Degang Guo: Does cross talk have to be educational?
There is a literary theory, or more broadly speaking, an artistic theory, which particularly emphasizes the educational significance of art. Degang Guo, a cross talk master, disagrees with this statement. In his famous passage "On the Current Situation of Crosstalk in Fifty Years", he said: Crosstalk must be of educational significance, and it is a big mistake to use it to promote anything. This is an inhuman statement. /kloc-Crosstalk started more than 0/00 years ago. Why? Actors earn money to eat, which is the skill of shaving and pedicure; The audience laughed. Especially now, the times are developing and society is progressing; People who lack money, cars, houses and morals lack everything. When you enter this room, I can't give it to them. I promise you can forget these troubles this afternoon and be happy, happy and happy. In this era, if there is such a place that makes you happy, it is hard to find it! Who says crosstalk must have educators? Who said that? Educational significance? What to learn when listening to this cross talk; After listening, go out and surprise the horse-it's impossible. China Peking Opera Theatre sang "Three Forks". After reading it, what education did you get? -What's your education? China Acrobatic Troupe, a bear juggler, finished watching it. Have you been educated? Fifteen people ride a bike. Did you get an education after reading it? You violated the traffic rules, you know? I don't approve of cross talk to educate people. Every paragraph should be instructive! There are too many forms of human education. Turn on the stereo! Give it a break! It didn't hurt anyone, so let it bring some happiness to everyone. I feel very good. There is no need to be so demanding, is there? Degang Guo, an actor who is not a theorist, is he right? Let's admit that he is right without any objection. Crosstalk almost died at the hands of our generation. Thanks to Degang Guo, this traditional cross talk art has revived. If nothing else, the magic of Degang Guo's revival of cross talk lies in his refusal to admit that cross talk should be educational. However, is Degang Guo's cross talk instructive? Let's not talk about his "On the Current Situation of Crosstalk in Fifty Years"-this paragraph is so special and enlightening that it is simply a paper on Crosstalk. What we want to ask is, are his other general cross talks instructive? Is there any educational significance in his cross talk that tells a joke and everyone laughs? I think there is. Crosstalk provides us with a brand-new way to look at a phenomenon of life; In this way, that kind of life phenomenon is particularly ridiculous. We understand this unique way of looking at life. In a broad sense, we are educated. However, education in this sense is completely different from the "educational meaning" in general literary theory. The educational significance in the latter sense often refers to instilling an orthodox ideology into the audience, audience and readers through artistic means including cross talk. In this respect, Degang Guo is right, it is indeed inhuman and reactionary, because it fundamentally cuts off the creativity and imagination of art and declares an established ideology as the ultimate truth-this is the proper meaning of the word "reactionary". No government, political system or ideology should believe that they are more important than art; The role of art is more basic and important than ever-changing ideology and politics.
