The Northeast was the "Dragon's Hinging" of the Qing Dynasty, and from ancient times, except for a small number of Han Chinese in Liaodong and Liaosi, the vast area centered on the White Mountains and Black Waters has been home to ethnic minorities, especially the Manchu, Mongols, and other mounted and nomadic peoples. During the period of the Kangxi, Yongqian and Qianlong Dynasties, the Qing Dynasty practiced a strict policy of "sealing off the pass" and forbade Han Chinese to enter the eastern part of the country. After the Kangxi, the Qing dynasty, the emperor is not as good as a generation, the national strength of the weak, coupled with the invasion of foreign enemies, "sealing" policy exists in name only, resulting in the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China appeared "to break into the East" tide, a large number of people from Shandong, Hebei to enter the Northeast, "rice-song playing the bottom," "the bottom of the rice-song playing the bottom," "the bottom of the rice-song playing the top". The "Yangge" (rice-planting song) and "Lotus-flower-flower-turn" (two-man show) were brought by the people who "broke into the Guandong" from the Guandao to the Guanwai. According to the third issue of 2010 of Baoqunshu (by Bi Yucai and Liu Yong), "Errenju" was brought to China by people who "broke into the Guandong".
The name of the two-man show was first seen in the pseudo-Manchukuo Kantoku two years (1934) April 27, "Taidong Daily" seventh page "...... this city (A city) three streets a teahouse, recently unknown by a township invited to perform the two-man show, together with a number of people, that is, the countryside bouncing, the name said! 'Lotus Flower Drop', daily dressed up in various roles, performing singing ......" In April 1953, the first national folk music and dance conference held in Beijing, the Northeast Delegation of the two-ren-rotation program officially participated in the performance, thus the name of the two-ren-rotation for the first time to get the attention of the public, the Northeast Delegation of the two-ren-rotation program. Thus, the name "two-people turn" was recognized for the first time by the national literary and artistic circles, and called more and more loudly.
Rooted in folk culture, the two-people turn has a strong rural character, vulgar, color, acid is its biggest feature, by the famous actor Zhao Benshan purified for the green version of the first time on the stage. It was proposed by Mr. Zhao Benshan in 2000, and was carried forward with Liu Laogan Stage as its base. Some people appreciate this, but some people think that it has lost the rustic flavor of the two-man show in the field.
