Shadow play, also called light shadow play, is one of the oldest operas in China. Actors sing along with music, and control shadow tools at the same time.The contents of those plays are more about traditional historical drama and fable stories. Shadow play combines some characters of drama, music and paintings,and is an integration of literary writing, handicraftsmen's carving and painting,and folk singing.It's delightful, abundant,suiting both refined and popular tastes,and contains rich culture and art resources.In ancient times, it brought people pleasure as modem movies and TVs do. In modern society, it's very difficult to find the mysterious drama again. Shadow play is a treasure in the world culture and art circles.
