Chinese shadow puppetry is a traditional folk art that originated in the Han Dynasty, and is a folk drama in which the silhouettes of characters made of animal skins are used to perform stories. Behind a white curtain, the artists manipulate the filmmakers to tell the story with tunes. At the same time, it is accompanied by percussion instruments and strings, which is rich in local flavor. In the Yuan Dynasty, shadow puppetry spread to West Asia and Europe, bringing joy and artistic enjoyment to the people of the world.
