Guo Degang and Yu Qian’s cross talk master did not give them stage names, so they always used their real names.
Crosstalk is an art that pays most attention to the master's inheritance. Often when a crosstalk actor becomes a disciple, the master will give the apprentice a stage name in order to protect the disciple and make it easier for him to know who his disciple is after he goes out. This is also the case of crosstalk. a tradition. Guo Degang also attached great importance to tradition and gave his disciples the stage name "Yunhe, Jiuxiao, Dragon, Tengsihai". But why did Guo Degang and Yu Qian use their real names? Guo Degang used the name Guo Gangda when he was a child. Perhaps because it was too down-to-earth, he changed his name to Guo Degang when he was in junior high school.
Guo Degang’s cross talk master is Hou Yaowen, and Yu Qian’s cross talk master is Shi Fukuan. Everyone knows this. In the 1970s and 1980s, the crosstalk world began to establish new trends and break the old customs and sect divisions. From that time on, the cross talk community was not interested in giving names to apprentices, and the apprentices only called their masters teacher. Well-known crosstalk actors such as Feng Gong, Jiang Kun, Shi Shengjie, etc. also learned crosstalk at that time and did not have stage names.
Hou Yaowen and Shi Fukuan also studied cross talk at that time and did not have stage names themselves. Therefore, when Guo Degang and Yu Qian became apprentices, they were not given stage names. At the same time, when Guo Degang became a disciple, he was already well-known, and it was even more unsuitable to change his name.
Guo Degang and Yu Qian have stage names, but they were not given by the cross talk master.
Crosstalk emphasizes speaking, learning and singing, so many crosstalk actors have several masters, such as Allegro master, Pingshu drum master and so on. Guo Degang and Yu Qian have the same master, Mr. Jin Wensheng, the storytelling master. Also apprentices were Li Jing and Gao Feng. Mr. Jin Wensheng named the four people according to the rules, namely Guo Zengfu, Yu Zengshou, Li Zenglu and Gao Zengxi. The stage names of the four are still very festive. Guo Degang is very grateful to Mr. Jin Wensheng.
When he broke into Beijing, his registration number was Yang Zhigang's apprentice. After being denied, it was Mr. Jin who told Guo Degang to apply for his name, so that Guo Degang had a disciple. Why don’t Guo Degang and Yu Qian use the stage names given by Mr. Jin? On the one hand, Jin Wensheng is not their cross talk master, and since the two are now cross talk actors, of course they cannot just give the stage name given by Jin Wensheng. On the other hand, their names are too festive. When the announcement came, "I would like to invite Guo Zengfu and Yu Zengshou to present the cross talk "I Want to Go Against Three Customs"", wasn't it a bit too funny?
