　　赵本山，国朝八年诞于北地铁岭，六龄丧母，八岁失父，颠沛于国朝之新兴，流离于年代之火红。农妇哀其羸弱而收养之，盲叔悯其幼孤而舐犊之，风雪中胡琴作苦吟之宫商角,黑土上唢呐奏疗饥之二人转。弱冠之年，山乃投身梨园，寄食江湖，以滑稽搏笑草民；工于小丑，出谐趣取悦乡亲。如是者有年，然则贫贱如故也。

　　国朝中兴，山乃渐次辗转通衢大都，当是时也，苛禁渐废，人民恶闻御用之样板，匹夫喜见俚俗之草台，山乃大显身手，“瞎子观灯”绝倒辽沈，“老有少心”爆笑东北，盲叟行状惟妙惟肖，群盲以为辱已之甚，竟尔击杖阻演，欲剜山之目以符其实，遂成梨园佳话。然则山名也。

　　国朝宣谕台闻之，招山进宫，欲收山以御用，三进三出，竟尔不遂，盖因山之技艺，引车卖浆者流哗笑以赏，锦袍玉带者辈嗤之以鼻者耳。初，山坚辞，拒宣谕台之斧削，后乃幡然自责曰：“草履不可登金跸，失此则白山黑水聊度余生也”，乃奋而起，斧削流民之顽劣，收敛取宠之雕虫，听命乎黄门之颐指，俯首乎司礼之烹制，终乃于国朝四十一年之除夕，荣登宫中宴舞大会，遂尔天下闻名也。

　　计四十一年以来，每逢除夕之会，山必调笑天下，献滑稽于禁宫，出顽笑于大内，嘲匹夫之老猾，讥贪佞之小过，上闻之一笑而罢，下赏之捧腹绝倒，宣谕台不可须臾离，盛世典必得山之技，山乃稳坐国朝滑稽之首席也。

　　论者曰：山，天赋名伶者也，东方卓氏别林，天下庶几无双者。余则谓：山，识时务之俊杰也，以天赋资材达于人臣之极，上不忤逆，中尽贬讽，下多讥嘲，如此则左右通达，上下皆喜者也，东方朔以降，代有类者，无非正史不载，列传拒入而已矣，今则不然，影视倏尔传扬四海，网络连通无远弗届，山之名动华夏，岂可无传也乎？

　　是为传。
