VERIFIED NOTES
可核查要点
- 中国皮影戏于 2011 年列入联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录。
- 影人可用皮革或纸制作，由艺人以操纵杆控制，在背后照明的半透明幕布上形成活动影像。
- 雕刻、操偶、歌唱、器乐和剧目知识可在家庭、戏班以及师徒之间传承，演出规模与地方用途并不一致。
01
历史坐标
Historical context
中国皮影戏以皮革或纸制彩色影人为表演角色，艺人用操纵杆让影人在背光的半透明幕布上形成活动影像，并以歌唱、音乐和叙事共同推进演出。
Chinese shadow puppetry uses colourful leather or paper figures manipulated with rods behind a backlit translucent screen, bringing image, song, music and storytelling together in performance.

核心看点
What to notice
观众看到的是幕布上的影像，完整表演却发生在幕前与幕后之间：影人的关节和操纵杆决定动作可能，灯光与幕布把实体转成剪影，歌唱、乐器和叙事赋予角色与情节。艺人可能同时操纵多个影人，也可能参与雕刻或演奏。学习时把影人制作、光影条件、操纵动作和声音分层记录，才能看见这门综合表演艺术的协作结构。
The audience sees silhouettes, but the full performance is built across the screen. Joints and rods shape possible movement; light and cloth turn objects into images; song, instruments and narration create character and story. Puppeteers may manipulate several figures and also carve or play music. Separating figure-making, lighting, manipulation and sound reveals the collaboration behind the theatre.
03
延续与学习
Continuity and learning
各地皮影戏在影人造型、唱腔、剧目、乐器和演出场合上都有差异。观察一个片段时，应记录地区、剧目、戏班或传承人及资料日期；不要用一件馆藏影人代替整场表演，也不要把某地色彩、关节数量或仪式用途概括成全国统一标准。
Regional traditions differ in figure design, vocal style, repertoire, instruments and occasion. A study record should identify place, play, troupe or bearer and source date. One museum figure cannot stand for a whole performance, and one region's colours, joint count or ritual use should not be treated as a national standard.
