Can you tell me what you like about Dan Tianfang's stories?

The first ballad I heard from Mr Dan Tianfang was The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, when I was a young student. After listening to this ballad, I was out of control. From then on, I became a big fan of Mr Dan Tianfang. Until now, I still keep the habit of listening to old songs before going to bed every night, and I fell asleep after listening to them.

Fortunately, listening to storytelling now is not like listening to only one episode every day in the past. It's hard to make up if you miss it. Now you can listen to storytelling at will, and you can replay it if you miss it. Although I have heard other famous storytellers, Mr. Dan Tianfang has listened to them the most and for the longest time. It is said that Mr. Dan Tianfang has broadcast more than 100 ballads in his life. It can be said that he has devoted his whole life to the cause of ballads. These wonderful songs also won him the reputation of "Where there is a well, there is Dan Tianfang".

So why do I like Shan Lao's storytelling? I think there are four reasons. First of all, preconceived ideas. The first ballad I ever heard was Shan Lao's The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties. After listening to this ballad, I became a ballad fan. With this hobby, I have a wonderful affinity for Shan Lao's storytelling.

The second reason is that Mr Dan Tianfang's unique voice has great charm and attraction. Anyone who has heard Mr. Dan Tianfang tell stories knows that his voice is very hoarse. People call this hoarse voice "Yun Zheyue". Shan Lao's storytelling is not born hoarse, but acquired. When he was young, his voice was clear when he performed on the stage. Later, he suffered a lot in that special era. Mr Dan Tianfang became hoarse because he was so anxious to get angry that he had an operation.

It is reasonable to say that singing and singing opera need actors to have a loud voice. A hoarse voice said that telling stories actually has great disadvantages. At first, Mr Dan Tianfang was worried that the audience would not accept it. But in fact, his "Yun Zheyue" voice has become his greatest advantage, with a unique voice charm that others can't imitate, which is very recognizable.

The third reason is that Mr. Dan Tianfang's stories are very grounded. Grounding gas is close to ordinary people, which is naturally easy to be accepted and liked by ordinary people. To say which storyteller has the widest audience, it is Mr. Dan Tianfang. Shan Lao used a lot of straightforward and interesting buzzwords in telling stories. These catchwords are a major feature of mountain storytelling. They sound like vernacular, but they are very philosophical.

The fourth reason is that Mr. Dan Tianfang's skill in portraying characters, especially small people, is a master's handwriting. In Shan Lao's numerous storytelling works, the popularity of small people often exceeds that of main characters, such as Fang Shuan, thin-necked big head ghost, top scholar Feng Yuan and so on. Jia Ming and Yang, the golden-headed tigers in the Three Heroes; Many small people, such as Zhang Fang, a morbid old man in The Story of Tonglin, are brilliant and overshadow the leading role.

The fifth reason is that Mr. Dan Tianfang has profound artistic skills in storytelling, which is completely different from the current audio novels. No matter how gorgeous and pleasant the voice is, the audio novel will have the feeling of reading aloud and reciting after all, which is far from the taste of telling stories. Listening to the old man telling stories is the authentic storytelling. Regardless of voice, speech speed, tone, gestures, etc. It embodies the essence of storytelling and the demeanor of a master.
