Chapter 22 The Eight Great Monsters of Beiping Flyover

When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun in Beiping, I plan to spend ten thousand and eight thousand a day, and there are places for you to spend it. You only have eight cents in your pocket, and you can have enough fun. This is the difference between Beiping and Ninghu. The place of Jinhan.Friends of the proletariat, the favorite place to go is Tianqiao. They eat and play at Tianqiao. Before the Anti-Japanese War, if you spend a piece of ocean, you will be rich! In addition to watching Shen San wrestling and Bao San playing Zhongfan when visiting Tianqiao, even poets, scholars, celebrities and celebrities occasionally set foot on Tianqiao, they also have to visit the venue of the Eight Great Monsters and listen to two pieces of stuff!Back then, Bao Guanglin, the president of the Finance and Business College, and Chen Lansheng, the provost of the Railway University, were both frequent visitors to the bridge, and they strolled there whenever they had nothing to do.Bao Guanglin Xueyun Lifei pretends to be Qin Qiong who sells horses, and walks a few steps crookedly, which can be regarded as a unique skill; Chen Lansheng uses a small voice to learn how to be poor and not afraid, and sing ten flowers to support the posture, which is really lifelike.A couple of days ago, some old Beijingers got together and talked about which heroes the Eight Eccentrics of Tianqiao were.

Some of the Eight Eccentrics of Tianqiao never reveal their real names. They think that it is already insulting to the clan to make a living by performing arts. .In fact, his surname is Jiao, and he was in the same family as Jiao Dehai, who talked about cross talk, five hundred years ago.Da Jinya made jokes about Jiao Dehai all day long, and Jiao's mouth was also unforgiving. Once in a cross talk scene, Da Jinya's last name was unintentionally revealed.Da Jinya's surname is indeed Jiao Ru and his name is Ertuzi. As for the scientific name, Jiao Dehai refuses to say.Da Jinya's foreign film, while talking and singing, not only has a sonorous tone, but also has humorous postures. It describes the stupidity and ignorance of the big brothers of the Boxer Regiment, and the viciousness and wantonness of the red light, as if you were in the scene.In addition, he has more than ten large photos of the scene, which are much clearer and more realistic than the flip-flop photos in various books later viewed from the magnified diorama.Later, a professor of modern history at Peking University, Professor Zhu, borrowed a set to make a photocopy, and the price was two hundred silver dollars. Whenever Da Jinya talked about this matter, he would beam with joy and be proud of it!

His real name is Li Qingmao, and he was born in an authentic Liyuanxing class. He and Xusheng Gao Qingkui are brothers with the same Qing character. .He appeared on the stage in full bloom, as long as there was a mistake on the stage with his fellow apprentices, not only would he not let others go around, but he would even stir up trouble on the spot, so his popularity became worse and worse. As time passed, no one dared to provoke him, and he ended up living in Tianqiao. .Although he doesn't have a complete set of costumes, he can recycle waste, use cigarette boxes as gauze hats, and paste colored paper to protect the back of the flag. People never tire of hearing it.Someone sat around several times (asked for money several times), and kept hearing that the stalls were closed and the market was closed.At the beginning of Huadeng, he took an apprentice with a broken huqin and a fishing drum board, and played it in the Qingyin small class in the Hanjiatan area of ​​Baishun Hutong.When he met a rich guest who was walking around Mazhangtai, he sometimes imitated Sun Juxian's singing of "Cinnabar Mole", and sometimes imitated Wang Guifen's singing of "Let Chengdu".Occasionally, I sing a piece of "Tao Qing", which is restrained and upright, and the pure wind is evil, which can guard people's hearts.After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the author was still on the side of the road of Guanyin Temple. Seeing him hunchbacked and walking alone, he must have died of old age.

His name was Delu, and he was a flag soldier of the Green Camp. His ten classes could be regarded as one of the best in those days. It's called Juban.Originally, it was a musical instrument played by many people, but Tian Mangzi was ingenious. He made a juban by himself, playing, playing and playing by himself.Not only the flutes and pipes were played together, but also the gongs and drums were beating together, making his mouth, nose and hands and feet so busy.He was sweating profusely from work, and the person watching was also Qu Shi Yirong.Although Tian Mangzi is busy, he plays and sings sonorously, and his rhythm is not chaotic. That's how he got his nickname Tian Mangzi.Back then, Halfei Theater in Beiping was converted into a juggling garden. Chang Xujiu, who sang "Lotus Falling" in the backstage, thought it would be a pity if his stuff was lost, and not all of the guests who listened to juggling had visited the overpass. Mangzi's stall is sure to be a hit.So I talked to Mangzi, and Mangzi said that he was used to serving ordinary traffickers and pawns, his speech was not elegant enough, it was difficult to be elegant, and he still refused to perform on stage in the juggling garden.So until now when Tian Mangzi's Shifan is mentioned, there are still many old people in Peking who have only heard his name but never seen him!

The four words "make wine scold the seat" are the most appropriate words to describe Da Bing Huang. Da Bing Huang only opens the stage to perform after noon every day. The little crab is not drunk. After burning a knife in his belly, he immediately blushes and has a thick neck. When he speaks, It seems that the tongue is half short.His surname is Zhang, and he calls himself Lao Yijun. He has served Jiang Guiti and served as a follower.Wearing a beige velvet short-sleeved mandarin jacket, a pair of leather quick boots, a flag on his shoulder, and a horseshoe made of Gaoyang homespun, he looks like an old-style battalion recruiting stragglers on the bridge.He claimed that the velvet mandarin jacket he was wearing was rewarded by Jiang Chaozong, the old general who beat the White Wolf, and the leather quick boots were rewarded by the guard Jiang Dashuai for breaking through the encirclement. , from the gift of the magistrate.He likes to talk about the battle between Zhiwan and Anhui, vividly and vividly, as if he was in the battle. Sometimes he slipped his tongue, slandered current affairs, slandered, meat and vegetables came together, and the police who should be in charge had to come forward to stop it Outlawed.He was fine, never refuted, kept silent, raised the banner, shifted his position, couldn't walk three or five steps, and the sound of cannons rumbled, he continued his preface, as he said.Even the policeman who banned him huddled in the crowd and listened with gusto!

His surname is Zhou, and he first talked about stand-up comics in Tianqiao. Although Tianqiao has mixed genres, his crosstalk is cold and reserved, unlike Yun Lifei who is full of dirty words, and often bows to ask the audience to avoid him. He is very free to speak freely. firewood.Thriller has a face that the Master sees joy in, and his voice is loud and clear, so his master gave him the stage name of Glamorous.It is said that he is a good-natured chivalrous man by nature, and often donates the money he earns from vending to the poor. Although he does not want people to know about his benevolence, the people who have benefited from it for a long time are all the hungry and poor residents in the nearby area. The nickname Zhou Shanren has been spread.Because of his elegant and tame words, his cross talk later played with Zhang Mazi's partner, which was wonderful.A juggling field was established in Stone Alley, and Zhang Mazi's heart-throb cross talk was listed as the central axis, which was even more popular than the backward Gao Deming and Chu Degui's cross talk on the radio.The Eight Monsters of Tianqiao are the only ones who can rise from the ground to perform in the juggling garden.

Among the eight strange people in Tianqiao, he was the only one who never revealed his surname. Some people said that he had worked in an upright official, piped up the case files in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and was finally reduced to a street performer. He was ashamed of his clan, so he kept his name incognito.Because of his stalwart figure and his love of wearing big flowered waistcoats, he called himself Hua Gouxiong.Although he sometimes talks about cross talk alone, in fact he is best at talking about "Liu Gong Case".Through Liu Yong's trial, he was able to promote and demote the official system of the Qing Dynasty and the officials.Sometimes talking about the secrets of the palace is also anecdotes that have never been heard before.At that time, the owner of Kucha Temple liked to listen to storytelling by Hua Gouxiong the most. He planned to study the history of the Qing Dynasty.Anzhu has several articles about historical facts, which are excavated and deduced from the "Liu Gong case" mentioned by Hua Gouxiong.

He studied vocal music in the former Qing Shengping Administration and received strict training, so he can play almost any musical instrument.He developed a small wind instrument made of bamboo pipes, which has a very strong throughput. He can play it with his nostrils, imitating the singing of birds and the power of beasts.It is not uncommon for him to speak local dialects of various places, such as Su Bai, Jiangbei dialect, Shandong dialect, etc. He can speak very authentic Fuzhou and Guangzhou dialects.For a country bumpkin who has never left the capital, he can speak so many dialects, and they are generally not outrageous, which is really commendable.He later took in two good apprentices, and took them to roam the north and south of the river and settle down in Hankou for the elderly.

Some people say that he is Huang Daizi (Manchu Qing imperial family), but he firmly denies it, and at the same time keeps his name secret, claiming to be poor and not afraid, so everyone also calls him poor and not afraid.Sometimes he seems to be a nobleman in fresh clothes and luxurious shoes, but the next day he may turn into a beggar in all kinds of clothes.Someone asked him why, and he always said that he owed people money for wine, and his clothes and shoes were in the longevity storehouse.He was performing arts on the Tianqiao. As soon as he opened the scene, he first drew a large square on the ground, and wrote out the sub-items that he wanted to talk about that day, one by one. Unexpectedly, his strokes were vigorous and the words were concise. One could tell that he had a very slender belly. Wide, full of educated people.Sometimes he gave lectures based on the social news in the tabloids, and the analysis was humane and reasonable, comparing the present with the past, which seemed absurd at first glance, but after he explained it, everyone admired his sharp eyesight, which is really a bit of a ghost.When Wang Guiyu, a reporter from "Xiaoshibao" in Beiping, wrote squares for "Xiaoshibao" when he was not making a fortune, he often wrote in the newspaper the words of "not afraid of being poor" as a golden rule. , specially went to Tianqiao to see what kind of people are poor and not afraid, and finally became the audience of poor and not afraid!Later, Qiongbufang suddenly disappeared in Tianqiao. Some people said that Qiongbuwei was spotted by a rich man named Zhao in Qingxian County, Tianjin, and was taken away to accompany his old man to wake up and sleep to relieve boredom and enjoy the happiness.So later, there were people who counted the eight monsters on the flyover, and there were only seven monsters after counting, that was to miss the poor and not afraid!
