Why is cross talk popular in China?

Crosstalk is popular in China because it is a national intangible cultural heritage and the inheritance of China culture.

The word "sheng", as an ancient image sound, originally meant to imitate others, also known as cross talk next door. The folk rap art in North China further evolved and developed, which was formed by imitating folk art forms such as ventriloquism. It is generally believed that it was formed during Xianfeng and Tongzhi years in Qing Dynasty.

A folk art form that makes the audience laugh by telling jokes or interesting questions and answers. In the early years of the Republic of China, the image pronunciation gradually developed from a person imitating ventriloquism to stand-up crosstalk, and its name was changed to crosstalk. Later, it gradually developed into stand-up crosstalk, counterpart crosstalk and group crosstalk, and became a veritable crosstalk. After years of development, cross talk has finally become the most popular form of cross talk for the audience.
