But local troupes were still formed by villagers with a liking for music and song. Their more undemanding style of performance was never intended for the stage, still less to make a living by, and they did not clash with the professional troupes as they were always loyally supported by local audiences.
但本地歌仔均由愛好彈唱的農村子弟組成，他們既非為登台而演出、也無生活壓力，加上附近鄰里都是忠實觀眾，和職業劇團並不相衝突。
