This is exactly how Yang's daily life goes on-common and typical.
   At 9 a.m.，Yang drives to primary schools and middle schools in Xi'an，Shaanxi Province，to teach students about Shaanxi kuaiban.Sometimes，he helps students prepare for competitions.His classes run until about 6.p.m.，and then he returns home to prepare classes for the next day.
   Yang has been teaching young people since 2003 after studying quyi in the university in Beijing.Quyi refers to different kinds of traditional Chinese folk art forms，including storytelling and kuaiban.
   "Art education is important for students in China.Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments like the piano and violin，there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts，including Shaanxi kuaiban，on which I'll work for my whole life，"he said.
   Kuaiban is popular in northern China，including Beijing and Tianjin.It is a traditional Chinese form of telling stories while beating kuaiban，which the art form is named after.Influenced by the art of different areas，kuaiban has developed into many kinds and Shannxi kuaiban is a famous one.According to Yang，Shannxi kuaiban appeared during the late Qing Dynasty and it can be performed by a group of players or only one.With one or two pairs of kuaiban of different sizes in hand，the players use the local language to tell stories，which are usually about heroes.The player tells stories while playing kuaiban，and the watchers can remember the stories in a short time since all the lines rhyme like poems.
   On June 21，2021，Shaanxi kuaiban was included on the list of national intangible cultural heritage （NICH國家非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)）.Thanks to artists like Yang，this traditional Chinese form of storytelling is passed on and stays alive in our country.
