Write a composition with China traditional art

Chinese shadow play art is a wonderful flower in China folk culture. Shadow play is the earliest curtain culture and entertainment form in the world. For more than 1000 years, she has added countless festivals and harvests to the endless sons and daughters of China, and pinned her hopes for peace and well-being and endless yearning for the future. It is the spiritual food of the broad masses of the people in past dynasties.

In the past, amateur shadow play organizations were often found in rural areas, factories, mines, troops, institutions and schools, which enriched the cultural life of the broad masses.

Shadow play invented by our ancestors is the earliest visual art that combines the shadow of performance with music and rap dubbing by using the principle of screen shadow. It is recognized by the theoretical circle of international film history that the art of shadow play is the forerunner of later film invention.

In contemporary film art, shadow play technology also provides a new and convenient technical means for animation production and creates new varieties for art films. Since 1958, the first shadow play art film, Pigs Eat Watermelon, more than a dozen art films have absorbed the expression of shadow play.

Shadow play has also been an entertainment tool for the army since ancient times. During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, domestic shadow puppeteers also went to the front line to express their condolences. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and land reform, many shadow puppeteers made up new plays in line with the current situation, and they became light riders to publicize the revolution.

Chinese shadow play art also contains a lot of historical information. Scholars can study China's folk customs, folk literature, folk art, folk music, food, clothing, housing and transportation and many other issues.

Today, although people have moved away from shadow play, as long as we find the essence of shadow play art, she will still come back to us.
