  The text offers a concise yet informative overview of ancient Chinese entertainers, collectively called Youren and its variants. It traces their evolution from court-sponsored small groups to professional troupes post-Song and Yuan dynasties, expanding their acts from storytelling and acrobatics to opera. Notably, it highlights the stark contrast between their rich artistic contributions and their low social status in a society prioritizing ethics over amusement. Sima Qian’s inclusion of them in Records of the Historian further underscores their cultural significance despite marginalization. This piece effectively illuminates a lesser-known facet of ancient Chinese art and society, inviting deeper exploration of these artists’ lives and legacies.
