The well-known Deyun Society now refers to Beijing Deyun Society Culture Communication Co., Ltd. The predecessor of this company is Beijing Wenji Deyun Quyi Research Society. Deyun Quyi Research Society was originally a Quyi group founded by Degang Guo, Zhang Wenshun and Li Jing in 1995. There are also different opinions about the origin of the word "Deyun".
the first common expression is taken from "virtue and art are both fragrant". Degang Guo said that the audience is the food and clothing parents of crosstalk performers. The pursuit of Deyun Society can also be seen from the combination of virtue and art. Whether you are doing crosstalk performances or being a human being, you should not forget your roots, but be both virtuous and artistic.
The second argument is that Zhang Yunshun, one of the founders, took the name. Zhang Wenshun's apprentices are "German", such as Zhang Dewu and Xu Deliang, who are deeply loved by the audience. Another founder, Degang Guo, also has a word "De" in his name, so he chose "De". It is rumored that Zhang Yunshun hung a word in his study, which said, "Clouds and cranes are nine, dragons and dragons are everywhere". Similarly, Zhang Yunshun also has the word "cloud" in his name. This is the origin of the word cloud. Now we can see that Degang Guo's disciples are indeed arranged according to the eight-character family of Yunhe Jiuxiao and Longteng Sihai, and the names like Cao Yunjin, Zhang Yunlei and Qin Xiaoxian come from this. It can be seen that this statement has high credibility.
Another way of saying it is that the name Deyun Society is borrowed from Dexing Society. Dexingshe was a teahouse in the Qing Dynasty, and the owner's name was Liu Dexing. The business of this teahouse is very good, because this Liu Dexing is very clever, providing folk art performances in the teahouse, attracting many tea customers. Deyun Society was originally a folk art performance group, so it borrowed the name Dexing Society and hoped to inherit this traditional performance form.
