[0002] Shadow play is an ancient traditional Chinese folk art, also known as "shadow play" or "lantern shadow play". It is a folk drama that uses silhouettes of figures made of animal skins or cardboard to perform stories. During the performance, the artists manipulate the shadow figures behind a white curtain while telling stories with local popular tunes, accompanied by percussion instruments and string music, which has a strong local flavor.
