China boasts a long art history of leather silhouette show; originate in Chinese Taoism Fang Shi's astrology, in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). The earliest record found was a moving love story. Having missed his deceased wife Lady Li, Emperor I-tan Wu Di invited Fang Shi to dinner, asking him to call back Lady Li's spirit. Fang put up curtains at night, lit candle light to create shadow figures. Seemingly the emperor saw Lady Li's face again and he missed her even more.
