The sadness and joy come before the words are spoken, which makes people’s temperament unable to be translated independently: Before you speak, your sad and joyful feelings are expressed first, making the listeners unable to control their own feelings. This way, It's beyond ordinary skills.

1. I read "Tokyo Menghua Lu" and "Old Martial Arts Records". At that time, there were dozens of people who acted in historical novels. Since then, his name has not been heard. In recent years, Liu Jingting has been called Liu Jingting's storyteller. Liu Jingting was from Yangzhi Taizhou, his surname was Cao. In the fifteenth year of his life, he was a ruthless rogue, who committed crimes and deserved death. He changed his surname to Liu, and became a storyteller in Xuyi City, and he was able to impress the people in the city. After a while, while crossing the river, a Confucian scholar Mo Houguang saw him in the clouds and said: "This is a clever change that can make his skills shine." So he said: "Although storytelling is a small skill, it must describe the temperament and the customs. Just like You Meng, he shakes his head and sings, and then he can achieve his goal. "Jingting retreats and concentrates his energy, concisely pondering, and achieves nothing after a month." Sheng said: "Zi's words can make people happy and tremble with joy." When the month came again, Sheng said: "Zi's words can make people burst into tears." When it was about the month again, Sheng said: "Zi said Before it develops, the sadness and joy are in front of it, making people's temperament unable to control themselves, which is the result of skill. "From then on, it was spread to Hangzhou and Jinling, and its name spread among the Jin gentry. Sitting alone in a pavilion in a Huatang hotel, competing with others to show off their skills, is all a sign of good deeds. Going south from Ningnan, Commander Wan wanted to marry Ningnan and paid tribute to him in the shogunate. Ning Nan thought it was too late to meet, so she kept it a secret. The army also dared not honor the pavilion with its bibliography. Ningnan didn't know how to read, so all the essays were revised by the Confucian scholars behind the scenes, and they tried their best to refer to the past to prove the present. Ningnan was not happy with it. Jingting's ears and mouth are familiar, and those who come from Weixiang's loopers all agree with Ningnan. I was ordered to go to Jinling. At that time, everyone in the court was afraid of Ningnan. When they heard that his messenger was coming, they all bowed and bowed. The prime minister and the following people made him sit on the south side and called him General Liu. The little man in the market once met you in the pavilion and whispered from the side of the road: "That's why we are all storytellers, and we are as rich as this now!" What country will be destroyed, Ningnan will die. When Jingting lost all his resources and became as poor as before, he returned to the streets to take care of his old business. Since Jingting has been in the army for a long time, he has witnessed all his valiant and cunning heroes, killed people and fled, been separated and reunited, broke up his family and lost his country. He also has the local accents and local customs from all over the world. He hears them every time he speaks. , when people hear it, it may be like swords and iron cavalry, rustling in the air, or like the wind howling and rain weeping, the birds mourning and the beasts are frightened, the hatred of the country's subjugation suddenly arises, the sound of the sandalwood board is colorless, and there are many words that cannot be said.

Translation:

1. I read two Song Dynasty notes, "Dongting Menghua Lu" and "Wulin Old Events", and I know that there were dozens of storytellers at that time. Since then, the name of the storyteller has not been known; only in recent years have people unanimously praised Liu Jingting's storytelling skills. Liu Jingting was a native of Taizhou, Yangzhou Prefecture, and his surname was Cao. When he was 15 years old, he changed his surname to Liu because he was ruthless, fierce and cunning, and should be sentenced to death for violating the criminal law. He fled to Xuyi City to tell stories to people. By then he was able to impress and impress the citizens. Later, when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, a scholar named Mo Houguang in Songjiang Mansion met him and said, "This man is smart and flexible, which can help him gain fame with his acting skills." So he said to Liu Jingting, "Although storytelling is a small thing, However, you must also outline the character and mood of the character, be familiar with the local customs, and be good at sarcastic words and singing like You Meng, and then you can achieve something." When Liu Jingting returned home, he concentrated on his studies and studied hard. After practicing hard and thinking over and over again, I went to Mo Houguang's place after a month. Mo Houguang said: "Your storytelling can make people happy and laugh endlessly." Another month passed, and Mo Houguang said: "Your storytelling can make people lament and cry." Another month passed. In the month of August, Mo Houguang said with admiration: "You expressed your sadness and joy before you spoke, making the audience unable to control their emotions. This is beyond ordinary skills." From then on, Liu Jingting went to Yangzhou, Hangzhou and Jinling to tell stories. , famous among dignitaries. At grand gatherings in luxurious halls and sitting alone in leisurely pavilions, people competed to invite Liu Jingting to perform his skills. Everyone felt satisfied from the bottom of their hearts and said that he performed well. When Ningnan Hou Zuo Liangyu crossed the Yangtze River and headed south, Du Hongyu, the governor of Anhui, wanted to make friends with Zuo Liangyu and introduced Liu Jingting to Zuo Liangyu's office. Zuo Liangyu thought it was too late to meet Liu Jingting, so he asked Liu Ting to participate in deciding important military secrets. Military officials did not dare to treat Liu Jingting as a storyteller. Zuo Liangyu has never read a book. All official documents are written with great effort by the writers behind the scenes to polish the words and sentences, citing the past to prove the present. Zuo Liangyu is not satisfied with it. But what Liu Ting said with his usual ears and mouth, which was derived from the common sayings in the Xiebuli alleys, did not disappoint Zuo Liangyu. Liu Jingting was ordered to go to Nanjing. At that time, all the ministers in the Southern Ming Dynasty were afraid of Zuo Liangyu. When they heard that he had sent someone, they all treated him with courtesy. Officials below the prime minister all asked Liu Ting to sit in the honorable seat facing south and called him "Zuo Liangyu". General Liu and Jingting also felt at ease. Those citizens who used to be indistinguishable from Liuting on the street said privately on the roadside: "This man used to be a storyteller with us, but now he knows how rich he is! Soon the Southern Ming Dynasty fell and Zuo Liangyu died. . Liu Jingting's assets were almost spent, and he was as poor as before, so he took to the streets and resumed his old business.

Liu Jingting has been in the army for a long time. He has seen with his own eyes those who are tyrannical and cunning and do not abide by the law, those who commit murder and are on the run, those who are homeless, the joys and sorrows of their country, and the country's destruction and family destruction. He has also seen the dialects of various places and the preferences of the people. and advocating are all things he often sees and hears. Every word he speaks makes some people sound like the collision of swords and guns, the rustling of cavalry rising into the sky, and some like the howling of a strong wind and the wailing of a long rain, or the sound of birds and magpies. The screams of the beasts are so frightening that people immediately feel the hatred of the country's subjugation. They cannot hear the accompaniment of the music clearly. His artistic achievements are beyond what Mo Houguang's words can describe.
