Posted January 21, 200025 yr Staff Dear Anon,China is one of the four countries with an ancient history which started at least 5,000 years ago, there are many famous poets.In fact, there is an ancient "Book of Songs" besides other ancient books. Chinese scholars in the past are both skilled at poetry and calligraphy. Some of the works and poetry verses are still available today.As for comedy, I am not too sure, but I believe the recent spin off of the term `double talk' is part of this comedy plays in ancient times. This is where two persons talk in `harmony' and create laughter with the audience.As for communist China, during this period of the `cultural revolution' unfortunately, I believe, this is indeed a `dry' period for the Chinese.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 1/15/00 2:39:21 AM, Anonymous wrote:Dear cecil,Do poets and comedian existsin China?
