Features: The entire book includes 90 precious traditional crosstalk pieces! The selected segments are all famous and renowned pieces from the first four volumes that were not included, such as Mr. Zhang Shouchen's Eating Hot Noodles in the Daoguang Era, Little Rascal, Mr. Hou Baolin's Wang Erjie Missing Her Husband, Mr. Liu Baorui's Zhang Fei Climbing a Tree, and Mr. Su Wenmao's Wine Game. Some are widely performed and well-known in the world of crosstalk, such as Mr. Chang Baoting and Mr. Bai Quanfu's Learning the Four Faces, Mr. Zhao Zhenduo and Mr. Zhao Shizhong's Learning the Four Provinces, Mr. Li Bosheng and Mr. Sun Shaochen's Juyang Spring, Mr. Guo Rongqi's Learning Peking Opera, and Mr. Wang Shutian's The Four Great Peking Opera Stars. There are also some nearly lost pieces, such as Mr. Yang Zhenhua's Disciplining His Son, Selling Candied Sugar, and The Treasure-Seeking Homecoming, Mr. Yu Chunming (Little Bei Gua)'s Sugar Cane Stands, Learning the Four Generations, and Learning Manchu, Mr. Jin Tao's Afraid of Bathing and The Opera Fan Strolling the Streets, Mr. Liu Wenbu's Wuxun Disciple, and the famous crosstalk artists from Taiwan, Mr. Wei Longhao and Mr. Wu Zhaonan's Afraid of the Running Inn. Additionally, based on old recordings, the book Ji Ping San's Learning Beijing Dialect and The Opera Fan's Legend, Mr. Guo Qiru and Mr. Liu Dezhi's Improved Baby Tether, and Da Fan Tong and Shao Xiaozi's Telling a Dream.
Lastly, it is worth mentioning the eight-stick pieces included in this volume, all of which are Mr. Zhang Chunkui's "top-notch" works. Although Zhang Guangtai (also known as White Dog Tomb) only has three segments—Emergence, Learning the Trade, and Returning Home—and Nine-Headed Case only has half a segment, they are extremely valuable as reference materials!
