Shadow Puppet House

Shadow puppetry, also known as "shadow play" or "lantern shadow play", is a kind of silhouette of characters made of animal skin or cardboard, which is performed with a light-proof cloth under the illumination of light sources such as candles or burning alcohol. It is one of the puppet plays widely circulated among Chinese Han people. At the end of the 20th century, as television entered villages and households, shadow puppetry, which was loved by the people of Huanjiang County, gradually fell into disfavor. Of the more than 30 troupes in Huanjiang County, only the Li Jia Troupe was still singing. Old man Li, the leader of the Li family troupe, and his wife, daughter-in-law Xiu Xiu, and granddaughters Jinhua, Yinhua, Tonghua, Peach Blossom, and Pear Blossom formed a family troupe. The five granddaughters are fondly called the Five Flowers... Old Man Li's son Xiangdong, while working outside to make money, brought shadow puppetry to the city's work sheds and squares, and met Lao Ma, a shadow puppetry singer from the south... Under the influence of the family troupe, Huzi is good at playing, playing and singing. Huzi uses new ideas to make Pi Yingying accepted by more and more people again, becoming the third generation leader of the Li family troupe... A family of ten, three generations and the story of Pi Yingying. I hope you will like it and follow me into their story.
