The Development Course of Tongliao's "Errenzhuan"

At the beginning of the last century, Tongliao was still a Yuan Ye with abundant water plants and flowers, with wild animals and flowers, and few people. A small village called "Baiyin Tailai" is located at the southern end of Tongliao City. Liaohe River flows continuously from the northwest of the village. Year after year, day after day, a large amount of sediment brought by the rolling Liaohe River has formed the Liaohe alluvial plain. The land here is fertile and the climate is suitable. Therefore, people who escaped from the darkness cultivated land here. 1909, Zhang, commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army, established the "three halls" of Wobao on this fertile soil to manage the reclamation work here. Then a large number of foreign Han immigrants came here to cultivate land, breaking the closure and tranquility of Horqin grassland.

The entry of immigrants, especially the first generation immigrants from Jilin and Liaoning, brought the art of "two-person turn". At that time, the performances of "Errenzhuan" were basically underground in the farmhouses or carts shops on both sides of the Dakang, or they played stalls or sang concerts, which became an indispensable artistic food and cultural life for the people in Tongliao.
