From which dynasty did the storyteller in the teahouse begin to appear?

According to historical records, storytelling originated in the Song Dynasty. It was a popular folk art in the streets of northern China, and it was also one of the most popular entertainment and leisure projects at that time. In the Song Dynasty, people who wanted to read storytellers often waited near Goulan Washe, waiting for the arrival of storytellers. During the Republic of China, storytellers often cooperated with teahouses. Most teahouses will put up a wooden sign with the name of the storyteller and the content of the upcoming story in advance, and interested listeners will wait in the teahouse and listen to books while drinking tea.

Although the story-telling scenes are different, the storyteller has only a few props, usually just a wooden table, a paper fan and a wake-up call. Among them, Awakening Wood is the most important, because it is equivalent to the storyteller's performance license, and it also represents the storyteller's heritage and inheritance. Generally, waking up the wood is handed down by the storyteller. Therefore, a storyteller can only get his own awakening wood on the day he finishes his studies.

Paper fans are props for storytellers to simulate scenes. Storytellers can use paper fans to show swords, weapons and brushes in stories. For example, the storyteller uses the action of waving a paper fan to show the hero's sword posture or splash ink, thus helping the listener to better enter the described scene. Besides paper fans, handkerchiefs, teapots, teacups and other things are also tools that storytellers can use when performing. An excellent storyteller can often use language, actions, manners and tools flexibly to make his storytelling lively and interesting.

The storyteller's notebook is also important. The story of storytellers is different because the notebooks of storytellers in different schools are different. After inheriting their own books, storytellers will modify and improve them according to the changes of the ideological trend of the times and the audience's on-the-spot reaction, and finally get a new book suitable for the contemporary storytelling market and pass it on. However, no matter what kind of story book it is, the storyteller will always say, Listen to the next decomposition. ?
