In order to adapt to the screen-shadow performance form, it combines abstract and realistic techniques, and apply boldly complanate, artistic, cartoon and opera features to characters and scenes in shadow play, synthesized all the above art forms. Patterns of the make-up and costume in it are vivid and visual, overdrawn and humorous, with some simple and bold, or others delicate and romantic. Plus, being smoothly carved, flamboyantly painted, physically transparent, the figures and scenes products in shadow play are really pleasing to the eye and mind, and make it hard for people to put them down. Products of leather-shadow puppets (shortened as shadow puppet) are not only being used in the performance of shadow play, but can be played with hands, as well as used as decorations inside placed in front of windows or on wall. Thanks to their unsophisticated and graceful model and rich ethnic flavors, they are highly praised for their artistic value for appreciation and collection value.
