Shadow play
SOME shadow puppeteers use intricate, cutout figures for puppets, with moveable body parts. According to a Chinese legend, the first such puppet was made over 2,100 years ago when...
Emperor Wu was overcome with grief. Li, the woman he loved, was dead.
Hearing the Emperor's pleas, a magician named Shao Weng made a likeness of Li out of leather and dressed it in her clothes.
Shao Weng hid inside a torchlit tent, ready to perform.
And when darkness fell, Emperor Wu was amazed to see what looked like Li's shadow move again.
