Nuo Shadow
Description
The traditional patterns of paper-cutting, the unique light and shadow of shadow puppets and techniques can add different colors to Nuo opera. In the selection of fragments, I chose the "Millennium Nuo" in the "Zhou Cang cut demon" this paragraph. "Nuo" is a kind of ancient witch culture in our country. It is often manifested as a cultural phenomenon that ancient people ask gods to drive away ghosts and epidemics through dance. It is an art form for people to express their wishes. This chapter is the story of people in the face of imp infringement, Guan Yu sent his general Zhou Cang with the dragon crescent moon sword to expel ghosts, expressing people's will to fight bravely and not fear danger in the face of outsiders infringement, is the embodiment of the spiritual civilization of the Chinese nation since ancient times, and demonstrates the spiritual strength of the Chinese nation that is not afraid of hardships and dangers, optimistic and brave to fight. The main purpose of this animation is to express the praise of Chinese traditional culture and spiritual connotation through the two art forms of Chinese traditional culture shadow puppet and Nuo opera. As an excellent traditional art form that has been circulated for a long time in China, Nuo opera is the spiritual carrier of people's life. Nuo opera has a great influence on local small operas in some areas of China, such as Huangmei Opera in Anhui Province. Some of the traditional tunes come from Nuo opera. Therefore, Nuo opera is also known as "the living fossil of Chinese opera art. But in today's Nuo opera inheritance and circulation are low, not as good as other dramas. It is also difficult to find clear and complete videos of Nuo opera on the Internet. Combine it with shadow puppet art, and then show it in the form of animation, hoping to coruscate its new vitality, so that more people can see Nuo opera, understand Nuo opera, like Nuo opera and then inherit Nuo opera.
