Tianqiao is a place where old Beijing used to practice love, and it is a noisy place to practice hundreds of plays, so it has become the place that best reflects Beijing's folk customs for hundreds of years. Speaking of flyovers, some elderly old Beijingers may remember Bao Saner wrestling with banners, "Flying trapeze" playing with thick bars, "Big Gold Teeth" pulling foreign films, Jiao Dehai talking about cross talk, and all kinds of Beijing snacks and strange rubbish ... Even if you are a young man, you know little about the history of the old flyover, at least you can say a few common sayings about it.

Tianqiao is the birthplace of many folk arts. Artists perform on flyovers, usually outdoors. There are five or six hundred folk artists who have studied, sold, spread and lived here, which can be divided into two categories: jugglers and rappers. Acrobatics includes acrobatics and martial arts, and rap includes drama, quyi and other projects. Among them, the most famous "Eight Monsters of Tianqiao" is well-known because of its stunts and weird words and deeds. It is no exaggeration to say that many folk artists in Beijing walked out of the overpass. Such as crosstalk master Hou, storyteller Lian Kuoru, Peking Opera Qin Opera calligrapher Guan, Quyi celebrity, crosstalk performer Xin, drama critic, crosstalk performer and acrobat.
