Of course, Wanrong is most famous for its joke, also called Wanrong "Zheng" (zeng dialect)

In the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the autumn air is crisp and clear. After finishing their work in the fields, the villagers in southern Shanxi squatted in twos and threes under the old willow tree at the head of the village, and started chatting again. Major world events, market prices, anecdotes from other places, and trivial matters in the neighborhood are all topics for conversation. However, it is the Vang Vieng jokes that people are most interested in.

There is Yuncheng in the south of Shanxi Province. There is Wanrong County in Yuncheng. In the early years, Wanrong was divided into two counties, Wanquan and Ronghe. I can't remember how many generations ago, the story of seventy-two "fights" was passed down from generation to generation in Ronghe. The general pattern of the story is: If you don’t let me do this, I have to do this; generally speaking, this cannot be done, but I have to do this. The words and deeds of the characters in the story often reveal the meaning of being stubborn, demanding, disobedient, unwilling to listen to advice, and going uphill. These are the original basic characteristics of Wanrong's jokes.

At the same time, Wanrong's jokes also have a strong metaphorical rationality, "Taking the truth in reverse", telling a truth from the opposite side, by saying this is ridiculous and this is wrong, thereby implying that it is credible and that is correct. In addition, Wanrong jokes also have a strong sense of humor and ridiculousness. The stories often contain many of the most hilarious jokes in life, some good-natured sarcasm, or some light-hearted sarcasm. Under the clever arrangement of the storyteller, they give people a laugh-out-loud ending.

A few years ago, there was a Wanrong joke that was widely circulated in China. It’s talking about the craze for business cards that is rising in society today. Ten Wanrong people also show their business cards when they go out to do business. I saw printed on it: Song Erwa, Secretary and Director of the Wanrong County Local State-owned Cement Factory Branch of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council. The other party was temporarily confused about the administrative level of Wan Rongke and was at a loss for reception matters. It is said that this joke was heard by state officials who came to Shanxi Province to inspect the work, and they couldn't help but laugh.

Wanrong jokes are a cultural specialty on the Loess Plateau of Shanxi. It is like a jar of old cellar wine, whoever drinks it will get drunk and intoxicated. It is like a legendary treasure gourd. No one can figure out how many stories can be poured out of it or when and how many years and months it will be poured out. In Wanrong County, telling jokes is a prelude to farmers’ daily hospitality. Local men, women and children will all tell a few Wanrong jokes. Even in other places in Shanxi Province, when people get together, they often start by telling Wanrong jokes, and then leave the meeting laughing after hearing the Wanrong jokes.

When foreigners come to Shanxi on business trips, they often regard hearing Wanrong jokes as a kind of spiritual enjoyment after dinner. Even if you delay eating or give up sleeping, you still have to listen to Wanrong jokes. It won't work if you don't listen, and it won't work if you listen to too little. Some people will listen to it twice after listening to it once. It is always new and always happy. The unique wit and high-grade humor of each Wanrong joke has fascinated people from all over the country, stirring up whirlpools of laughter and joy one after another in today's real life.

People in Wanrong love jokes about their hometown. The "Wanrong Joke Research Association" was established in the county, and the local newspaper "Wanrong People" published articles on Wanrong jokes one after another. Every winter during the slack season, the Wanrong County Cultural Bureau holds a county-wide joke contest, and the winners will receive valuable prizes. There were even local people who specially invited country joke masters to tell Vang Vieng jokes. If you tell a Wanrong joke, you will be rewarded with a bowl of mutton steamed buns. In recent years, when the Internet has become popular, "Internet bugs" who love Wanrong jokes have also brought Wanrong jokes to the online world to provide more people with the opportunity to taste, chew and enjoy.

Wanrong’s joke has also attracted the attention of some of today’s popular stars in China’s entertainment industry. Bolin, Feng Gong, Niu Qun, Wang Mudu and others all sent people to Shanxi to buy the newly published Wanrong Joke Collection as a reference for future creations.

Wanrong jokes are a kind of advanced joy agent, which can add joy to people's lives and eliminate worries. Wanrong jokes are a special kind of lubricant that can resolve conflicts and make the angry knots of resentment be relieved through laughter. Wanrong jokes are also a wonderful glue that can promote family harmony and unity among relatives and friends. Wanrong jokes are also a nourishment of wisdom, which not only enlighten people's brains, but also teach people how to be humorous and enjoy humor.

Pick one and get a reward.

Dad, come back

People often say: Don’t be stubborn! Damn it! A man bought a little barking donkey, and he was really stubborn. He took it to the field to work on it for the first time, but it didn't work well. He had no choice but to let his father hold the little donkey in front while he held the plow behind. When the plow reached the bottom of the field, he said, "Dad, stop!" His father led the donkey to a stop. He picked up the plow crutch and said, "Dad, come back!" His father led the donkey back. He picked up the plow, turned around, plugged it in, and said, "Dad, let's go!" His dad led the donkey and started walking forward. Just like this, as soon as the plow reaches the bottom of the ground, he calls out "Dad stop", "Dad come back", and "Dad go". Later, they trained the little braying donkey to be good at working, but it couldn't understand the commands of "drive" and "pu" and only obeyed the commands of "pa stop", "pa come back" and "pa go".

After two years, he wanted to sell the donkey. I made an agreement with a buyer at the market and paid the price, but the buyer "drove" and "drove" for a long time, but couldn't pull the donkey away. He had no choice but to teach the buyer the command to call the donkey. When the buyer heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put the reins into his hand again and said, "Give me your money back. I don't want you as a donkey father anymore."

"You regretted it. I will fine you ten yuan." Money!" He deducted ten yuan, returned the money to the buyer, took the donkey and said, "Dad, come back!" He called the donkey and followed him home.
