Overview:
Chinese shadow puppet show (play), also called Piying Show or Piying Xi
in Chinese language, is a traditional folk art, the origin of which can
be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty (206BC - 25 AD). With puppet
silhouettes made out of cow's leather or donkey hide, the shadow show
figures of the Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province are the most
representative in China, which are modeled on the stone relief patterns
of the Han Dynasty, the academic-style painting of the Song Dynasty
(960-1279AD) and folk paper-cuts. Today, Guanzhong shadow play figures
are very popular with collectors and as home decorations. And most
