On December 8, on the campus of the Central Primary School of Hengyan Township, Hongjiang District, Huaihua City, a unique shadow puppet show was being staged.
At the event, the students used their own shadow puppet characters to perform an interesting and charming shadow puppet performance. I saw the students behind the curtain manipulating the characters with their dexterous hands, singing and acting at the same time, and the originally static characters were instantly brought to life, and a wonderful story was staged in front of the white curtain. The wonderful performance attracted the attention of the teachers and students present, and the applause, laughter, and cheers were intertwined into a moving symphony, and the atmosphere was warm.
It is understood that the school has established the "Little Bamboo Shoot Shadow Puppet Theater", with "first acquaintance with shadow puppetry", "dialogue shadow puppetry", "shadow puppet making" and "shadow puppet interpretation" as the main line of activities, realizing multidisciplinary linkage, interdisciplinary integration and other courses go hand in hand, focusing on diversified education, shaping cultural self-confidence, and promoting the continuation and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.
In this activity, the students felt the unique cultural charm of shadow puppetry, experienced the craftsmanship spirit of China's excellent traditional culture and shadow puppet artists, and enhanced their self-confidence and sense of mission in the inheritance of traditional culture. The person in charge of the school said that the school will continue to be guided by cultural inheritance, innovate forms, carry out various cultural activities, guide students to love traditional culture, inherit intangible cultural heritage skills, and implement the educational goal of "five educations at the same time".
