It’ll survive as long as they adapt and record down their knowledge. They are performing at schools, that’s not a bad idea. That’s what early Japanese animation did, and it’s doing very well.

Idk why this made me so emotional. I grew up in the west and have never seen a shadow puppet performance live, but I guess it still hurts to see a culture vanishing. I also grew up watching The Calabash Brothers among other Chinese cartoons, and The Calabash Brothers were clearly inspired by shadow puppets. I hope the craft is able to survive and eventually thrive. It’s such an intricate and admirable art.

This is so important that in Italy everybody knows the expression "ombre cinesi", that means "Chinese shadows": kids often play with their hands to make the shadow of a wolf or other things. Bring one of those shows to Italy if you can, for the Chinese people living here and for everyone

I think kids make shadow puppet animals with their hands in many places - but it is interesting that you guys call it Chinese shadows! I wonder when it started to be called that?

Strawberry Cupcake I don't really know, but you know the game "paper-scissor-rock" where paper beats rock, rock beats scissor and scissor beats paper? We call it "morra cinese", "Chinese morra" (I don't know what's "morra" in English) and this game, we call it Shanghai www.goutdujeu.fr/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/mikado_produit_ouvert.jpg

@@ab-ul1yz huh. Wouldn't have guessed. I know that morra is it's own game (like with your fingers and guessing the sum?) so I guess rock paper scissors is kinda similar. And yeah, I know the game you're talking about- I forgot the name, but I think it's just "sticks" or "straws" usually

Everything fades out eventually, especially with entertainment. Think about how mad some people were when we stopped silent movies and such! And someday, maybe movies will even change so much they're indistinguishable. That's just how it is. It'll turn into entertainment history instead of just entertainment.
