CCTV NEWS对外的官方介绍,你挑几段看看好了另外皮影戏是shadow play皮影的那个玩偶是 puppet操纵皮影的performer叫puppeteer Shadow play is a kind of drama in which silhouettes made of hard paper and hide are projected onto a white screen. The performer manipulates the characters behind the screen while singing the libretto to tell the story. The story-telling is accompanied by music. Chinese shadow play, which came into being during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, spread to South Asia, Central Asia, West Asia and North Africa in the 13th century. The ancient Chinese art spread to Europe in the 17th century. The famous German poet Goethe staged European opera in the form of Chinese shadow play, and modern movies derived, in part, from the ancient art. Fortunately, shadow play is alive and well in Huanxian County in northwest China's Gansu Province, where outside cultural influence is limited due to its remoteness. Huanxian County now has more than 90 shadow play groups, all of which are made up of farmers. This county, the birthplace of Daoqing shadow play, is currently hosting the first Daoqing shadow play festival.
