Pictured: a shadow play named "Monkey King's fights against Ox-King" was
staged by Xiangdong shadow play troupe from Hebei's Changli County at the
shadow play hall in the National Museum of China in Beijing. A shadow
play is an ancient form of story-telling and entertainment using opaque,
often articulated figures in front of an illuminated backdrop to create
the illusion of moving images.
