Shaanxi Shadow Puppetry: The beauty of a national essence passed down for a thousand years💗
📍Detailed Address: Yongxingfang • Intangible Cultural Heritage Theater in Xi'an
🔆Shadow Puppetry
The birthplace of shadow puppetry is Xi'an, Shaanxi. According to the 'Book of Han', more than 2000 years ago, after the beloved consort of Emperor Wu of Han, Lady Li, passed away due to illness, he deeply missed her😔 and neglected the affairs of state. One day, Minister Li Shaoweng went out and encountered a child playing with a cloth doll🪆, whose shadow was cast on the ground, lifelike. Thus, Li Shaoweng had an idea, he cut out an image of Lady Li👸 from cotton cloth, painted it🎨, and attached wooden rods to the hands and feet. At night, he invited the Emperor to sit and watch inside the tent, and after seeing it, the Emperor was greatly pleased. This story is considered to be the earliest origin of shadow puppetry. According to historical records, shadow puppetry🔛 began in the Western Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and was at its peak in the Qing Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, it spread to Western Asia and Europe, boasting a long and storied history🌊
🔆Only after learning about it did I realize that shadow puppetry🎭 is a traditional art with thousands of years of history. The performers of shadow puppetry need to manipulate multiple puppets at the same time, coordinating with lighting💡 and music🎶 to bring a variety of stories to life on the screen. This is much more complex than the shadow games we played as children, and also more vivid and interesting🥳
🔆Shadow puppetry performances usually do not have a fixed venue or time, and are mostly performed by invitation during traditional festivals or at market fairs, temple fairs, and during the joyous occasions of rural families. The repertoire of the old-style shadow puppetry🎭 mostly consists of ancient military themes and mythological legends, with more than two hundred pieces, including a large proportion from the Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, Three Kingdoms, and Tang and Song periods. Popular plays include 'Lintong Treasure Fight', 'Shenting Ridge', and others. There are also plays reflecting local traditional folk life and pure martial arts💪🏻
🔆In Xi'an, the performance styles of shadow puppetry🎭 are diverse, including Mi Hu, Bowl Tune, String Board Tune, Agong Tune, and Qin Tune, among others. Behind the white screen, the artists manipulate the characters of the opera while singing the story in the local popular tunes, accompanied by percussion and string instruments. The performance, rich with the breath of rural gentry🎤, makes one feel as if they are in the midst of an ancient village🛖
The shadow puppets passed down through the centuries are not just art, but also history👍

Revisit Xi'an, the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, eat, drink and have fun
I arrived at Xi'an North Station by high-speed rail🚄🚄🚄. After leaving the station, I immediately transferred to the subwayⓂ️🚇 and arrived at Gulou Station.
The reason why I came here was simply because of the convenience of traveling, so I stayed here in Gulou. The price is 380 yuan a night.
This location is also very prosperous. There are many 🧋 milk tea shops at night. It is worthy of being a gourmet city for late night snacks.
Early the next morning, I went to eat the Roujiamo, which I had never forgotten. It was still so delicious. I really enjoyed watching his making process.
After dinner, we went to the 5th floor of Kaiyuan Shopping Mall, which is the best observation point of the Bell Tower. I walked around here all morning. When I was tired, I went to eat gourd chicken. It tasted really good. I have to say that the hotel is really good. Yes, I was given a serving of jelly as a gift.
If you go to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in the afternoon, you must sign up for a group, otherwise you will really not understand it. I have to say that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are crowded with people, and it is really hard to move to a seat. After seeing it, I was really shocked.
The next day, I had spicy meatball soup early in the morning. It tasted really good. After I was full, I went to the city wall to eat some food, and then moved to Yongxingfang. Although Yongxingfang is not very big, it is quite popular. I am a literary person, so I randomly found a small theater to watch a small performance, and then tasted some snacks afterward.
By the way, the Shaanxi History Museum must be reserved 5 days in advance, so I came to Shaanxi Museum. It has to be said that it is too grand, worthy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but the density of people inside is even worse than that of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. I must do a good job here. Prepare mentally.
As the sun set, we arrived at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. After taking pictures, I ran to KFC to wait for nightfall. As time went by, there were more and more people, and I was overwhelmed by all kinds of ladies wearing Hanfu.
On the last day, we had a great meal at Huimin Street and felt the 🍺🥩 fireworks of the market here.

In Yongxingfang of Xi'an, I seem to have traveled through the tunnel of time, each piece of green brick tells a thousand-year-old story. The ancient streets, intertwined with modern hustle and bustle, seem to be a romantic encounter between the past and the present.
