Who is the "hawking king" in Beijing? Why did he carry a big sedan chair when he died?

In the past, the alleys in Beijing echoed with all kinds of hawking, selling all kinds of goods, and sometimes I could hear them in the morning? Coriander, spicy green pepper? I will feel impatient, I won't let people sleep in the morning, and now I can't hear the hawking anymore.

Hawking's memories grew up with us, with a loud and pleasant voice, and most of the shouts were voices, dragging their feet. The most important thing is that it also has the humorous characteristics of Beijing. At that time, Hawking even became the language and culture of old Beijing.

What about now? Beijing peddles the king? Cang Hong's point of view is that Hawking is not simply selling things, but a craft. Cang Hong also said that he could shout out 170 kinds of hawking in old Beijing. At that time, only a few people had this talent. At the same time, Zang Hong's hawking is a symbol of Beijing Hutong, which shows that Zang Hong's popularity is very high. Finally, after Cang Hong died, he was given a big sedan chair and even buried three years later.

How to cultivate Hawking's skills?

Zang Hong was born in a poor family in Beijing. His father and grandfather are both shed workers, and their family conditions are OK. But in Cang Hong's generation, great changes have taken place in the country, leading to a very miserable life for the people, and collectors are no exception. Zanghong's mother lives by picking up some wild vegetables every day. In that era when food and clothing could not be solved, Zang Hong had to drop out of school and go home.

When Cang Hong was ten years old, people's lives were miserable, and some even went begging in the street. Those days also made Cang Hong feel very miserable, so Cang Hong decided to stand on his own two feet. Finally, Zang Hong and her youngest son went to find a job together, hoping to simply find a job to fill their stomachs. There happened to be a newspaper that recruited child laborers to sell newspapers, so it sold newspapers. Later, Cang Hong decided that selling tofu was better than selling newspapers. Tofu can't be sold, but can be eaten without wasting.

After Zang Hong told Xiaozi about this idea, the two decided to sell stinky tofu, so Zang Hong found some wicker to weave a wicker basket and sold stinky tofu with the wicker basket on his back.

No matter whether it is hot summer or cold winter, Zang Hong and Fa Xiao appear in the hutong at six o'clock every morning on time, and then walk from the east of the city to the sufu factory in the west of the city for at least an hour, but they have never been afraid. Even in the heavy rain and snowstorm, the two did not rest, but continued to wear hemp fiber to sell tofu. In order to sell more, Zang Hong boldly shouted? Stinky tofu, selling stinky tofu? .

In this way, two boys with wicker baskets appear in the street every day. Day after day, year after year, with the growth of Cang Hong's age, the capacity of wicker basket can no longer meet that of Cang Hong, so Cang Hong decided to choose a pole to do business, because it can hold more fruits and vegetables. So Cang Hong appeared in the streets on time every day on a pole, and sometimes even went to the overpass to sell fruits and vegetables, and his business gradually got on the right track.

Zang Hong's business is booming, and the small pole can't hold the vegetables and fruits that Zang Hong can sell, so Zang Hong bought a platoon car with the money he earned from doing business. Since then, Zang Hong has been more motivated, getting up early every morning to buy goods, and then selling them along the street. Zang Hong's shouts attracted many women and maids in the courtyard, and because the fruits and vegetables sold by Zang Hong were cheap and fresh, women and maids went out to buy food every day as soon as they heard Zang Hong's shouts.

Zang Hong is also an honest man. Sometimes it is cheaper to meet old customers, so everyone is willing to buy food with Zang Hong. In this way, Cang Hong, with his shouts and honest personality, can quickly sell out the fruits and vegetables in the car every day. Shouting has become a propaganda method of Zang Hong and a symbol of Beijing Hutong.

The art behind shouting.

After the founding of New China, people's lives have become better. Zang Hong no longer needs to make a living by shouting, so Zang Hong became a worker of Beijing Railway Bureau. As a worker, Cang Hong did not forget his housekeeping skills, but showed his talents to his workmates after work. Sometimes, when he is fascinated by the performance, he forgets the time to go to work. It happened that Zang Hong was seen by the leader during a performance. Seeing that Zang Hong could talk and sing, the leaders transferred him to the Art Troupe, which further sublimated Zang Hong's talent.

In the art troupe, Zang Hong not only learned to perform, but also learned to cross talk, and even wrote and performed cross talk "Always Hurting Humanity" and "Between Husband and Wife". Many things happen. Zang Hong wrote and performed two cross talks by Zhang Xishu, a cross talk master, which was highly praised by the master.

Later, Zhang Xishu saw Zang Hong's outstanding talent in this respect and recommended Zang Hong to his crosstalk predecessors. Finally, Cang Hong took Wang Changyou as his teacher. Under the guidance of the master, Zang Hong starred in Selling Cloth Head, which caused a sensation in the whole phonological circle at that time.

Later, Zang Hong became more famous through the dubbing of a film, and then many directors came to Zang Hong, hoping to dub in this film about old Beijing. In this way, Zang Hong was accompanied by selling voices in 130 films about old Beijing.

Later, once there was an old Beijing film, the directors would ask Zang Hong to voice it, and Zang Hong became one of the symbols of Beijing. 1993, Zang Hong was named by Mrs. Lao She. Beijing peddles the king? . This is Cang Hong's supreme honor.

After that, Zang Hong gradually thought about his hawking voice. Cang Hong believes that propaganda is not only a craft, but also an art worthy of inheritance. Shouting is not blind shouting, but a well-trained art ... for example, shouting in front of a deep house compound is long and audible.

Dedicated to? Yelling? undertaking

For what? Yelling? The love of career makes Mr. Cang Hong study day and night, even a healthy young man is reluctant to part with him, let alone an elderly Tibetan old man. After all, Mr Cang Hong is ill. However, despite his physical discomfort, Mr. Zang Hong will still perform on various stages. Zang Lao said that as long as he can shout it out, he will perform on stage even if he is pushed on stage. In this way, Zang Lao ignored his illness and performed on the stage for four years.

Later, Mr Cang Hong did not fight death, and died of prostate cancer in Beijing. On the night of Zang Lao's death, Zang Lao's son, grandson and some prestigious younger generations were at the wake, and they kept chanting Zang Lao's life story. They burst into tears as they talked.

Zang Lao was not buried in time after his death, because his wife and children and grandchildren were reluctant to be buried until three years later. In order to let Zang Lao experience the feeling of sitting in a sedan chair, his son and many relatives and friends gave him a big sedan chair, as well as some flag gongs and umbrella fans sewn by Zang Lao's wife. Every stitch and thread contains Tibetan wives' deep thoughts about Tibetan elders. The family also collected tools for Zang Lao to sell things.

Does Beijing sell Wang Zanghong? Yelling? It is not only a kind of propaganda, but also a cultural heritage left by history and a symbol of Beijing Hutong. Zang Lao walked all his life. Sales? Lu, even after illness, still does not give up performing, which is enough to show Zang Lao's love for this cause. When he died, Zang was buried three years later. Let us see that Zang Lao's life is really admirable, and I believe this art of Zang Lao will be passed down.
