan, and is always tongue-tied. The other is the help of the young master. In order to borrow the young master's jacket to wear for a few days, I had to be beside him and try my best to lie for others. Sometimes I was tongue-tied and full of gaffes.

There is also a person in this cross talk. The cross talk term is "mud-stitched", and the needle is threaded between the above two characters, putting them in an opposite state, organizing a series of "burdens" and causing hearty laughter.
