Shadow puppet play(皮影戲), also called “shadow

play”, is a traditional Chinese art of storytelling. Dramas were

played out in screen or walls for thousands of years to

entertain(娛樂) and instruct. It was very popular in many

parts of China during the Tang (618—907) and Song

(960—1279) periods.

Shadow puppets are made of hard leather(皮革). The

leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an

object. Each puppet is painted in bright colors and put on a stick. Different colors are used to

show good and bad of persons in the drama. Some puppets have movable arms and legs . They’re

reflected(反射，映出) on the white screen through the light.

During a shadow puppet play, the players stand behind a white screen with lights behind it

The audience sit in front of the screen. The players hold the puppets very close to the screen so

the audience can see the puppets' shadows clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the

voices of the different roles.

Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before. But the basic

principle(愿望) and ways of shadow performance played an important leading role in the

invention of the modern movie and the development of the movies and cartoons. Nowadays, the
