Storytellers are commonly known as "storytellers". They generally have a certain level of education. In the past, most of them were children of declining aristocratic families or unemployed intellectuals. When telling stories, they sit on a special high chair that is higher than the audience. Some of them also set up a platform in front of the high chair, and occasionally they can go down to the platform to dance and perform; some first build a small platform, and then place a table and a chair on it, with books or folding fans and teapots on the table. "Storytellers" can sometimes go down to the platform to dance and perform. Xiamen dialect storytelling is an important part of the culture of southern Fujian.
