As far as the shape of shadow puppet characters is concerned, the regional characteristics are very distinct. On a large scale, the two regions of northwest and northeast of China have formed mature independent, complete and systematic aesthetic models with strong local folk decoration characteristics.
The traditional shadow puppet in Northwest China, represented by Shaanxi, is characterized by delicate and beautiful figures.
The traditional shadow puppet in Northeast China, represented by Hebei Province, is simple, rough and elegant. The different characteristics of these models reflect the different aesthetic habits and emotional temperament of the people all over the country.
And in the Northeast National shadow play art, it also retains and accumulates the deep connotation of the northern fishing and hunting culture, and there are a lot of symbol programs in the shadow play modeling.
