A Study of Innovation-oriented New Traditional Crosstalk Writing Styles-- Taking “Baofu” and Character Relationships as Examples
Abstract
As social and cultural changes and the evolution of audience aesthetics, traditional crosstalk is also facing the need to update its content and form. By means of synthesis and theoretical analysis, this paper explores that while inheriting the essence of traditional crosstalk, crosstalk as an art form needs to be adapted to the needs of modern audiences through innovations in jokes and character relationships, in order to adapt to the innovation and development of modern society. While analyzing the core elements of traditional crosstalk, including the use of jokes, the construction of character relationships, and the reflection of social and cultural backgrounds, the paper points out the limitations that these elements face in modern times, such as the timeliness of the content, the rigidity of the form, the regionality of the language, the singularity of the themes, and the conservatism of performance. On this basis, the essay proposes a series of innovative strategies to evolve traditional crosstalk while meeting the contemporary audience's aesthetic needs, including content reflecting the spirit of the times, breakthroughs in traditional performance forms, overcoming linguistic locality, expanding thematic diversity, innovative performance styles, and strengthening interactivity with the audience
