新素材 传统文化 Chinese shadow puppetry(皮影戏) is a form of traditional Chinese folk drama. It is probably one of the most ancient arts using light and shadow. It is also a mix of many art forms, including painting, music, opera and storytelling. Shadow puppetry was added to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2011.
More than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wu of the Han dynasty was very sad about the death of his wife. One day, one of his men happened to see some children playing with toys. The shadows of the toys were lively on the floor. Then he had an idea—he made a puppet(木偶) of the emperor's wife. As night fell, he invited the emperor to watch a puppet show. This is believed to be the start of shadow puppetry.
In the Tang dynasty, shadow puppetry was played by many people in many places around the country. Then in the Yuan dynasty, it was introduced into West Asian and European countries along the Silk Road. The art form became the most popular in the Qing dynasty. At that time, it was played in almost every province and in many kinds of celebrations like weddings and birthday dinners.
It is not an easy job to make the puppets. Their body parts are cut separately and then joined together so that they can move freely. During the show, puppetry artists connect the puppets' most important joints(关节) with sticks. In this way, they can hold the puppets and make the puppets walk, run or dance as they want. Sometimes the puppets could be as lively as living things on the screen.
In fact, most puppetry artists across China don't get trained and don't play shadow puppetry as a job. They just play it for fun and love. However, they are still experts in this field. In recent years, puppetry artists have explored ways to make this ancient art form as popular as it used to be and pass it on to the young, hoping more people can understand its importance and feel its beauty. They also get support from the Chinese government. Thanks to their hard work, Chinese shadow puppetry is becoming great again.
