Shaanxi kuaiban is a kind of traditional Chinese storytelling in the Shaanxi dialect, with the rhythm of bamboo strips. It can be performed by one person or a group. In 2021, it was included on the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
The art form dates back to the late Qing Dynasty. Farmers used it to tell stories and make money. But now, people perform Shaanxi kuaiban at festivals, parties and art shows.
Yang Jinlong is a well-trained Shaanxi kuaiban artist. He first learned the art at an early age. Before that, he often went to watch kuaiban performances with his father, an amateur performer. Though it was not his job, his father loved it so much that he could spend much time on it.
“As a young boy, I was interested in the art form because many of the stories were about heroes. The performer tells stories while playing kuaiban. It’s easy for the watchers to remember the stories since all the lines rhyme,” Yang said.
He has practised Shaanxi kuaiban for more than 30 years. Since 2003, he has been teaching the art form to young people.
Yang has made some changes to the art form. When he tells modern stories, Yang gives up wearing the traditional clothes. Instead, he wears a suit. He also uses many pop elements like tap dance, ballet, jazz dance and the rhythm of popular music. His stories are mainly about modern topics, like the Chinese Olympic team.
“Art education is important to students in China. Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments, there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shaanxi kuaiban. They are hard-working and active,” Yang said.
