Wandering artists who performed in the Song Dynasty are also known as

Wandering artists in Song Dynasty are also called Qilu people.

That is, artists who travel across state borders and rivers and lakes. The Song Dynasty was the prosperous period of China folk opera. At that time, in the vast cities and villages, there were performance venues everywhere, the most important of which was the Washe Goulan. In this new playground,

There are hundreds of theatrical performances, especially oral English, puppets, acrobatics, zaju and movies. Artists who can perform in the Washe Goulan are all masters, and a large number of artists live outside the Washe Goulan and make a living by selling arts. They are called Luqi people.

Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem that it is not good to grow old in the wrong way because things are separated by several States. There are traces of Luqi people everywhere in the clearing, streets, teahouses and restaurants.

According to the related records of Qilu people, The Jingshi Jisheng in the Southern Song Dynasty records: "... if you occupy the vacant land under the government wall, all kinds of Luqi people will make a scene here, especially in the middle of the government wall. So is the imperial city Sima Dao. Outside the temple, there is also a unique performance in summer. Its market, such an open space, is crowded with people. "

There is a similar record in the Record of the Prosperity of the Old Friends of the West Lake: "The 13th Army Teaching Field, Teaching Field, Hou Jun Teaching Field, Nancang, Qianyazili, Gong Yuan and Yousheng Temple are spacious, and Luqi people enjoy it." Luqi people's wandering performances were called "running wild" by the social habits at that time.

The Old Story of Wulin records: "Wazi Goulan, who attends to the internal affairs in the city, attends to the temple outside the city, or Luqi, who doesn't enter the Goulan but only plays in a wide place, is called' playing wild', which is second only to art" Manuscripts and House also contains: "... Today, the artists on the market are called' playing wild parking', and now they are called' playing wild'."

"Fighting wild" seems to come from the custom of driving away difficulties in ancient China. Later, this superstitious activity with strong supernatural color gradually became an entertainment activity, and this activity gradually became a geisha in the Song Dynasty. After a long period of practice, this activity or geisha has become a "player who doesn't enter the fence and only plays in a wide place."

When "Luqi people" arrive in the city, they are called "city people". Zhao Sheng's "A Brief Introduction to the Ruling and Opposition" said: "... although there is a teaching venue today, when it comes to big banquets, it is not enough every time. It is always used to hire people from the city. In recent years, there are no old people in the teaching world. Most of them are from Luqi. "
