An important feature of telling jokes is that

An important feature of telling jokes is that the form is short and the plot is subtle. There are very few characters in folk jokes, even only one person, and the plot is extremely simple. There is usually no need to explain the past and the ending. Only a few words, dozens of words, constitute a joke. The point of jokes is not to portray characters or tell stories, but to be subtle in the plot. The story narrated by jokes often rises in a moment and ends with an unexpected sentence, which is abrupt and meaningful. For example, "Shooting Tiger": "One person fights for the tiger title, and his son pursues it with a bow, full of shooting desire. The father shouted to his son from the distance of the tiger's mouth:' Be sure to pat with your feet, not the tiger's skin. "This joke, including punctuation, is only fifty words, but it has characters, plots and descriptions, and makes a miser who wants money but is not desperate lively and interesting.

Exaggerated technique. Many plots in jokes come from the dark side and negative side in real life, such as laziness, cowardice, greed and hypocrisy. By grasping a special feature of things and deliberately exaggerating and highlighting this feature, the working people can reach the level of making people laugh and satirize, so that people can clearly understand its true colors and essence in laughter. Such as the lazy woman in Lazy Woman. When her husband went out, he made her a big cake and put it on her head. When she came back a few days later, she was still hungry. Only one piece of pie was eaten in front of her, and the rest was put on her head. It turned out that she was too lazy to reach for the pie.
