Shadow puppet play
Watch a video:
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, also an art form on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
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 the history of Chinese
animation
Think
Focusing on culture
Shadow puppet plays are a traditional form of storytelling in China. Many people think of these plays as a forerunner of animation. Let us find out how and why.
1 Read the article from an online art magazine to learn about shadow puppet plays.
The forerunner of animation
It is Saturday afternoon in a small town near Xi’an. Wang Weifang and his friends are putting on a play. The audience can hear them, but they cannot see them. This is because they are behind a screen—they are performing a shadow puppet play, an art form on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
The oldest shadow puppet plays in China date back over 1,000 years. In shadow puppet plays, light and shadows are used to tell a story on a screen. This art form is probably one of the earliest forms of moving images. It has had a huge influence on modern film-making and animation. However, this ancient folk art is at risk of dying out, so local artists are trying to save it.
Shadow puppets were first made of paper. Later, people used leather to make them. That is why they are called piying (i.e." leather shadows") in Chinese. One of the advantages of using leather is that the puppets last for a long time. The leather is cut in the shape of people, animals or objects. Each puppet is painted in different colours and put on a stick. Some puppets have movable parts like arms and legs, or even fingers and eyes.
During the shadow puppet play, Wang and his friends stand behind a white screen. The audience sits in front of the screen. The screen is lit up, and the puppeteers hold the puppets close to it so the audience can see the puppets’ shadows clearly. They then move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.
The puppet characters talk and move around the screen, just like in an animated film. The audience can't take their eyes off the puppets, and they hold their breath at exciting moments.
These days, people seldom attend shadow puppet plays. However, neither Wang nor his friends are prepared to let this traditional folk art die out. When they perform ancient plays, they add in some new elements. To the joy of their audience, the puppets can even perform modern dance moves!
Notes
Today, puppeteers are exploring new ways of performing
these traditional plays. Some puppeteers use digital images
and new types of lighting to create special effects. Others are
experimenting with unusual materials to make colourful shadow puppets.

2 Answer the questions below with the information from the article on page 46.
(1)How are shadow puppets made
(2)How do the puppeteers perform shadow puppet plays
Shadow puppets are made of leather. The leather is first cut in different shapes. Each puppet is then painted in different colours and put on a stick.
The puppeteers stand behind a white screen. The screen is lit up, and the puppeteers hold the puppets close to it to create shadows. Then they move the puppets around and do the voices of the different characters.
(3)Why is it called a "shadow puppet play"
(4)What do shadow puppet plays and modern animation have in

Because the audience cannot see the puppeteers or the puppets, they can only see the shadows of the puppets.
Both shadow puppet plays and modern animation are moving images on a screen.
