#China's shadow puppetry has a history of over 2,000 years. As one kind of shadow puppetry, Tai Shan Shadow Puppetry is performed by just one person. The performer holds the puppets in his hands, sings the dialogues, and controls nearly 10 musical instruments all by himself. This requires very fast movements and reactions. | China Focus

Chinese shadow puppetry was added to the #UNESCO Intangible #CulturalHeritage list in 2011. The traditional drama is performed by silhouette figures mainly made from animal skins. #ChineseCulture | Xi's Moments
