What do you know about shadow puppet play
Shadow play, formerly known as "shadow puppet play" or "lantern play", is a traditional Chinese folk art.
Shadow puppet play artists use shadow puppets to play behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. The artists hold the puppets close to the screen so the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. They move the puppets around and make the voices of the different characters.
What do you know about shadow puppet play
Shadow puppet plays
Every Saturday, Wang Weifang puts on a play with his friends in a small town near Xi'an. The audience can hear them, but they cannot see them. That is because they are putting on a shadow puppet play.
Shadow puppets are made of hard leather. The leather is cut out in the shape of a person, an animal or an object. Each puppet is painted in bright colours and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable arms and legs.
Listen, read and understand.

During a shadow puppet play, Wang stands behind a white screen with lights behind it. The audience sit in front of the screen. Wang and his friends 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 characters.
Shadow puppet plays are an ancient Chinese art. Now with TV and films, shadow puppet plays are not as popular as before.
Wang and his friends often work very hard for little money, but they do not mind. They want to keep this traditional art form alive.
