Shadow puppetry is one of the most traditional folk arts in China with a history of over 2,000 years. It is also called “shadow play” and it was very popular in ancient China, especially in the countryside. The play uses puppets made of animal skin or paper. Artists cut the puppets into different shapes of people, animals and plants with sharp knives, and then colour them with bright paints. When performing, artists put the puppets behind a white screen and use light to make their shadows appear on the screen. They move the puppets with their hands and tell interesting stories with local voices at the same time. Shadow puppetry is not only a form of art, but also a way to pass on Chinese traditional culture. Now it has become a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) and is known all over the world. Many foreign visitors come to China to watch shadow play performances and they all say it is amazing.

参考范文
My Favourite Art Form
My favourite art form is paper cutting, a traditional Chinese folk art. It has a long history and is very easy to learn with just a pair of scissors and some paper. Artists cut paper into such beautiful shapes as flowers, animals and Chinese characters that they look really amazing. I love it because it can show Chinese traditional culture and it’s a great way to relax. I often practice paper cutting in my free time, and I hope I can learn more skills to make better works.
