Since the 1980s, folk art has developed more vigorously under the new situation of reform and opening up. Not only has a large number of young folk performers been trained, but folk art research has also made great progress. Speaking refers to rap during the Song and Yuan Dynasties in China. The perfunctory storytelling with stories is similar to the storytelling of later generations. Artists who engage in speaking are called speakers. The word "speak" has been an idiom since the Sui and Tang Dynasties. "Hua" refers to the story told orally. It is also called Huaben, which is like telling stories. The Dunhuang manuscripts include "Han Qinhu Huaben", the Tang Dynasty people have "Yizhihuahua", and since the Five Dynasties, there are also "ancient words", which are ancient raps. Historical stories; there are also "small stories". Volume 40 of "The First Collection of Tiaoxi Yuyincong Hua", "A Little Story about the Fenghuang Sleeping Thirst", is still a short story; it is also called "diaohua". "Collection of Brothels" says: "When a young boy was good at talking, he was the so-called novelist in the world." It can be seen that this literary form has a long history. Bianwen should have a direct impact on speech.

The art of speaking flourished in the Song Dynasty. Speakers occupied a dominant position in Goulanwashe. Taking Lin'an as an example, there were hundreds of people engaged in this profession, but there was only one person who told jokes. At that time, speaking was divided into four schools, namely, novels, public cases and iron cavalry, classics and reference, and history books. In novels, the name Yinzier is derived from the accompaniment of Yinzi Sheng or Yinzi Zhen, and often tells sad and moving stories about smoke powder, ghosts, legends, etc. Talking about public cases and iron cavalry is naturally a story about simple swords, sticks and sticks, and iron horses and gold swords. With Yinzi'er, it can be said to be both literary and military. Talking about sutras and references refers to the stories of singing Buddhist scriptures and meditating on Zen enlightenment. Telling history books means telling stories. Most of them were long commentaries on the rise and fall of wars in the past dynasties. They were most prosperous in the Yuan Dynasty. We can still read "Three Kingdoms Zhipinghua", "Five Dynasties Shipinghua" and so on.

Among the four speakers, those who are most artistically accomplished and have the greatest influence on later generations are history telling and novels. According to "Capital Chronicles": "The most fearful of novelists is that novelists can tell stories from one generation to the next." , "It's broken in an instant (one pinch)" means that the novelist is not limited by books, history and biographies, and can focus on describing the story and portray the characters vividly. Whether it is a long history or a short story, it is interspersed with perfunctory, dark and light, fascinating. The art of rapping is a performing art that involves both speaking and singing, that is, "getting the words, reciting the poems, speaking the words, and making the puzzle". "Ci" and "poetry" are for singing; "words" are for loose talk and "building", similar to gags in opera, in terms of performance. The most comprehensive summary of the achievements in the art of speaking is what Luo Ye said in "Talks of a Drunkard": "There are many novels, and they must be based on practical learning. It is the beginning of the world, and it is knowledgeable about the classics and history, and it is rich in legends from ancient times to the present. It is full of wind and rain. , talking about the words of monsters and elves, distinguishing between gods, swords, and cavalry. content, to its artistic features, a complete summary is made. The art of speaking has had a profound impact on later generations of novels, operas, and folk arts.
