Chapter 5 Memories about storytelling

My name is Lao Liu Anyone who can complete an informal relationship with me will no longer call me by my first name, but directly call me "old six".I why (1)?Let's start with storytelling. One, the sixth among the thirty-six heroes in Wagangzhai is Wang Bodang, who ranks the highest among all the handsome men.The eldest Wei Zheng and the third Xu Maogong are Taoist priests, boring; the second Qin Qiong is hypocritical like a woman, with a yellow face that looks like he has hepatitis, boring; If you have a bad temper, you are quite explosive, and you don't have much energy; that is,

It's still like that when you go to the sixth person, with white horses and white robes, superb swordsmanship, occupying mountains as kings, and righteousness beyond the sky. Second, still, the sixth among the thirteen heroes is Wu Yunzhao, the son of a general, and after Zhongliang, he couldn't bear it anymore and came out. I like it.Look at those in front of him, the boss Li Yuanba is an idiot; the second brother Yu Wencheng is not good-looking, and he is always bullied by the third Pei Yuanqing; Married, he didn't even dare to fart, and he surrendered to others; the fourth son, Kuohai, was a bandit from the Taihang Mountains; the fifth son, Wu Tianxi, was ranked higher than the sixth son, but he was not a direct descendant of the elder Wu's family, so he had to return to his family. The old sixth is in charge; it is also arranged at the old sixth's place, and it still seems to be the same.

Three, the sixth of Liangshan's one hundred and eight generals is Lin Chong, the leopard head of Tianxiong star. His role is very important, very important, very important. Fourth, "General of the Yang Family", please see Yang Liulang's bloody and tearful accusation in "Yuanmen Zhanzi": "My eldest brother died in place of King Song, my second brother died in place of Zhao Defang, the third brother stepped on a horse like mud sauce, and the fourth and eighth brothers were lost." Fanbang, the fifth elder brother became a monk, and the seventh younger brother was hurt by Na Renmei, leaving only Yang Liulang, my gold digger.”

Fifth, still in "The General of the Yang Family", Dalang's wife Zhang Jinding (2), Erlang's wife Li Cuiping, Sanlang's wife Hua Siyu, Shiro's wife Luo Saiying, Goro's wife Luo Chanu, Liulang's wife Chai Junping, Qilang's wife Du Jin'e, Xiao Jinrong, the wife of Ba Lang, is the most beautiful daughter-in-law of the sixth son in the family. Regardless of her background, she is the sister of Ba Xian Wang, and she envies the other brothers.By the way, he also has a wife, Dao Wang Lanying, who is very skilled in martial arts and helps him eliminate powerful enemies.

Sixth, to sum up, the sixth child is the best, so I call myself the sixth child. talk about book reviews I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about storytelling. Now there is a radio station that starts at 12:30 noon and broadcasts Liu Lanfang's song continuously.One day when I was sitting in a taxi, I suddenly heard the familiar and passionate Liu's storytelling on the radio, and I was immediately confused.The car arrived at the destination, this time I haven't finished talking, I wish I could go further. What I heard today was Yue Fei's first confrontation with Jin Bing in Bapan Mountain, and Jin Yahu, the owl under the command of Dalang Lord Nianhan, took the initiative to invite Ying.Anyone who has listened to a lot of storytelling knows that this must be a character who commits crimes and suffers death.

What is interesting is Liu Lanfang's artistic expression.She first said that Jin Yahu was as tall as his shoulders and round his waist, and that he was using heavy weapons. She said that such a fighter with extraordinary physical strength must not confront him head-on, or the weapon would have to be knocked off. Then, when the fight started, Yue Fei had a head-to-head confrontation with others, but it was the poor Jin Yahu who was knocked off by the weapon... Before he had a face-to-face encounter, he killed Jin Yahu by his horse.What a great lining!In the dictionary of literary creation, this kind of statement is called "dragging and diarrhea".

Then his younger brother Yin Yahu came up crying and shouting... But their parents were very fertile, and Iron Yahu and Bronze Yahu were also waiting behind. The Battle of Bapan Mountain was Yue Fei's first attempt to develop his work. At this time, his silver saddle was like a white horse, and he was not ashamed to be the best in the world (3).Liu Lanfang used "the majesty of a hundred steps, the evil spirit of ten thousand feet" to describe this young general who first appeared in front of the mighty Wanyan tribe's Fanbing.Please note that the adjective "prestige of a hundred steps, evil spirit of ten thousand feet" only appears twice in the entire upper part.

Bapan Mountain, Qinglong Mountain, Aihua Mountain, Niutoushan Mountain, and several hills, it is easy to shake the mountains, but it is difficult to shake the Yue family's army. It is said that "the majesty of a hundred steps, the evil spirit of ten thousand feet" appeared twice in the first part. It is by no means just talking about it, but an accurate statistic when I was most obsessed with storytelling.At that time, it was only trivial to be able to recite the name of the Eight Great Hammers, or to call "Lang Zhu" twice like the noseless military strategist Ha Michi.Crazy as I am, I can almost retell the entire book, and immerse myself in it to start scientific research.

For example, how heavy is Yue Yun's hammer?Liu Lanfang didn't say it clearly, but the hammer of the silver marble weighed 300 catties, and the hammer of the golden marble weighed 350 catties. Based on Yue Yun's performance in front of these two opponents, it can be known that the weight of his hammer is between these two. between numbers.Another example, what is the weapon with the longest name in the whole set?Let me tell you, it is Qin Hui's nephew Wang Dapeng's "Serrated Flying Sickle and Door Knife". "Eight Ring Dulong Baosho" kills the invincible barbarian Chi Liqing.

Don't blame me for being so perverted. In those days, Xixiazi was the only entertainment tool for ordinary people in China. What else could we do besides listening to storytelling? In my memory, Liu Lanfang was the first to broadcast traditional storytelling on the radio (it seems to be Anhui People's Broadcasting Station). It was also a sunny day: after school at noon, he ran home faster than Ronaldo. Turning from one station to another, holding the rice bowl, listening to the crooked neck.If it is late after school, there is no need to worry about running wildly, because the voice of Liu Lanfang is heard from every house, walking slowly, without missing a word.Her storytelling has nourished a whole country.

It's time to talk about high pets. Gao Chong, this hero whose life is as brilliant as fireworks and dies as swiftly as a meteor, only played twice in Qian Cai's (5), and only aired for three consecutive days in Liu Lanfang's, but he won the title of "Supreme" Spirit, will always live in my heart, forever, forever. On the way Niu Gao escorted the grain and grass to Niutoushan, a general wearing a golden helmet and armor, got off a yellow puma, and held a tiger-headed golden gun in his hand stopped the way, and easily took Zheng Huai and Zhang Kui away. , Niu Gao took it down, and then told them it was a joke. He is Gao Chong, after Kaiping King Gao Huaide, with family-inherited marksmanship, full of loyalty, majesty of a hundred steps, and fierce aura of ten thousand feet. After a bright and light appearance, Gao Chong and the three of them became brothers, urging the troops to advance, looking forward to Niutoushan. In the battle of the horse riding company battalion, Gao Chong was like a tiger running over a flock of sheep, picking golden flower bones with spears, whipping silver flower bones, shooting copper flower bones, and killing iron flower bones, and then, it was time for me to He picked eight tackles in a row, no matter Song Jun or Fan Bing, they all gave him a thumbs-up, and then, the ninth tackle rushed down the mountain, and General Gao turned over twice in a row He couldn't move his wrist, and then, the idiot Jin Jiang Ha Tielong who was in charge of the pulley ordered the tenth pulley to be put down... ...I can't go on. When Liu Lanfang talked about this passage, he recited a crooked poem in a sad tone—— Die for your country and go to war, Loyalty can grow day by day. Although the tackle is broken and dead, It's a pity that the general's horse is not good. It's a pity that the general's horse is not good.Yes, I wish I could become a horse as hard as a rock, without sweating, without weak legs, and without paralysis. Together with General Gao, I can withstand the ten thousand-jin iron block until the long cart breaks through. At that moment in Helan Mountain. When Gao Chong died tragically, Niu Gao yelled, and immediately passed out from crying. The action of "crying and fainting" happened to the rough and straightforward General Niu Gao, which is even more obvious.I was eating lunch when I heard this passage, and I choked up immediately, crying hard. "Weeping and fainting" appeared three times in the first part, once as above, once when Kang Wang Zhao Gou, who was the godson of Jin Wushu at that time, cried when he thought of his ancestors when worshiping his ancestors at Wanyan's house, and once was Lu Wenlong, the general with two guns After stabbing Yue Fei's hair Xiao Tang Huai to death, Yue Fei passed out on the battlefield.When it comes to the lower part, the foolish ruler misleads the country, the treacherous ministers are in power, the mountains and rivers are lost, the heroes are doomed, and the whole book will be weeping and fainting. Just like "The Empire Strikes Back" is the "Star Wars" series, "Legend of the Magic Palace" is the darkest episode in the Indiana Jones series, and the lower part is also the darkest of all traditional storytelling. Lian Yuefei's general Shi Quan Assassinating Qin Hui at Zhong'an Bridge would have been ruined by a dog slave of the Qin Mansion. Miss Yinping is Yue Fei's daughter and Zhang Xian's wife. After her father and husband were murdered, she was dispatched to Yunnan with her family and was molested by the messenger. Miss Yinping committed suicide in anger.When I heard this section, I already had the feeling of suffocation. That is, in this round, Liu Lanfang made a superficial analysis and said that the real murderer who killed Yue Fei was Gaozong Zhao Gou.Because he didn't want Yue Fei to win consecutive victories and bring back the second emperor, so that he would lose the throne.Liu Lanfang's original words were "Gao Zong and Zhao Gou also kept an eye on it", I think the criticism is not enough.In fact, before she made this analysis, I had already seen the clues.It's a pity that Liu Lanfang didn't dig deeper into the mystery. In the second part, Niu Gao's son, "Golden Retriever Tai Sui" Niu Tongye visits the Qin Mansion to assassinate Qin Hui, but in the Phoenix Pavilion, he meets Qin Lu, the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion, and Qin Hui's second wife, Mei Niang, for a private meeting.From the point of view of class analysis, we must agree with whatever the enemy opposes, and from the point of view of human liberation, this is also a pair of men and women who pursue free love, but under the words of Liu Lanfang, these two people have become adulterers and adulterers , was killed by Niu Tong without blinking an eye.This is also where I slandered Liu Lanfang. However, in any case, I would like to express my respect and thanks to Ms. Liu Lanfang. After that, Liu Lanfang talked about "The General of the Yang Family", and Shan Tianfang, who belongs to the Anshan Quyi Troupe with her, presented his gluttonous feast to the Chinese people. According to a certain theory, the traditional writing of the three characters "Shan Tianfang" implies twelve mouths, and Teacher Shan can indeed speak.Although there are no detailed statistics, there should be no dispute that he is the most prolific storyteller.However, I don't like the book Mr. Shan said very much, and this is mainly his first book that spoiled my appetite. The most criticized thing in this book is that the heroes are ranked according to their abilities, and then those who rank lower can only be beaten by the people in front (except for the enemies of the second brother Yuwen Chengdu and the third brother Pei Yuanqing) , although this approach is clear at a glance, it is also a kind of Fairplay, but there are no waves and suspense at all, and it seems very boring. What's more, there are many incomprehensible places in the book.I think that when dealing with any literary and artistic works, the bottom line for the audience to appreciate is: you can make ridiculous mistakes, but you can't make ridiculous mistakes.The problem is here, it is full of mistakes that are below the average IQ.For example, Cheng Yaojin gave the emperor's seat to Li Mi, a little boy, and the brothers in Wagangzhai bowed their heads to the Li Tang Dynasty, and even turned against each other at the expense of brothers.When I heard that Shan Xiongxin was taken down and beheaded by the former brothers of Jiajialou, the depression in my heart reached the extreme. Nevertheless, Mr. Shan's voice of tobacco and alcohol brought us a lot of joy.For example, when he said that a big man must "throw his cheeks and shake his big molars" when he eats, when he said that Luo Cheng must "piss off the little pepper, don't let a single head of garlic" and so on. Although the language is monotonous, repetition is also a kind of beautiful. When Li Yuanba attacked the allied forces of the 18th Route princes, he made an agreement with the people in Wagangzhai: the generals in Wagangzhai will all plant a small flag, and when the time comes, they will pretend to fight and let them go.As a result, the old man Xiongkuohai was covered with small flags all over his body, including his mount, and he called out to Li Yuanba in a majestic way, making Li Yuanba, an idiot, laugh when he saw it; , To fight to the death, Li Yuanba went in without knowing it, but at the moment of killing Shan Xiongxin, he found a small flag stuck on the tail of Shan Xiongxin's pony, and stopped immediately. I don't know which brother saved the old single's life; The martial arts were too far behind, and the iron gun was bent and crooked by the golden hammer. Li Yuanba felt a little sorry, and went to stroke the iron gun with his hand, and the iron gun returned to its original shape (6). In my mind, Mr. Yuan Kuocheng is definitely the one who sits firmly on the top spot in the Chinese storytelling circle. Mr. Yuan is from a family of storytellers, his uncles Yuan Jieting and Yuan Jieying, and his father Yuan Jiewu are collectively known as the "Three Masters of the Yuan Family", and his eldest uncle Yuan Jieting is also known as "Mei Lanfang of the Storyteller".Yuan Kuocheng is the ninth generation of storytelling masters and the highest seniority in the contemporary storytelling circles. He started talking about new books in the early 1950s and was the first person to talk about new books. Teacher Yuan Kuocheng's storytelling is really nothing to say, my mother's education level is not high, but she listened to Yuan Kuocheng's talk about Zhuge Liang's tongue war against Confucianism, and she also listened with great interest.Women who sing opera are afraid of "Si Fan" and men are afraid of "Night Run", and storytellers are probably most afraid of the literary drama of "Words against Confucians".Teacher Yuan can speak so profoundly in simple terms, with Zhang and Zhang, which is not something ordinary soldiers can do.In the second half of Zhao Yun's death, Yuan Kuocheng spent a whole chapter reviewing the glorious and great life of General Zhao Yun, which can be called a very complete critical biography of Zhao Yun. There are too many praises for Mr. Yuan. For example, someone concluded that his storytelling has the characteristics of "beautiful, pretty, handsome, and crisp"; Comment on the books he talked about; someone said it more directly: "Listening to Mr. Yuan's storytelling is really like watching a movie or a drama." In fact, before giving a speech on traditional storytelling, Teacher Yuan broadcast a lot of "Red Storytelling", "Fire King Kong", "Red Rock", "Red and Loyal", "Lin Haixueyuan", "Storm", etc., like some classic passages such as "Xu Yunfeng Goes to a Banquet" ", "Xiao Fei Buys Medicine", "Sister Jiang Gets on the Boat", etc., are even more popular. But in my mind, Teacher Yuan's greatest works are "Shuibo Liangshan" and its sequel "Shenzhou Lei". When I listened to "Water in Liangshan", it was extremely shocking.Because its plot completely subverts Shi Naian's, but it is more exciting, more ups and downs, more legendary, and more relieved.Like Xiao Li Guanghuarong's three-branched goose-tailed snake-fronted arrow, you can't find it in the book, but in Yuan Kuocheng's storytelling "Water Pond Liangshan", it is definitely the most legendary one, which actually involves Houyi shooting the sun. Arrows set the country.Before Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng, his old man had already given us a taste of martial arts and rivers and lakes. In my opinion, "Shui Mo Liang Shan" is greater than the following six aspects—— One, the Liangshan hero in the former is a happy hero in the world, while the Liangshan hero in the latter is the devil in the world of Yin and Yang. Second, the former incorporates several elements of martial arts novels, so it is more Jianghu and more in line with the aesthetic needs of ordinary people, while the latter basically meets the political needs of the imperial court. Third, the former focused on shaping a group of civilian heroes from the market, such as the short-footed tiger Wang Ying, the magician Jiang Jing, and Du Qian who touched the sky. It was the time when the drum was on the flea, starting with the robbery of the purple gold and eight treasures luminous pot, which drove the development of the plot of the entire "Shui Po Liangshan" and became a pivotal figure.And these people basically have no role in the latter except for a few opening poems, and the latter devotes all the space to princes and generals who are born in fine varieties.Although Shi Qian stole Jia once, Dai Dunbang still painted him as a half body in one of his 108 embroidered portraits. Fourth, the former has given enough respect to the opposite of Liangshan, such as Liang Zhongshu of Daming Mansion, Zhu Yuanwai of Zhujiazhuang, and the Four Great Monsters of Jianghu, etc., are also top-notch heroes, increasing the difficulty of opponents, so that they can be conquered pleasure.The villains in the latter almost uniformly become the stepping stones for Liangshan heroes to achieve fame, with no characteristics and no shining points. Fifth, the former regards women as human beings, especially the description of the love between Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang and short-legged tiger Wang Ying, which is many times better than the latter (because the latter has no love at all, but just uses Hu Sanniang as Song Jiang The tool to fulfill the promise was rewarded to the pervert Wang Ying, and the denominator is zero, so this ratio is meaningless).Many literati in China do not know whether they have suffered from women or have been angered by women, and have done many stupid things, such as Shi Naian married Hu Sanniang to Wang Ying, Xu Zhonglin (7) inserted Deng Chanyu, a flower, into the soil Xing grandson this grandson.Damn, let me write it, no matter what, it should be the tall and mighty Yang Jian and the second elder brother Yang Jian, or have a sister-brother relationship with the sunny boy Na Zha. Sixth, to sum up, "Shuibo Liangshan" is more than great. Yuan Kuocheng's book is not only calm and atmospheric, but also very interesting. The following are the six interesting fragments in his book that I sorted out. One, Jiang Gan stole a section of the book, Qunying Hui Zhou Yu was as drunk as the sixth child, and everyone else was worried about him. Yuan Kuocheng came to a section of the book, saying that they drink with a heart-changing pot, poor What Jiang Gan drank was strong alcohol, while what Zhou Dudu drank was "similar to the current malted milk". Second, in a certain restaurant, some perverts were about to molest a girl who was singing, when they suddenly heard a shout from downstairs: "Stop!" Then they heard the sound of stairs, and a person came upstairs.The strange thing is that this person's footsteps are not as well-proportioned as ours, but fast and slow, high and low. If you look carefully, it is actually the melody of "General Order".This brave hero is the short-footed tiger Wang Ying. Because of his bad legs and feet, he walks like playing folk music. Three, the little overlord Zhou Tong snatched the marriage, and the flamboyant monk Lu Zhishen took the top of the vat for the beautiful woman.Zhou Tong and the bandit brothers went straight to the bridal chamber after drinking, chattering, and lusting into the gold tent. Tong kicked and fell to the ground—then where is the boat? That’s Lu Dazhishen’s foot!” Fourth, when Meng Kang, a handsome man Yufangan, was a guest in a certain cottage, he was taken by the village owner's sister.This is a girl who looks five big and three thick, how can she be so dafa?Please look at the pair of embroidered shoes worn by this eldest lady. They are all embroidered with the word "long snake", "two dragons playing with pearls" and "ten super formations of ambush on all sides". Fifth, Zhongdai Zong’s armored horse belongs to the god of strange chaos and power, but in "Shui Po Liangshan", what he relies on to become the god of the gods is an animal between a horse, a mule and a donkey, and it runs fast.Li Kui, the black whirlwind, was very greedy, but he always made small mistakes, so Mr. Dai punished him.It turned out that this animal was the opposite of a normal mount, it would stop when it said "drive", and it would run like hell when it said "wow". As a result, it tossed Hei Xuanfeng.However, in "Shenzhou Lei", Song Jiang once sent Dai Zong on a business trip, and mentioned "Your Jiama can tie four, then tie four, and if you can tie six, tie six, the sooner the better." There are inconsistencies in "Liangshan", which can be regarded as a small bug in this set of books (8). Sixth, to sum up, Yuan Kuocheng's storytelling is very interesting. Liu Lanfang, Shan Tianfang, Yuan Kuocheng, in their warm voices, I spent my youth. In fact, if you listen to a lot of storytelling, you will find the routines and patterns in it. For example, there will be a silly lucky general in each book, like Niu Gao in the novel, Meng Liang in "The General of the Yang Family", and Cheng Yaojin in the novel. If their good luck is put into modern times, they will definitely win the lottery prize, and their memory is generally bad. They have practiced martial arts for several years and only have a limited number of moves, and these few moves are enough for them to walk in the rivers and lakes without any disadvantages. Among them, the best What I heard was Meng Liang's tricks: chopping the forehead, piercing the eyes, chopping the ribs, and chopping the meat with a mallet, deliberately bullying the southerners who can't speak well. The names of characters in traditional storytelling also have a tendency to be facial. Many people know that he is a good or bad person as soon as they hear the name.The most unbearable are the eight generals of Qin Hui's family: long-tailed dog, short-tailed wolf, iron fence, no leakage of soup, no bell, iron bell, bad womb, and a bag of pus. It fully reveals its sinful and unfortunate fate. And what puzzles me the most in all the storytelling is the strong blood of Guan Yu and Master Guan. No matter how many generations are passed on, the genetics will not change. Yue Sheng, Dao Wang Junke in "Water Pond Liangshan", and Dao Guan Sheng in "Water Pond Liangshan", whether they are direct descendants or offshoots, all have the same lying silkworm eyebrows, Danfeng eyes and complexion like jujubes, which makes people can't help but admire their DNA. excellent.Moreover, their weapons and equipment are also passed down from generation to generation: the red rabbit and the rouge horse under the crotch, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife in the palm.Whenever I see such a character appearing on the stage, I feel very relieved and sigh in my heart: Master Guan's spirit of loyalty will last forever. truly nourish The real nourishment that their storytelling gives us is that kind of "very Chinese" chivalrous demeanor and heroism, which supports the spiritual world of a little man, just like Yang Guo's sudden awakening-"In an instant, When Huang Rong taught him to read on Peach Blossom Island when he was young, the phrases of "kill one's life for benevolence, sacrifice one's life for righteousness" became very clear in his mind. Many thoughts that he would never think of or pay attention to at ordinary times suddenly became very clear. When his mind was raised, his whole body seemed to grow taller, and his face was radiant, as if he was a different person." (9) In At the end of this article, let me select the top ten heroic scenes in traditional storytelling—highly favored and tackled, the unrivaled hero loses his way; Zhao Yun and Chang Banpo rescued Adou, and killed Cao Bing all worried; Yang Qilang rescued Youzhou, and killed all four sects in all directions; Yang Liulang fought Han Chang and Han Yanshou, and the two cherished each other. When he was born, the Henan farmer's son speared the declining nobleman Xiaoliang King; In the world, Zhujiazhuang and Hezhuang changed colors; the eight sledgehammers made trouble in Zhuxian Town, Guan Ling smashed through the long snake formation; the flower gun general Luo Song untied the life-and-death button of Li Yuanba and Luo Shixin with one shot, and one hero and one hero completed the only one. An intimate encounter. Note: (1) The real reason I was called "Old Six" was just because I was ranked sixth in the university dormitory. Later, this name was gradually called out, which also led to my preference for the number six. In many cases , would rather distort the truth or cut the feet to fit the shoes, but also make six.This obsessive-compulsive habit abounds in this book.
