A timeless tradition: Chinese shadow puppetry
Mr Wang is putting on a shadow play for a lot of people in his home
villlage. He learnt the craft from his father and grandfather. “I'm proud to
be a shadow puppetry performer, and I'm glad
people still want to watch shadow plays!" Mr
Wang says. He is not alone tonight. Three
musicians provide the music for the shadow
play, and a singer plays all the different
characters in the story.
Chinese Shadow puppetry has been around for over 2,000 years. It is one
of the earliest forms of moving picture storytelling. This art form is not just
fun to watch; it is also an important part of Chinese culture. It tells about
the lives of historical figures, folk stories and important life lessons, and it
shows the value of different communities.
However, shadow puppetry is not as popular as before because more people
like to watch TV, films and online videos. Mr Wang says that many shadow
puppetry performers try to update their shadow plays. "Our plays aren't
as long as before, and we sometimes add modern things, like famous pop
songs, to surprise people." It seems to be working—everyone really enjoyed
tonight's show!
