Ye Yijun

Ye Yijun, female, is the main actor and director of Taiwan's Mesozoic cross talk. She is the first female cross talk performer in Taiwan and internationally known as "the most influential female cross talk actor in the 20th century". She is a master of cross talk, Chen Yian, and the only female disciple of Tian Lianyuan, a famous storyteller in mainland China.

He is now the executive director of the culture and Education Department of Taipei quyi troupe, and a part-time lecturer of Taiwan Foguang University and Taiwan University of Arts. He has won the "Golden Bell Award" for the best host of Taiwan radio variety show.

Disciple's worship

On the morning of September 1, 2007, Tian Lianyuan, a famous storyteller, took Ye Yijun as his disciple. At the ceremony, all the teachers and students said that this was the fate of the traditional Chinese culture, and they should strive to promote the art of storytelling. Ye Yijun told reporters that she likes the ancient art of storytelling very much. Two or three years ago, I met Tian Lianyuan through a mainland crosstalk actor, and I was fascinated by Tian Lianyuan's character, art and the charm of storytelling. In April and May 2007, Tian Lianyuan was invited to Taiwan for art exchange and lectures. Ye Yijun accompanied him all the way and expressed his willingness to worship Tian as a teacher. Tian Lianyuan finally agreed, and ye Yijun became Tian Lianyuan's fourth entry-level disciple. Tian Lianyuan, a famous storyteller, is the chairman of Liaoning quyi Association. At the age of 14, he learned to sing Xihe drum and practice Sanxian. Since 1964, he has successively created, adapted, arranged and performed modern storytelling short segments "new interview", "unfinished drama", "Jia Kechang's horse buying", long storytelling "song of Ouyang Hai", traditional storytelling "Sun Bin and Pang Juan", "Tiao Kou", etc. In 1985, Yang Jiajiang was the first TV storytelling series. In recent years, he has become the main announcer of TV storytelling all over the country, and has successively broadcasted such long storytelling works as Yang Jiajiang, Shuihu, Baogong case, romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties, legend of Jinmen, xiaobayi, etc. While inheriting the fine tradition of storytelling, Tian Lianyuan boldly devoted himself to the reform and innovation of storytelling, forming a unique style, known as "three-dimensional storytelling". Tian Lianyuan, a master storyteller who has not received any disciples for many years, has accepted Ye Yijun, a leading actor and director of Taiwan's Mesozoic crosstalk, as his disciples in Shenyang, which has become a great joy for Liaoning and even the whole country's folk art circles. However, for Mr. Tian, he has experienced a more difficult choice than a storyteller. Mr. Tian, who is busy writing short story storytelling, series storytelling and CD-ROM storytelling for TV variety shows, said in an interview yesterday before returning to Beijing from Shenyang that he was afraid to accept storytelling for fear that it would become a tool of fame and wealth.

Make a preface for yourself

Ye Yijun's preface to her new book "talking about crosstalk" Ye Yijun has always heard that it's easy to write a preface for others, but it's hard to write a preface for herself. Now I understand that! Think about it and say something from the heart! When I first learned crosstalk 20 years ago, it was very difficult for me to collect some research materials. Although it was much more convenient, it was still not easy for me to get to know crosstalk as a whole. I had the honor to participate in the critical period of crosstalk in Taiwan, and personally contacted elite actors from all over the world. I watched many excellent works, so I came up with the idea of paving the way for good friends. I also summarized my personal experience. At first, crosstalk was a performance for entertainment. Its scale was simple and difficult to regulate. For a long time, its social status was low and it was not easy to record. Few people were interested in studying it. It was not until in recent decades that it was transformed from the stuff of xialiba people into a form of literature and art. Only after that, the teacher's advice and professional rules which were taught orally and mentally and practiced for a long time were gradually summarized and published to the world Is a language art or humorous art or folk art, etc., all right! However, the direct use of the word "art" to explain cross talk is easy to confuse the rank between "cross talk" and "cross talk art", because not all cross talk works have artistic value, and even most of the cross talk performances do not have any artistry. Therefore, I would rather say that it is one of the "comic personal skills performances" from its essence first! "Ji" is an ancient word, which refers to a certain skill and the person who has that skill, showing an inseparable relationship between the two. In China, "spoken humor" has a long history, and "individual" has always been the core aesthetic object of traditional art. The result of cross talk training has created an interesting performance, creation and aesthetic system centered on the artist himself It is the ingenious relationship between the system and its form. In this unique system, in addition to skills, what is more intriguing is the irreplaceable personal style and its taste of "wonderful brushwork and exquisite ink" and "elegant thinking", which is vaguely corresponding to the traditional cultural aesthetics; this book is to show this "small and beautiful" system and explore its self roundness. After three years of writing, I have received a lot of help from my family, teachers and friends. I can't count every bit in detail. I would like to thank Lin Gufang, Hong Mengqi, Cai Xinxin, Su Guizhi, Zhu Zhixiang, Li Diankui, Lai Shengchuan, Xue Baokun, Ni Zhongzhi and Bao Chengjie for their guidance. I would like to thank Mr. Jiang Kun for his generous help. I would also like to thank the predecessors: Ma Ji, Wu Zhaonan, Chang Guitian and Li Chengjie Jindou, Li Jianhua, Han Lancheng, Zhang Zhikuan, Wei Wenliang, Hou Changxi, Li Boxiang, Chen Xin, siglin, Huang Dehe, as well as old friends Liu zengkai, Guo Zhijie, Fu Weidi, Gao Weiyang, Lin Wenbin, Chen Qingsheng, thank Lun Zhang, Shumei, Fengling, Yueling for their hard work in proofreading, and thank Chen Yongquan, Li Wenhua, Wei Kai, Cai mingxiong, China crosstalk, Taipei quyi troupe Thanks to Mr. Dong Yangzi for his inscriptions, and thanks again to the National Taiwan Art Education Museum for the opportunity to publish. In addition, I especially commemorate my late parents, Mr. Chen Yian, Mr. Wang Yizhao and brother Xin Guang who died during my writing! How happy they would be if they could see the publication of this book! Finally, I quote from E.H. Gombrich's principles of Art: "almost all the most outstanding artists grew up under this solid tradition, so we should not forget those humble masters who learned their skills from the workplace." I hope that the readers will understand that it is because of those old artists who assiduously recognized their shares that they have crosstalk and even the art of crosstalk, as well as this book and many other books on crosstalk. Here I would like to express my highest respect to them and wish that crosstalk can replace talents and be renewed for a long time!
