The Master of Shadow Puppets
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2019
- Fan Zheng’an is keeping the tradition of Mount Tai shadow puppetry alive in Tai’an, China. The art form was created more than 2,000 years ago. Zheng’an, who turns 76 this year, has been at it for 68 years, and he’s basically a one-man puppeteering band. He operates anywhere from four to eight (and sometimes dozens!) of puppets when he performs. Zheng’an also does the voices, writes the stories and plays the music (with his feet, of course). Join us as we pull back the curtain on this master puppeteer’s shows.
This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis: www.genesis.com/

In Indonesia you have something similair called the Wajang Dolls. My great grandmother came from Indonesia to the Netherlands after the independence. She had Some dolls with her and I played with them as a child. Great Asian traditions.
Di indonesia pertunjukan ini disebut wayang kulit.👍🙏
I never know before about shadow puppetry beside wayang kulit, its not suprising for me to know there is one from china, like, they too have rich culture 👏
Ahhh yes, my granda also bought me some of them from Indonesia.
Haha of course! I’m from Thailand and we have something similar too. I think it was because us East Asian adapted a lot of our culture from China. We did a lot of trades back in the days good to see it present today
I guess lots of SE Asian culture came from China as they have longer history bout going everywhere, and perhaps since they are spread everywhere, their culture stays at those perspective place
While visiting Indonesia, idk it was my Mom’s birthplace in Solo, they have Opera level shadow puppet. Like, dude! The show was from 9 pm to 4 am. I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t understand what the puppeteer say, but surely how can i forget the atmosphere! 🇨🇴 🇨🇴
I still remember that romantic story scene from Karate Kid. 😢
Hahahaha is true.
Chi chan ehh kids kissing romantic? Just reminds me that i cant get a girl
Chi chan i cri evry tim
Daniel Lupo XD
omg i watched that in my spanish class... i think? that old master cought a fly with chop sticks and had bonsai trees, plus that car polishing scene lol
Last bit reminds me of that video about a Singaporean girl learning Chinese opera. Great to see younger generations keeping the cultural heritage strong 💪
Malaysia : shadow puppet is from malaysia!
Indonesia : no you not! We are!
China:lol
India:aokawokawokawokawokawokawok😂😂😂
@@waktukewaktu1616 pretty sure China was the one influencing them. A lot of Asian cultures are heavily built on Indian and Chinese cultures, along with the original. India and China were some of the oldest cultures that didn't influence each other until Buddhism.
@@thelordandsaviorgigachadrr888 The spreading of the religion also spread the culture to different countries
@@tommygun4552 true but it's not like everything went. There was a lot of mixing and matching.
@@waktukewaktu1616 Middle East , South Asia, Central Asian cultures played some roles in Chinese culture, but South East Asia not, in the contrary China influenced South East Asia more.. What do you expect from SEA which is a younger civilization?
This puppet show is noted in the UNESCO, originated from China.. At that time, South East Asia was still mostly jungle bro, I'm from SEA too, from Indonesia, I guess we weren't even have proper clothes back then, around 100 BC 🤣
I just got a great big story ad before I clicked on the video
Me too
random dude on the internet same
Lol me too
Same
Inside he is a little boy who play dolls. And it looks fantastic
2:14 when I realize that he plays music by his self with foot, it just.. blow my mind.
A great video on a wonderful tradition. There is also a great shadow puppet tradition in Indonesia. I have been to these Indonesian shadow puppet events, complete with torch lights, gamelan orchestra, and independent vocalists, all performing late into the night. Amazing, and seeing is believing, and this is a very worthwhile tradition.
He just seems to shake his hand, and there is a huge duel of shadows. Is this the art of master.
@@CK0547 I was not thinking or saying in a bad way.
Also, I did not say it easily, because it was as natural as waving his hand.
Also I expressed it as 'just shake his hand' because I am a general person who does not know his skills. I admire master's efforts, his years, and his art.
@@user-todaywe I own you an apology, as your words can be easily misinterpret.
Who else got an ad for Great Big Story? Just me... Ok....
Also, these puppets are very popular in China. They appear in airports and many many other places such as plazas. And I have been to China twice before this video. Both times, I saw many of these puppets.
Really happy to hear he has over 30 apprentices to continue this art form 😄
That's cool, his hard work paid off
This is really cool! It kinda reminds me of Japanese Rakugo, even though they don't do shadow puppets, they're still just as good at drawing you into the story and doing voices of all the characters as a one person show. It's amazing. I absolutely love East Asian performance art!!
This is totally amazing. I wish I could see a shadow puppet show where I'm at.
in malaysia it was called 'Wayang Kulit'.it was mostly popular in our east coast states.
Oh yea.. in Indonesia it was called *Wayang Kulit* . It was mostly popular in Middle Java
Beautiful display of art! It’s ALIVE!
I love this man! And I love that he has 30 people willing to learn how to do what he does ❤
love seeing someone do something they love and keeping an ancient heritage alive
Crazy old man delights kids lol But seriously I hope his craft will be kept alive for future generations...
Great video as expected from this wonderful channel, so sad they stopped... This is an amazing art master
Beautiful, simply beautiful!
In the near future, we might have something similar to this using Augmented Reality...
Genesis:
*Im about to start this mans whole career*
Shadow pappets are also very famous in Greece for decades now
They have something similar in India...it was said to have come from Persia
so cool to see the start of shadow puppets
I just saw a great big story ad on a great big story video
this story has everything that i like 🙂 good job
Omg I lived 20 mins away from him for a year and never knew!!!! So upset I didn’t see him
Ancient stuff we got the original one too here in indonesia but it all gone around 90s
The best form of shadow puppetry
We used to have this exact type of shadow puppetry in southern india.
nice,we have shadow theatre here in greece too,although its very popular here.Its still dying,but slower
He looks so happy.
It's similar to Hacivat ve Karagöz. Same idea but in Turkish.
That’s what I thought
Ours is solely a single puppeteer controlling the characters and musical instruments. There norm seems to be multiple people.
he is so talented !! wow !!! amazing !!! amazing now I wanna try to make one !!
Awesome.
I love the puppets show!!!
Lol when i clicked in this video i got a ad about "Great Big Story" and this is the Great Big Story channel!lol
I ❤️ this channel
Thought it was the Indonesian shadow puppetry at first. Didn't know it's the Chinese one. Happy to see this art form cherished and nurtured in the heart and mind of people in both countries.
Video wrongly claims it originated in China while it came to both South east Asia and China from India. Like how Buddhism and Hinduism spread through trade routes. Thats why South East Asian puppetry have Indian epics
@@otomackena7610 It's stated in UNESCO that shadow puppet is from China. I do acknowledged that alot of countries adopted shadow puppet stories from Indian stories (especially ancient Hinduism and Buddhism stories), but it doesn't mean that the art came from India
I want to watch !!!
So cool
Indonesian belike : YoU cOpiEd OuR wAyAnG KuLit!!
Great story
Still waiting for Pratham S Hegde's interview. He is amazing and rumours are spreading here that it will be soon
Yeah same here. How long will it take
Same here too. It is taking too long. Rumours are spreading like wildfire here in India. It was also published in one private newspaper
Same here. It was published in three different private newspaper across India and one in South India. How long will it take?
Yeah same here
If u love your family
Keep loving them❤
No

He's the Master of Puppets
❤️❤️❤️
In Cambodia also have these shadow too but one people one character and the puppet they use are very big , is a giant and a god and more I have study already but I never seen again from now
🤔 Interesting.
During the making of Disney’s Mulan (1998) The film was originally going to open up with a shadow puppet intro explaining how the Great Wall of China was built in the first place to keep the Hun Army Led by the treacherous Shan Yu out of China.
Lol he snuck backstage so much that people got tired and didn’t stop him anymore.
I got an ad for the channel that i was watching XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
We have the same thing in Greece 😃😃😃. Its called karagiozis
Komşu gelin bize katılın. Doğu Akdeniz'deki doğal gaz ikimizi de geçindirir. 😁😀
Maxwell?
This is same-different as 'wayang' from indonesia..remind me of my childhood
Well Indonesia wayang kulit are from India
So what do you think by "Wayang Kulit?"
It came from Indonesia (javanesse).
From China and Indian influences I guess, since the stories are originally Indian stories (Mahabarata, Ramayana etc etc)
@@Joooo89 Before Islam, the majority religion in Indonesia was Hinduism. So, the story of Ramayana and Mahabharata is a common story here.
@@herikusuman6599 I know, I'm from Indonesia too
I got a Ad of Great Big Story on this Video Like What
Is he alive today?
0:12 "Today, shadow puppetry is a nearly extinct tradition."
I can understand why. Only one kid looks genuinely excited, the rest look thoroughly bored. And then there's the two in the middle, probably taking video of the performance to post on Insta.
Seriously, how on G-d's Green Earth could ANYONE down vote this? SMH...
Fights look like stickman animations
That’s one scene in Karate Kid
Kankuro + Shikamaru
Karate Kid fans rise up!
2nd I guess
Yang setuju wayang dari Indonesia
Metal heads master of puppets
*Indonesian and Malaysian in the comment section are triggered*

Nice try Buster.

Inspired by Genesis!
Genesis, too bad its a Genesis....
The voice of the commentator sounds so dead especially in contrast with the puppet show.
dikir barat
I thought this is origin of Indonesia, but actually ain't. 😂
*dissapointed noises*
Actually it originated in India and travelled to both China and S.E.A like how Buddhism and Hinduism went to rest of Asia through trade routes thats why Indonesian, Thailand puppetry have Indian epics. Video wrongly claims it originated in China.
@@otomackena7610 Lol I see you everywhere, check UNESCO it's from China
He is the only one that is enjoing.
Yeet early
Ee
Thats nothing, I can make a middle finger shadow puppet
Shadow puppetry originated in India not China. Get your facts right.
Proof please
UNESCO said China tho
Shadow puppetry is not exclusive to any culture alone. This art form can be seen in many cultures. India and China probably developed their own shadow puppet show independently.
