Chinese shadow puppetry has been added to the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, according to a statement of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on Nov. 27. Chinese shadow puppetry is a form of theatre whereby colourful silhouette figures perform traditional plays against a back-lit cloth screen, accompanied by music and singing. Puppeteers make the figures from leather or paper and manipulate them by means of rods to create the illusion of moving images. The puppeteers’ skills of simultaneously manipulating several puppets, improvisational singing, and playing various musical instruments are handed down in families and troupes. (Xinhua/Lu Bo’an)

Sweet Green Rice Balls

Sweet Green Rice Balls

The sweet green rice ball is a Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day) food popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces. It is also a must-have offering at ancestral rituals in the south of the Yangtze River. The custom of making sweet green rice balls dates back to the Zhou Dynasty over 2,000 years ago. One or two days before the Qingming Festival were designated as “cold food days”, during which hot cooking is banned.
