旧时代的民间艺人大多生活在社会底层,除了一些技艺精湛的名角收入较高外,更多艺人常是衣食无着或勉强温饱,登台卖艺是他们谋生的唯一手段。既在江湖内,俱是苦命人。所谓同行如同命,相似的境遇下这些穷艺人们大都能相互帮衬,他们之间都抱有着一种团结、义气的朴素的人生理念。 Most of the folk artists in the old days lived on the bottom of society. Apart from some high-profile celebrities with higher incomes, more artists often lacked food or clothing and were barely able to provide enough food and clothing.
