Chinese Traditional Folk Art-Shadow Puppet

Shadow puppet, as one of the Chinese traditional folk art, is a handicraft artwork created by processing cattle hide, donkey hide, or sheepskin into a translucent pelt, then painting it with colors before it is baked dry inside a brick oven, and use for shadow play, an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment using opaque, often articulated figures in front of an illuminated backdrop to create the illusion of moving images.
The shadow puppet has a long history in China. It estimated that the first born in the shadow of the Western Han Dynasty two thousand years ago, also known as sheep drama, commonly known as the head drama, shadow play. Shadow theatre became quite popular as early as the Song Dynasty when holidays were marked by the presentation of many shadow plays. During the Ming Dynasty there were 40 to 50 shadow show troupes in the city of Beijing alone. In the 13th century, the shadow show became a regular recreation in the barracks of the Mongolian troops. It was spread by the conquering Mongols to distant countries like Persia, Arabia, and Turkey. Later, it was introduced to other Southeastern Asian countries.
Shadow play needs a high technology, and requests the artists who should have the flexible fingers. It is not only a need a skillful hand, but need the artists to speak, play, sing. The screen for playing shadow is made of white gauze. The shadow puppet should close to the screen when performance is going. It always makes the audience dazzle.
It is said that the shadow began to spread to Europe from the middle of the eighteenth century, and in 1767, the French missionaries took the China’s shadow back to France, and performed in Paris, Marseille.
The shadow play divided into many styles, such as Tangshang shadow play, Jinan shadow play, Xiaoyi shadow play, Fuzhou shadow play, Hanning shadow play, Jianghan shadow play, Lufeng shadow play, Huaxian shadow play and so on. Each kind of shadow play has its own feature, so if you like the shadow play, you should know more and choose the play which you like.

In the Shadow of the Cypress $9.99 Thomas Steinbeck has been praised by Publishers Weekly for his stylistic brilliance and “accomplished voice.” Now, his enthralling novel In the Shadow of the Cypress blends history and suspense with literary mastery and brings vivid realism to California’s rich heritage. In 1906, the Chinese in California lived in the shadows. Their alien customs, traditions, and language hid what they valued from their neighbors . . . and left them open to scorn and prejudice. Their communities were ruled—and divided—by the necessity of survival among the many would-be masters surrounding them, by struggles between powerful tongs, and by duty to their ancestors. Then, in the wake of natural disaster, fate brought to light artifacts of incredible value along the Monterey coast: an ancient Chinese jade seal and a plaque inscribed in a trio of languages lost to all but scholars of antiquity. At first, chance placed control of those treasures in the hands of outsiders—the wayward Irishman who’d discovered them and a marine scholar who was determined to explore their secrets. The path to the truth, however, would prove to be as tangled as the roots of the ancient cypress that had guarded these treasures for so long, for there are some secrets the Chinese were not ready to share. Whether by fate, by subtle design, or by some intricate combination of the two, the artifacts disappeared again . . . before it could be proved that they must have come there ages before Europeans ever touched the wild and beautiful California coast. Nearly a century would pass before an unconventional young American scientist unearths evidence of this great discovery and its mysterious disappearance. Taking up the challenge, he begins to assemble a new generation of explorers to resume theperilous search into the ocean’s depth . . . and theshadows of history. Armed with cutting-edge, moderntechnology, and drawing on connections to powerful families at home and abroad, this time Americans and Chinese will follow together the path of secrets that have long proved as elusive as the ancient treasures that held them. This striking debut novel by a masterful writer weaves together two fascinating eras into one remarkable tale. In the Shadow of the Cypress is an evocative, dramatic story that depicts California in all its multicultural variety, with a suspense that draws the reader inexorably on until the very last page.

Chinese $10 Chinese - Lily Allen

Shadow Magic $25.46 With her directorial debut, a colorful historical drama recounting cinema's arrival in 1902 Peking, Chinese filmmaker and co-writer, Ann Hu, makes history herself with the first co-production between Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese film studios. Liu, (Xia Yu) the young photographer at Master Ren's (Liu Peiqi) well-respected photo shop, is fascinated with new technology. Ren, however, thinks Liu's tinkering is a distraction from duties like photographing the Peking Opera's biggest star, Lord Tan (Li Yusheng). When an Englishman, Raymond Wallace, (Jared Harris) opens Shadow Magic, a small, dusty theatre touting a new technology of pictures that move, Liu is incredibly curious. After beholding the ethereal images in rapt amazement, the spellbound photographer begs Wallace for a job. The two men join forces, pledging to earn fortunes to impress Wallace's drifting wife, and Liu's beloved Ling (Xing Yufei), the pretty, aloof daughter of Lord Tan. Liu's double life soon leads to conflict, however, when his father, Ren, and Lord Tan view the Western gimmick as a threat to old, Eastern tradition. With elaborate costumes, and lovely locations like The Forbidden City and the Great Wall, Hu's film is a movie lover's cross-cultural paean to the power and magic of cinema.

Shadow of Chinatown $10.74 Notorious Hollywood tightwad Sam Katzman's first serial, Shadow of Chinatown stars Bela Lugosi as Victor Poten, a Eurasian with a destructive hatred of both whites and Asians hired by Sonya Rokoff (Luana Walters) to ruin the tourist trade in San Francisco's Chinatown. But, as Sonya discovers and Poten himself acknowledges, she has inadvertently created a seemingly unstoppable "Frankenstein's monster." The forces of good opposing Poten and Rokoff include Martin Andrews (Herman Brix, aka Bruce Bennett), a novelist specializing in all things Oriental, sob-sister-turned-crime-reporter Joan Whiting (Joan Barclay), and Chinese houseboy Willy Fu (Hawaiian crooner Maurice Liu). Sonya Rokoff, whose allegiance to the madman quickly comes under some strain, is destroyed by a falling chandelier in Chapter 14, but Victor survives to be carted off to jail in the 15th and final chapter, "The Avenging Powers." Shadow of Chinatown was filmed in two weeks in Culver City, CA, and on rental stages at Hollywood's Talisman Studios. A slightly altered feature version in which Lugosi's character is killed off in the final reel was released simultaneously. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
