China has many traditional cultures and national quintessence, from magic to acrobatics to all kinds of operas, which are full of flowers and dazzling. Shadow play is the most special in traditional Chinese opera. The performer stood behind the white curtain, manipulating the shadow play and telling related stories with tunes. At the same time, it is also equipped with all kinds of music, which is very lively. Sometimes a person is a drama, although there are no village streets now. How did you do it?

First, the shadow play with a long history Although many people think that shadow play is not popular, compared with some other operas, it has a long history and is also related to the emperor.

According to Hanshu, after the death of Emperor Xiaowu, he was depressed and unwilling to pay too much attention to state affairs, and the emperor was the king of a country, which was definitely not conducive to the rule of the court. So many ministers began to think of ways. One of them, a minister named Li Shaoweng, cut cotton silk into the shape of Emperor Xiaowu, painted it with color, put sticks on his hands and feet, and then let court musicians be present.

Second, the production of shadow play is made of animal skins such as cowhide, pigskin and donkey skin. Soak the skin in water for two or three days, then scrape it clean with a knife, leaving only a thin layer of skin, and then spread it on a shelf to dry naturally.

When the leather is dry, rub it with tools to make it smoother, and then paint on the leather. Here, painting is only a part, not a whole. After painting, carve the contents of the painting with a knife.

After the carving is completed, the carved figures or buildings are painted with corresponding colors. After painting, put the leather on the board for dehydration. After dehydration, all parts can be combined together, and then bamboo poles can be installed as joysticks at the required positions.
