🎧  Listen to Introduction

Jingchu "shadow puppet" is a general name for shadow puppetry and shadow puppetry characters (including scene props and scenery). Jingchu shadow puppetry art is a unique art form that is a clever combination of Chinese folk arts and crafts and opera, and is a shining pearl in the Chinese national art hall. Shadow puppetry is a form of drama that allows the audience to watch a flat puppet performance through a white curtain to achieve artistic effects; and the flat puppets and scene props in shadow puppetry are usually leather products made by folk artists by hand, knife carving and painting, so they are called shadow puppetry. Shadow puppetry is one of the earliest operas in my country. Its performance equipment is light, the singing is rich and beautiful, and the performance is wonderful and moving. For thousands of years, it has been deeply loved by the general public, so it has spread widely. The modeling and production of characters and scenery in shadow puppetry belong to the category of Chinese folk art. Its artistic style is also unique in the national art garden. In order to adapt to the shadow play's screen performance, it adopts a combination of abstract and realistic techniques, and boldly processes the characters and scenes in a flat, artistic, and dramatic way. Its facial makeup and costumes are vivid and vivid, exaggerated and humorous. Some are simple and rough, while others are delicate and romantic. Coupled with the smooth carving, bright coloring, transparent body and flexible limbs, it is really pleasing to the eye and hard to put down.
