    People cut leather(皮革) into a person, an animal or other things as shadow puppets. They are painted in red, white or black to show good or bad characters(角色).

    Shadow play is over 2,000 years old. Although there was lots of earlier information of shadow play, it wasn't clearly written in books until the Northern Song Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, shadow play was an art in China and many people loved watching it.

    During the play, the performers stand behind a screen with a light behind them. They control(控制) the puppets with their hands and they put the puppets close to the screen so that people can see it clearly. They tell the stories by singing. In fact, it's not easy to perform shadow play.
