Shadow puppet play(皮影戏), also called "shadow play", is a traditional Chinese art of storytelling. Dramas were played on screens or walls for thousands of years to entertain(娱乐). 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 people in the drama. Some puppets have movable arms and legs. They're reflected (反映,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 shadows of puppets clearly. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different roles.
Now with TVs and films, shadow puppet play is not as popular as before. But the basic principle and ways of shadow play performance play a leading role in the invention of the modern movie and the development of the movies and cartoons. Nowadays, the Chinese shadow puppets have been collected by the museums of many countries in the world. It is the treasure in the world culture.

China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying enough vegetables and meat for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量)of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.
The difference could be due to the different weather.?
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.
5.In southern China, people usually buy　　　　at a time.?
