Qin Ligang, the inheritor of Hubei Yunmeng National Intangible Cultural Heritage, led a team to perform the traditional shadow puppetry drama "Journey to the West" and the selected drama "Monkey King Borrows a Fan" for the audience. The mythological story series has always been a top performer of Yunmeng's shadow puppetry. In addition to its beautiful singing style and flowing expression techniques, the artists also integrate modern light and shadow into the scene switching, showcasing a mysterious color between flashes and movements. Ma Guojun, a professor of the Central Academy of Drama and an expert on the evaluation of China's Intangible cultural heritage, who watched the performance from the stage after a song, said that the traditional play Journey to the West is a play that many folk troupes and local troupes have. The uniqueness of Yunmeng Shadow Play is to add skills on the basis of maintaining the original flavor, to make the play live and perform brilliantly. The character changes are very natural, which is the embodiment of the combination of inheritance and innovation. Each place's shadow puppetry has its own characteristics, and Huanxian is the 'hometown of Chinese shadow puppetry'. Coming here to showcase and perform can not only promote Yunmeng shadow puppetry, but also communicate and collide with other teams, which is a rare opportunity, "Qin Ligang said.

The performance form of one person playing multiple roles, "Ten No Leisure," has filled many tourists with excitement. After the performance, the elderly person, although sweating heavily, is also energetic. I started working in this field at the age of 8, and I haven't left this stage for 73 years. Now I'm integrated with shadow puppetry, "Fan Zheng'an said as he packed his clothes, "We need to make our own programs, make our own puppets, perform our own programs, and learn string music, percussion and other musical instruments; the expression of" ten no leisure "has been passed down very little, and for me, it has become a part of my body." As a inheritor of the national Intangible cultural heritage, Fan Zheng'an is also the sixth generation inheritor of Mount Taishan shadow play, and he has many unique views on shadow play art and folk culture. Referring to his experience of participating in Daoqing Shadow Play Folk Culture Festival in Huan County this time, he even gave a thumbs up and said, "There are dozens of shadow play troupes in Huan County, which is the inheritance and protection of culture, and I was very moved."
