Do you know the origin of the sketch? When did it spread?

In fact, the source of this art is the folk songs and dances that appear in life! China's first poetry collection, The Book of Songs, contains "wind", "elegance" and "ode". Among them, the realistic works of "hungry people sing about their food" and "laborers sing about their things" are mentioned, which is also the source of realistic poetry creation in later generations in China! After singing and dancing, drama came into being. The so-called sketch is just a short play, so the sketch originated from drama and developed. For example, the "opening scene" before the theater performance, the "small break scene" in "Feng Xiangxi", the "clown" who appears on the stage to change props or let the main actors rest in the circus, and the pantomime "Kill the goose that lays the golden egg" all meet the requirements of sketch.
