What good works does Jiang Kun have? What did he do for crosstalk?

From the perspective of the times, Jiang Kun should be regarded as one of the best crosstalk performers in an era. Although it is not a "master" level, it is also one of the heroes who revitalized cross talk in that era.

Crosstalk is one of the traditional folk art forms in China, and it is also a popular folk art form. Especially in the north of China.

According to the present statement, cross talk is rooted in Grass Root Art of ordinary people. Since the formation of crosstalk, there has never been an art that can be on the "elegant hall".

This situation lasted until the founding of New China, when the crosstalk masters were Hou, Ma and so on. They made unremitting efforts for the mainstream of cross talk and carried out reforms, which played an important role in the development of cross talk later. "Elegant crosstalk" and "the art of laughter" have become the mainstream. These old artists can say that crosstalk is formed by removing dross (that is, the "three customs" that Jiang Kun opposed).

This is the beginning of new China crosstalk.

However, in the long-term political struggle, cross talk has become directionless. The particularity of cross talk (satirizing and criticizing reality) and overemphasizing entertainment (cross talk is not if you are unhappy) had little room for survival at that time, except for cross talk that "serves politics".

This embarrassing state, with the rise of "praising cross talk" represented by Ma Ji, can be regarded as keeping the hope of survival for cross talk. At the same time, during that period, a "new generation" represented by Jiang Kun began to rise.

Jiang Kun's master is Ma Ji.

Jiang Kun is a representative figure of outstanding crosstalk performers who emerged after 1976 under the general environment of "bringing order out of chaos" and "emancipating the mind". Under the cultural tide of "emancipating the mind", Jiang Kun's cross talk "So Taking Pictures" started a political movement of "criticism and satire". Like the popular "scar literature" at that time, it was deeply loved by the broad masses of the people.

It can be said that Jiang Kun is a representative figure of another era, who has made important contributions to the revitalization of cross talk and has been recognized by people.

There are many cross talk works by Jiang Kun. His works are very close to life, and can also grasp the social hot spots or social unhealthy phenomena at that time. Most of his works are "good-will satires" on various social undesirable phenomena through typical figures and events.

There are many cross talk works by Jiang Kun, including more than 30 well-known works. Besides taking a picture like this, other works were popular at that time, such as Wrong Step, Granny Watching Volleyball, Walking in the Tiger's Mouth, Elevator Storm, Anxiety, Learning to Sing, etc.

In addition to crosstalk works, Jiang Kun also published two books, A General History of China Quyi and An Introduction to China Quyi.

Jiang Kun is a persistent person. He is committed to transforming cross talk from a grass-roots craft into a mainstream art form. Whether this kind of effort can achieve its goal and whether it is necessary to transform cross talk from grass-roots craft into mainstream art form is another question, but his pursuit is actually worthy of respect. At the same time, although his opposition to the "three customs" of cross talk has made the representatives of today's "mainstream" cross talk (traditional cross talk) "dismissive", from the current situation, it is now.

What is certain is that Jiang Kun's pursuit has been recognized within the system, which can be illustrated by his long-term position as head of the China Radio and Rap Troupe and president of the Chinese Quyi Artists Association.

But when it comes to the contribution to crosstalk itself, we can only say that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves before. This is also a historical necessity.
