I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watchedthem a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband's patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket."He's a brave man. "The clerk at the counter said, "Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn't change. So ,as before, he and his wife come in whenever there's a new art show.""But what dose he get out of the art?" I asked, "He can't see.""Can't see? You're wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do." The clerk said, "His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head."I learned something about patience, courage and love that day.

It used to be popular in the countryside because it was simple and cheap. It’s a mix of acting, singing and music. It tells us about historical stories, passing on (传递) customs and traditional culture.The puppets are usually made from paper or animal skin (皮肤). It is not easy to make them. In Shaanxi — the birthplace of shadow puppetry, puppet-makers have to follow 24 steps (步骤) to make a puppet. Each puppet usually has 11 parts, such as its head, legs and arms.Wang Haiyan’s father is a master (大师) of Shadow Puppetry from Shaanxi. When she was a kid, she helped her father make puppets. “They were my favourite toys,” Wang said. At around 13, she started to learn to make puppets and perform with her father. Now the 44-year-old lady is a master. She has her own workroom to pass on the art.These days, Wang came up with (提出) creative ways to make the folk art more popular. She works with companies that borrow elements (元素) of Shadow Puppetry for their own products. “From fashion and makeup products to souvenirs (纪念品), anything is possible,” Wang said.In 2016, Wang made shadow puppets based on the cartoon series Huyao Xiaohongniang, and put on a live performance. She used special colours and skills to make the performances more interesting. She teaches Shadow Puppetry classes in school as well. “I hope more young people can learn about the art!” she said.36．In which dynasty people didn’t know Shadow Puppetry?A．Shang Dynasty.B．Song Dynasty.C．Qing Dynasty.D．Yuan Dynasty.。
