Baoding has been mentioned many times in Guo Degang’s cross talk. The main reasons are as follows:

First: Baoding is the birthplace of culture, and there are many materials that are good jokes.

In fact, Baoding has a very important position in North China. Baoding is not only one of the birthplaces of literature and art, but also has many historical stories in the area. There are many historical stories in traditional cross talk originating from the Qing Dynasty. Baoding was once used as the capital, so there are a lot of materials that can be used in Baoding. In addition, Baoding has many representatives of gourmet food. Many crosstalk jokes come from daily life, so Baoding is a good source of material, both for talking about Hebei Bangzi and for donkey meat roasting.

In addition, Baoding dialect itself is a very representative dialect. In fact, Baoding dialect is not easy to understand. It sounds a bit rustic at first glance, and because it is incomprehensible, it can also be used to pretend to be a dialect. Foreign languages, such as using Baoding dialect as German to fool the audience when speaking in cross talk, are actually a way of showing off one's baggage.

Second: Guo Degang has special feelings for Baoding.

Although Guo Degang is not from Baoding, he can be regarded as Baoding's son-in-law. Because Guo Degang met his wife Wang Hui when he went to Baoding to perform, and it was love at first sight. Therefore, Baoding has a different meaning to Guo Degang. Baoding is like Guo Degang's second hometown, so besides Beijing, the second city he mentions most is Baoding.

And crosstalk actors really like to find jokes in their lives. Their sons, wives, family members, partners, etc. can all be used as the protagonists of jokes. We can often hear ridicule about Yu Qian's family and Yu Qian himself in Guo Degang's cross talk. And Guo Degang's family will also become the protagonist of the joke, so Baoding will definitely be mentioned often. Moreover, Baoding is like a blessed place for Guo Degang, so he will mention Baoding intentionally or unintentionally.
