Status of Tangshan Shadow Theater

The inheritance and development are facing some challenges. Tangshan shadow play as one of the important representatives of Chinese shadow play, has a deep historical heritage and artistic value, the traditional performance methods and techniques are gradually lost, the audience of shadow play is also getting smaller and smaller, especially the younger generation of the audience has little understanding of this ancient art form, in order to protect and pass on the Tangshan shadow play, the local cultural workers and artists have made a lot of efforts.
