Shadow puppetry (皮影戏) is one of the oldest traditional Chinese folk arts. It has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is also called "the magic of the lamp".
Shadow puppetry uses puppets made of leather or paper. The puppets are painted with colourful patterns. Artists stand behind a white screen with a bright lamp behind them. They hold the puppets with sticks, and move the puppets to act out stories. At the same time, they sing and talk for the characters, with music playing in the background.
In the past, shadow puppetry was a very popular entertainment for people, especially in the countryside. During festivals or weddings, people would invite shadow puppetry artists to perform.
Today, shadow puppetry is facing some challenges. Fewer young people want to learn this art. But many artists are trying to keep it alive. They add modern stories to the shows, and even make 3D shadow puppets. We hope this wonderful folk art will never die.
56. How long is the history of shadow puppetry?
57. What are shadow puppets made of?
58. Where do the artists stand when performing?
59. When did people invite artists to perform in the past?

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to hear that you are interested in Chinese folk art. Let me tell you about my favourite one.
My favourite folk art is Chinese paper-cutting. It has a long history of over 2,000 years in China. It is usually made of red paper with scissors or knives. People cut it into different shapes like flowers, animals and Chinese characters. We often put up paper-cuts on windows and doors for good luck during festivals. It is not only beautiful, but also carries people’s best wishes. I think it’s a wonderful art form, and I’m learning to make it now.
I hope you can come to China and see it one day!
Yours,
Li Hua
