After the development of the Qing Dynasty until the early years of the Republic of China, crosstalk gradually developed from a person imitating ventriloquism to stand-up crosstalk, and its name was changed to crosstalk. One type of stand-up crosstalk has gradually developed into many types: stand-up crosstalk, counterpart crosstalk and group crosstalk, which are integrated into one.
