A tale of light and shadow
Chinese shadow puppetry(皮影戏), or shadow play, is probably one of the most ancient arts using light and shadow.
Shadow puppetry can be found all over China, especially in the
c46. Generally, it is a mix of many art forms,
i47 painting, music, opera performances and storytelling.
More than 2,000 years ago, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty was very sad about the death of his beloved concubine(妃子). One day, a minister(大臣) happened to see children playing with dolls, whose shadows were lively on the floor. Then he had an idea—he
m48 a puppet(木偶) of the concubine. As night fell, he
i49 the emperor to watch a puppet show. This story is believed to be the
b50
of shadow puppetry.
Shadow puppetry was widely performed in the Tang Dynasty, and was introduced into West Asian and European
c51 during the Yuan Dynasty. The art form reached its heyday(全盛时期) in the Qing Dynasty, when the puppetry was performed in
a52 every place.
H53, making puppets is not an easy job. They are mostly made with animal skins. The body parts of the puppets are cut separately and then joined together. During the performances, puppeteers hold the puppets
w54 sticks connected to their most important joints, so that the puppets could be shown as "moving images" on the screen. They could be so lively that Chinese shadow puppetry is also
k55 as the "forefather of films".
