Hey George - found an interesting read about the rules of begging and different types of beggars in this online book:

https://books.google.com/books?id=CUcdH6opOlcC&pg=PA399&lpg=PA399&dq=chinese+two+beggars&source=bl&ots=UNUHmVZfNw&sig=9nBRl0r4oazVvehNV-TEeD1Btnk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiBhqCB__DOAhWGMSYKHaU0BC4Q6AEIOTAI#v=onepage&q=chinese%20two%20beggars&f=false


9. Falling Lotus petals. Two beggars, wearing colorful clothes and caps, paint their faces with rouge and powder and carry bamboo staffs with holes drilled into each segent and filled with a few copper cash. While begging, they sing and dance, swinging their arms and legs, spinning around, and jumping up and down as if they were mad. Those who do not have colorful clothes often make do with ordinary rags.
