Red Net Moment, January 24 (Reporter Hu Yi Correspondent Zhang Jiaxing) "Three feet of raw silk to make a stage, all by ten fingers to be witty. Sometimes under the bright moon lamp window, a smile still comes from the grasp. On January 23, at the Changsha Xiaoxiang Youth Cinema Changsha Dahanhai Pie Store in Changsha, Hunan, the story of the shadow puppet play "Entering the Palace to Make Fun" was brilliantly staged. Melodious melodies, dexterous fingers, and classic stories are vividly interpreted in the shadow puppet teacher's depressing singing voice, and the children are fascinated by it.
Shadow puppetry with unique artistic charm has taken root in the folk for thousands of years and inherited the excellent culture of the Chinese nation in a form that the masses like to hear. In order to enrich the children's holiday life and promote the popularization and promotion of intangible cultural heritage art, Xiaoxiang Youth Cinema invites Wan Tiejun, a representative inheritor of Changsha shadow puppetry at the municipal level and a teacher who has been engaged in shadow puppet performing arts for more than 40 years, to bring an immersive and wonderful performance to the children in an immersive experience.

At the scene of the event, the sound of gongs and drums, allegro and erhu gradually sounded. Under the light projection, the thin shadow puppet is bright and vivid, and every move and word and sentence firmly grasp everyone's attention. More than 30 minutes of wonderful performances, the children concentrated on watching, parents are watching the performance, while not forgetting to take out their mobile phones to take pictures of the whole process. "I saw this kind of shadow puppetry for the first time, it felt very fresh and interesting, and I hope that children can also feel the influence of this traditional culture." Ms. Liu, who lives near Xiaoxiang Youth Cinema, was full of praise after participating in the event.
How did the characters in the story move? After the performance, the children were still unsatisfied. In the subsequent interactive session, they walked to the back of the curtain, touched and felt the material of the shadow puppet, and under the guidance of the teacher, they operated and performed the shadow puppet, and felt the charm of excellent traditional culture in the learning experience. "It's amazing how a big drama can be performed with just a few sticks!"

"With the development of society, folk traditional arts have gradually faded from the public eye, and it is almost difficult to contact intangible cultural heritage such as shadow puppetry in daily life. Just in time for the winter vacation, we had the honor to invite Teacher Wan Tiejun, a senior shadow puppet performance artist, to organically combine traditional shadow puppetry with the theater environment, expand the performance space of shadow puppetry, and also create an opportunity for children to contact shadow puppetry. The whole event is mainly interactive, and the children are actively involved in an edutainment and educational way. Next, our theater will continue to further expand similar activities to serve the majority of young people and give play to the function of minors' extracurricular activity venues. Xiaoxiang Youth Cinema Changsha Dahanhai Pai store manager Chen Ting said.
The "immersive" experience is shocking, and the "living teaching materials" convey the spirit of craftsmanship. This shadow puppet activity is a concrete measure for the diversified operation of Xiaoxiang Youth Cinema, another reflection and attempt on the film + model, and a practice and commitment to assume social responsibility and pay attention to the extracurricular education of young people.
