Paper Cutting Modle

I find a book about the shadow puppets show in the library, there are a lot of stories both in old Taiwan and China.



In the past, the shadow puppets show was simple but full with faith and moral spirit which promoted morality efficiently.



The shadow puppets doll is a great sample because it must connect with each other, having the same rules with paper cutting.



There are many basic culture stories in the book. The following story has a peaceful picture.





A Wish of Lotus



Lotus said, “I am the symbol of Buddhism. Buddhism is Buddha’s education, and also is the education of expounding the universe and human’s life”
In the education of the universe and human’s life, Buddha teaches us mercy, Jesus teaches us philanthropy, and Confucius teaches us charity. They express the same idea in different words. With every one put effort tighter to benefit human being and favor people!





A Tablet of Gods




Gods said ,“Those who ask gods and request Buddha! Never think that: just buying some offerings to worship me will ensure your health, wealth and things going as your wish. Don’t have blind faith in that: doing evil thing and following by repenting to me will promise you to be exempt from punishment. In fact, to worship gods is to remind us of keeping disciplines. To worship Buddha is to remind us of learning Buddhism. It must keep an upright mind before praying in any religion to be able to communicate with gods. Anyhow, the only way to change one’s destiny is practice: don’t do any evil thing, but do all the good thing. ”

臉譜色彩豐富,圖案不一,容易讓人感覺混亂、神秘。但實際上,臉譜可以歸納為一些基本的類型,由這些基本的類型,根據人物的性格、氣質等,再變化出許許多多的臉譜。每個臉譜都是以戲中人物的長相、性格等為依據的臉譜的色彩也有各自的含義。一般來講,顏色象徵了性格。
比如紅色,表示人物的忠勇義烈;黑色表示人物忠耿、正直、勇猛;黃色表示人物殘暴兇狠等等。當然這種對性格的象徵也不是絕對的。
