China's Highest Shadow Puppet to Apply for Guinness World Record


    The 2.008-meter-high shadow puppet in the image of Guan Yu (160-219), a celebrated Chinese military general during the late Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms period is the highest one of its kind in China.

    The Chinese Shadow Play Museum in Beijing's Xuanwu District has decided to apply for the Guinness World Record.

    The Shadow play is one of the oldest genres of drama in China. It came into being during the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. - A.D. 220) and has a more than two thousand years history. Chinese Shadow is a dramatic form using lanterns to project shadows onto the screen. link
