Shadow play was first born in the Western Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, also known as sheepskin play, commonly known as head play and shadow play. It originated in Shaanxi, China, matured in the Tang and Song Dynasties and flourished in Hebei in the Qing Dynasty. As the name implies, shadow play is made of leather. Cowhide and donkey skin are better for firmness and transparency. When coloring, five kinds of fixed transparent pigments such as red, yellow, cyan, green and black are mainly used. It is precisely because of these special materials that the shadows of figures and props in shadow play projected on the screen under the backlight are magnificent and crystal clear, with unique aesthetic feeling. According to the custom of China traditional opera, the characters in shadow play can be divided into five categories: raw, Dan, clean, ugly and ugly. More specifically, each character consists of eleven parts: head, upper body, lower body, two legs, two upper arms, two lower arms and two hands. Performers make characters do various actions by controlling a main lever in front of the collar and two joysticks at the ends of both hands. In China, many local operas are derived from shadow play, and the performance principles and artistic means adopted by shadow play have also played an important leading role in the invention of modern films and the development of modern film art films. Nowadays, China's shadow play is being collected by museums all over the world, and it is also a good gift from the China government and other national leaders. It can be seen that the art of shadow play has high artistic value in China and even in the world.
Chinese
Sugar man is made of boiled sucrose or maltose in various shapes, including figures, animals, flowers and plants. It is said that there were sugar people in the Song Dynasty, mostly with plane shapes. Just like today's Tang Hua, it is called playing with sugar, and later it is called thick sugar gourd, blowing sugar mapo, swinging thick sugar, sugar suitable for mother, sugar official, sugar pagoda, sugar turtle and so on.
Sugar making is a folk handicraft, and the craftsman has an extra burden, one is a heating stove, and the other is sugar and tools. Sugar is made by heating sucrose and maltose, and its natural color is brown, and some are red or green because of adding pigment or pigment. The control of temperature during use is the key. If it is too hot, it will be too thin and easy to deform, and if it is too cold, it will be too difficult to form. The tools used are very simple, mostly spoon-shaped and shovel-shaped.
Sugar man is not easy to raise. In the past, when the supply of desserts was in short supply, he would eat candy people after playing. Nowadays, for health reasons, people buy sugar more for viewing than for eating, which will make it black and deteriorate for a long time.
In the past, artists often peddled gongs along the street, and some even brought a disc with flowers, birds, animals and insects painted on it. After paying the money, they can turn the pointer on the disc and do whatever they want to attract the children. Sugar people used to be very cheap, and they were children's favorite playthings when they were not rich. In the early 1980 s, a few cents or a few toothpaste tubes could be exchanged for a sugar man. Nowadays, there are more toys for children, and sugar people are no longer just fooling children. They have been paid attention to as a folk art. Now there are fewer artists making sugar people along the street. As can be seen at the temple fair of Beijing New Year Festival, the price of sugar people ranges from several yuan to more than ten yuan.

JD.COM Dagu
JD.COM drum was formed in the early 1930s. It was formed by artists such as Liu Wenbin singing Pinggu tune in Baodi county dialect and absorbing the melody and falling tune of Hebei folk song Beggars. It was once called Laoting Drum.
The singing form of JD.COM drum is basically the same as that of iron drum and single piano drum. In the story-telling stage, there used to be a singing form of playing and singing by yourself. The actor sits on the three strings while playing, with his right foot on a drum (supported by a low drum stand and placed on the ground) and his left leg tied with a "joint board" (five boards) to control the rhythm. It's quite attractive to the audience
The basic format of JD. The drum words of COM are seven sentences (two, two, three), but three prefixes are often added at the beginning of the sentence, words, phrases are often embedded in the sentence, and function words such as "na" and "ah" are often added at the end of the sentence.

allegro
The name Allegro appeared late. In the early years, it was called "Jilaibao", also known as "Dingdang", "Liukou" and "Lianhualuo", which was sung by the poor in the Song Dynasty. Like Lotus Waterfall, it was originally sung by beggars begging along the street. As a singing activity when begging, it has a long history; As a form of artistic expression, it is relatively late. As mentioned earlier, artists in the old days always wanted to find a historical celebrity and regard him as the originator of the mountain in order to add luster. Of course, artists of "digital treasures" are no exception. So, I found the historical Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang among beggars and took him as my grandfather. Cloud tourists "river's lake talk" said:
In the past, artists would improvise some words when performing in the street. They say whatever they see, and they are good at singing along with the clips, publicizing their views and expressing their feelings. From editing, acting to singing, it is faster than any form. For example, Cao Dekui, a treasure artist in the late Qing Dynasty, wrote a lyric (at that time, the beat was made with cow bones): once the bones began to ring, nothing else was clear. In the era of autocracy, the people are not living, and the people are not living. Since the Guangxu Gengzi year, the Boxer Rebellion has taken place in Beijing. The soldiers around were in a panic, and black smoke was everywhere in the city. Seeing that the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, the people said yes to every little thing. It vividly reflects the voice of the people. In the war of liberation, the people's army further played the fighting role of Guibao. The Warriors compiled a lot of Allegro works to boost morale. Comrade Bi, who is known as the "Allegro King", praised Allegro and said: Singing heroes and winning battles are concrete and practical. Entertainment is fun, and guiding work is meaningful. Allegro has two main forms of expression: one person singing and two people singing. The counterpart still retains the original name of "Jilaibao", and some of them are also called "Allegro counterpart". There have also been "Allegro" sung by three or four people and "Allegro Troupe" performed by more than a dozen people from factories and troops. Some areas have also developed into Allegro sung in local dialects, such as Allegro Tianjin and Allegro Shaanxi, which have played a very good role in education and entertainment. Allegro has many forms, such as "Count to Treasure", Allegro book, Allegro Minor, Allegro Tianjin, etc. Count to Treasure is performed by two people; Allegro performs alone; Allegro is mainly a form of mass cultural activities except a short return; Allegro Tianjin is sung in Tianjin dialect.
Allegro is flexible and colorful. From the form of expression, one person said Allegro, two people said "Count to Treasure" and more than three people said "Allegro Group" (also known as "Allegro Group").
