Degang Guo is neither a master nor an artist. He is an innovator. The performance form and content of early crosstalk performers were relatively official, and many contents were strictly controlled, and the audience was relatively small. Traditional crosstalk performers paid attention to the rules of having names and surnames. Although he studied under Hou, his methods were wild and his teaching methods were novel. He also founded Deyun Society, which spread cross talk Shang Yan to all parts of the world and made great contributions to cross talk.
As far as crosstalk ability is concerned, Degang Guo is somewhat similar to the hero in martial arts novels. He combines the strengths of various families and can learn to tease and sing. We don't just like Degang Guo. His morality and character have nothing to do with us. We just like his cross talk and the happiness he brings us. Moreover, after excellent personal ability, I also have a good eye for selecting apprentices and cultivating apprentices. Many new generation crosstalk performers are from Deyun Society.
The phonograph world needs more new people to create. Crosstalk, as a cultural demand, needs to be preserved and circulated. In addition to the predecessors like Degang Guo, more new people appeared. The status has been recognized by fans, and more talents will appear in the creation. There is no such thing as a terminator.
