MEANING OF 雙簧
雙簧 (双簧)
a form or theatrical double act, popular since Qing times, with one player seated stage front and acting out the poem or song of the second player hidden at the back (also written 雙黄|双黄) / double reed (as used in oboe or bassoon) / an oboe or bassoon
①一作双黄”。曲艺曲种。流行于全国各地。演员两人,一人坐前,一人藏后;藏后者说唱,前坐者按说唱内容表演各种动作,使观众感到如前坐者说唱一样。演出多以滑稽取胜。相传起源于清代曲艺演员黄辅臣。黄晚年嗓喑,演出时只能由其子蹲在椅后说唱,后人模仿而成为另一曲种。②比喻双方的行动表面上似乎无关,其实按秘密约定进行,互相配合他们两人,一个愿打,一个愿挨,唱的是一出双簧。
