What are the eight eccentrics in Yangzhou?

"Being poor is not afraid", whose real name is Zhu Shaowen, is a scholar who has not won the prize. Born in 1829, Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty, a street performer in Tianjin during Guangxu period. His ancestral home is Beijing, Han Junqi, and he was originally a clown in Beijing opera, playing a showy face. According to legend, he wrote the martial arts drama Eighteen Choices. Then lay the ground on the overpass. In his later years, he lived in a felt house outside Di 'anmen in Beijing.

First, Zhu Shaowen sang Peking Opera, but he was envied for his innovation in dressing. So he switched to cross talk and named it "Being poor is not afraid", which means that he is poor but has backbone and is not afraid of anyone's business.

2, vinegar cream.

"vinegar drowning cream" is a nickname, also known as "Chu Miao Gao" My surname is Zhang, a folk artist who appeared in Tianqiao during Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. He mainly tells jokes and cross talks, and at the same time sings Shanxi folk songs, folk songs and pier tunes.

He usually dresses strangely. When he came to power, he wore grass beads and a gauze robe, with long sideburns and unkempt appearance. His specialty is called "dark spring", and today it is called "ventriloquism", among which learning to call birds is his unique skill. The birdsong he learned, including all kinds of birdsong, was tactfully cultivated and lifelike, and it was like being in a bird market when performing.

3. Asako Han.

Han, as the name implies, knows that he is a big-faced man, and people call him "Asako" instead of calling him by his first name. He was the most famous stand-up comedian in the early days of Old Tianqiao. This person specializes in joking or imitating the cries of various merchants in the market, and it is very interesting to perform.

He is sharp-tongued, and the rural level is extremely unbearable. If you look at him again, he looks strange. His face is purple and hemp, and his eyebrows and eyes are swaying. He held his hair between his foreheads and a broken fan in his hand. Every time I see his lips sticking up and his eyes rolling around, I can't help laughing when I don't hear what he says.

4, the basin is bald.

Most Beijingers who are familiar with Tianqiao know the bald man. Bald man in the basin is an artist's nickname, and his real name cannot be verified. Because he knocked on the earthen bowl and sang a little song on the overpass, and his head was bald, everyone called him bald.

Bald man himself has two obvious appearance characteristics. One is baldness, with only one mane and some beards. Second, he walks with a limp, just like Tie Guai Li in The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.

5. Tian Wei.

Tian Gai was an old folk artist who opened a barber shop in Tianqiao Acrobatic Field during Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. His real name can't be verified, because he has been an artist in Tianqiao for decades and has never revealed his life name to others. It seems that he has something to hide, and it is difficult for others to ask.

When he was young, this man had great martial arts and was disabled because he kicked too hard. But some people say that he fought with others and was injured by the other party. No one can tell whether this space is right or wrong.

6. Ugly grandson.

This "ugly grandson" surnamed Sun was nicknamed "ugly grandson" because of his ugliness. He was a famous crosstalk artist in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, and he mainly pretended to be funny.

7. Nasal sounds.

There is little information about rhinoceros in history. According to legend, Bibaz is a strange and poor anonymous artist. His name is unknown, and everyone calls him "Tintin Tinker". Some people say that he used to be a buddy somewhere in Shanxi, but later he was dismissed from Beijing because of his good singing skills, so he became a school of his own in Tianqiao. I wonder if this information is accurate.

8, often a fool.

Chang fool is also one of the eight monsters in the early days of Tianqiao. He performed? "Breaking the Rock" has the color of a Jianghu artist. Most artists on the old overpass have heard of his performance. Some people say that his "stone-beating" is real kung fu, but others say that he "stone-beating" is to promote his patented medicine service for treating falls and injuries, which is commercial and quack. Anyway, I admit that he was one of the weirdos in the early days of the old overpass. Nobody knows what his real name is.
