Shadow play:

Shadow play, also known as "shadow play" or "light shadow play", is a kind of folk drama that uses animal skin or cardboard to make people perform stories. During the performance, the artists manipulated the shadow puppeteers behind the white curtain, telling stories with local popular tunes, accompanied by percussion instruments and strings, which had a strong local flavor. Its popularity is extremely extensive, and various shadow plays are formed due to different voices played in different places.

Shadow play is an ancient traditional folk art in China, and old Beijingers call it "donkey shadow play". According to historical records, shadow play began in the Western Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Qing Dynasty, and spread to West Asia and Europe in the Yuan Dynasty.
