苏州评话(以下简称评话)作为中国曲艺的一种,经由漫长的历史岁月更迭,形成了独具自身艺术规律的东西,这就是我们所定义的传统评话。传统评话原来应该就是这样的:一位评话艺人独自一人在书台上用灵活的表演手法,讲述(只说不唱)历史、征战、侠义、公案、神怪等多种类型的故事。为了吸引听众的兴趣和注意,也为了提高评话的美学效果,评话艺人还时常穿插噱头和讽刺。在一处说完全书后,评话艺人即自行寻找下一个说书场地。为 As a kind of Chinese folk art, Suzhou Commentary (hereinafter referred to as “Commentary”) formed a unique style of art through the long evolution of history. This is what we have defined as a traditional story. The traditional criticism should have been like this: A commentary artist alone in the desk with a flexible way of acting about (just say do not sing) history, expedition, chivalrous, kung fu, strange and so many types of stories. In order to attract the audience’s interest and attention, but also to improve the aesthetic effect of comments, artists often interspersed with gimmicks and ironies. After a complete book is spoken, the commentary artist searches for the next story. for
