Chinese shadow plays (中国皮影戏）are a traditional form of art . They are popular in some places in China . Do you want to know more about Chinese shadow plays and shadow puppets (木偶） Read on and you will find out more information .
More than 2,000 years ago , Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty’s favorite concubine (妃子）died of illness . The emperor missed her so much that he lost interest in everything . One day , a minister (大臣）happened to see children playing with dolls （玩偶）. The dolls’ shadows on the floor were vivid (栩栩如生）. Then the smart minister came up with a good idea . He made a cotton puppet of the concubine and painted it . That night , he invited the emperor to watch a puppet show behind a curtain . The emperor was very happy with the puppet show . It is believed to be the origin of Chinese shadow plays .
Shadow puppets were first made of paper and later from the hides of donkeys or oxen . That’s why the Chinese name for the shadow puppet is “pi ying” , which means “shadows of hides”. Shadow puppetry was very popular during the Tang and Song Dynasties in many parts of China.
The stage for shadow puppet shows is a white cloth screen . Shadow puppets look similar to paper cutting except that their joints are connected by thread so that they can be operated freely .
