Which folk art is non-heritage

Shadow puppetry is a non-heritage in folk art.

Shadow play is one kind of traditional Chinese folk art and is also China's intangible cultural heritage. It originated in the Han Dynasty and has been passed down for more than two thousand years. Shadow puppetry tells various stories by manipulating cut-out leather figures behind a white cloth screen and performing them with elements such as music, singing and speech.

The production of shadow puppetry requires exquisite skills and patience, as each leather figure needs to be cut, colored and embellished by hand. Performers, on the other hand, need to master skillful manipulation and rich performance experience in order to vividly present the storyline to the audience.

Despite the fact that modern technology has developed to an extremely high level, shadow puppetry is still loved and respected by people. It is not only a form of entertainment, but also a cultural heritage and spiritual wealth. We should cherish and pass on this non-heritage culture and let it shine more brightly in the new era.
