English-language translations of traditional plays from the marionette puppet theater of northern China. Marionette puppet theater has a rich and ancient history in China, extending back to the Han dynasty and reaching its heyday in the Qing dynasty. While this art form is nearly extinct in northern China today, a handful of troupes in Heyang County in Shaanxi Province, which claims to be the birthplace of marionette theater, continue to perform skits and scenes from Heyangs earlier, broader marionette theater repertoire. In this book, Fan Pen Li Chen has collected and translated rare transcriptions of some of the most popular of these plays. Her insightful translations include a rich variety of genres and highlight memorable characters that range from manipulative aristocrats, poor Confucian scholars, and a woman warrior to Baldy Guo, the iconic clown of puppet theater. As the only work in English about the puppet theater of northern China, these translations provide valuable information about the history, religion, social roles, and popular culture of that region. Detailed introductions and annotations for each play, as well as an extensive bibliography, are also included.

From the 1990's to 2003 the author followed four marionette theatre companies in the Quanzhou area. Based on this unique fieldwork the author describes both the theatrical and social context of the marionette theatre. He shows it as a complex entity in which elements of religion, ritual, language, history and social structure all come together. The study includes an analysis of the companies' organization, libretti, music and puppets, as well as of the social and religous context of the performances and their ritual aspects. Its important insights into the functioning of a traditional form of theatre in the economically advanced region of southern Fujian provide a fascinating window on contemporary China.

Shadow puppetry is a traditional art that exists in many different regions of China and beyond, including Thailand and Cambodia. In China, many have heard of shadow puppetry, but few understand the core of the art since it takes many years of practice and experience. This art is not defined by one specific culture, but it is still unique since it combines history and science. Shadow puppetry originated from China around 2000 years ago, but it is disheartening that fewer people are showing a continued interest in the art. However, this should never be an excuse for giving up on inheriting the traditional art; shadow puppetry is a treasure not just for China but for the world. This book collects puppets from the southern region of Liaoning Province. Southern Liaoning includes, among others, Dalian, Yingkou, Anshan, and Dandong. The whole region is not very big, but it has many special customs, a history of inland migration, different battles, and even historical foreign diplomacy. Shadow puppetry is used to record history and life stories. Based on these materials, there are also some related myths that can be shown by shadow puppets. The reader of this book can find explanations and comments for puppets and understand how previous artisans designed puppets and why they designed so. There are details that may be ignored when observing a specific puppet, but actually they are crucial. Cultural heritage like shadow puppetry should never be limited by its origin and cultural background; it should be spread out so that more people can realize the real beauty of it. This book provides only a brief introduction, and its purpose is to spark some interest among readers. Art derives from real life. There is a Chinese quote describing shadow puppetry as "a piece of mouth may carry thousands of stories; a pair of hands may raise years of histories." It is fair to say that this art contains so many things waiting to be explored. This kind of treasure needs to be noticed by m
