When the leaders of most traditional theater troupes take apprentices, they keep some tricks to themselves out of fear that they will one day be competing with their students. Some even penalize apprentices who want to strike out on their own, bringing an end to friendly relations between master and student.
一般傳統劇團，許多師傅都有留一手的藏私習慣，唯恐弟子將來和自己打對台、搶生意，有的師傅甚至對於要出去自立門戶的弟子大加責罰，恩斷義絕。
