Shadow puppet show, a national intangible cultural heritage.
In the eyes of many young people, it is equivalent to "fashion", "old" and "outdated".
Jiang Ran thought the same way until his grandfather passed away.
Before he died, his grandfather handed him a red-painted wooden box that had been passed down for six generations and said five words:
"Shadows are alive."
Jiang Ran didn't take it seriously. Until that night, he saw his grandfather's shadow stand up and walk into the box.
From that day on, everything changed.
Guan Gong's shadow puppet fell to the ground and transformed, and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword split the first evil spirit.
Ying Lao woke up from his family inheritance and told him a truth that had been hidden for thousands of years——
On the land of China, there is a group of people who have used intangible cultural heritage skills as weapons for generations to guard the peace of this land.
Shadow puppets, Nuo noodles, paper cutting, movable type printing...
These forgotten old craftsmanship are never just decorations.
They are the last shield of the Chinese nation.
When foreign supernatural organizations sneak into China and attempt to steal the core secrets of intangible inheritance;
When one after another intangible inheritors fall in the dark;
Jiang Ran picked up the carving knife left by his grandfather and carved out the responsibilities of the sixth generation with one knife.
"Do you think intangible cultural heritage is just an antique in a museum?"
"Today I will let you see what China's five thousand years of heritage is."
