在即將到來的春節(jié)，一場關于皮影戲的奇幻盛宴將在中國長沙拉開帷幕。充滿傳統(tǒng)魅力與藝術氣息的皮影戲表演，將帶領市民游客共同體驗這門歷史悠久的民間藝術綻放出的獨特光彩。

During the upcoming Spring Festival, a fantasy feast about shadow puppetry will kick off in Changsha, China. The shadow puppetry performances full of traditional charm and artistic flavor will lead citizens and tourists to experience the unique splendor of this time-honored folk art.

皮影戲是中華民族最古老的民間藝術形式之一，它不僅僅是以驢皮或牛皮為材料精心雕刻而成的造型藝術，更是一種融合了說唱與音樂的綜合藝術表演。這種通過光影展現(xiàn)的藝術，被譽為“電影的鼻祖”，是最早的卡通動畫之一，擁有深厚的群眾基礎和廣泛的社會影響，凝聚了中國傳統(tǒng)造型與表演藝術的精髓，成為人類非物質文化遺產(chǎn)的重要代表。

Shadow puppetry is one of the oldest folk art forms of the Chinese nation. It is not only a plastic art with carefully carved donkey hide or cowhide but also a comprehensive art performance integrating rap and music. This art shown through light and shadow is hailed as the "ancestor of film" and is one of the earliest cartoon animations. It has a solid mass base and extensive social influence, condensing the essence of Chinese traditional plastic and performing arts and becoming an important representative of human intangible cultural heritage.
