“听得见”的老济南味儿

The “Audible” Jinan Folk Art of Quyi

泉城曲艺曾名扬四海。自清代开埠以来，济南就以其独特的地理优势和深厚的文化底蕴吸引了大批的曲艺名家，与北京、天津形成三足鼎立之势，号称曲艺界“三大码头”。一时风头无两，名家荟萃，大量茶园、茶棚、书场鳞次栉比，涌现出了晨光茶社、明湖居、芙蓉馆等曲艺场所，遂有“曲山艺海”之美誉。

Jinan＇s quyi--folk art forms rich in local flavor including ballads, singing, storytelling, comic dialogues,ciapper talks, etc-used to be famous throughout China. Since China was opened to the outside world in the Qjng Dynasty, due to its unique geographical location and deep cultural reserves, Jinan attracted a large number of famous quyi performers. Consequently, standing like the legs of a tripod, Jinan, Beijing and Tianjin were honored as the ＂Three Ports of Quyi.＂ As a result, numerous teahouses and storytelling venues like Chenguang Teahouse, Minghuju and Furong Hall came into being in Jinan.
