Shadow puppetry is an ancient composite art form that integrates performance， music， painting， and craftsmanship， revered as the "living fossil" of Chinese folk art. During performances， puppeteers manipulate leather or cardboard figures with rods behind a translucent screen， projecting silhouettes through backlighting while accompanied by traditional string and wind instruments and distinctive vocal styles， creating a captivating theatrical experience.

皮影戏是一种融合了表演、音乐、绘画和手工技艺的古老综合艺术形式，被誉为中国民间艺术的“活化石”。
