Chinese Shadow, which can also be called "Chinese Shadow Play or Chinese Shadow Puppet play", is one of the most ancient genre of drama in China. It came into being in the Han Dynasty (206B.C.-A.D.220) and has more than two thousand years' history.

Chinese Shadow

Billy · 10-06-2003, 05:45 AM

Popular among the people of China, Chinese Shadow is a dramatic form which uses lantern to project shadows on the screen. The artistic effect of the play is produced through light, screen, music, singing, and puppet operation. The shadow play is widely stated " a magic, lightning-like art" and win people's high praise in many countrys'.

The puppets in the shadow play are made of transparent leather. Chinese shadow artists first carve out the lines of the design and then dye them in bright colors. These transparent leather puppets become very lively and beautiful under the lantern light. With strong local characteristics, the shadow puppets are folk handiworks and a wisdow crystallization of Chinese shadow play artists through the ages. The exquistite shadow puppets not only can be played by yourself but also are a good choice for house ornament. Many state art museums and Chinese Shadow fans collect elegant Chinese shadow Puppets.

I can help you buy and send to you if you really want to get one.

Billy this is a beautiful picture. Do you have any idea how much a painting like this one would sell for (in US dollars)?

The shadow puppets are very interesting as well.

I also find the new marriage stuff interesting. I couldn't imagine having to get a letter from my boss asking if I could get married (if I was single). What would happen if a person was self-employed? It would seem more appropriate to get a letter from your parents, but I guess it doesn't matter now that the law is gone.

The arts need comunicate. Every one want keep all the best arts. I don't know hope any one keep the arts in home. It should ne put into musuem. But the musuem can not afford the money on all paintings.

No need company letter for marrige in law now. So you can easily marry and diorce.

Probably because until recently, the concept of self employed didn't exist in China as the state controlled everything. And your parents might be in a different work camp whereas your boss knew "everything" about you.

I think I understand what you are saying about art, but I have no intentions on buying this I was just wondering what it's monetary value was in US dollars? No matter what it costs I wouldn't be able to afford it anyway. I was just curious.

I realize you don't need a letter to get married now, I was just saying that it was strange to me that you would need a letter from your employer as opposed to your parents.

Two nurses dress an abandoned baby boy at a hospital in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi Province, October 8, 2003. The infant was born October 3 at Huashan Workers' Hospital before being abandoned by his mother. Medical staff took good care of him and some lying-in women even offered to nurse him. A medical check-up indicates the baby is healthy. [www.newsphoto.com.cn]
