Mu Ran said calmly: "Too much traditional culture has disappeared. We can only say that this era is too cruel. But there are still people working hard for these declining things. They are worthy of admiration."

Mu Jin agreed: "Well, we can still barely see these traditional cultures now, but in the future, our descendants will probably only be able to read about them in history books."

Studio--

[I didn’t expect there would be a shadow play! ]

[I have seen shadow play on TV, but never in real life. This time it satisfied my curiosity.]

【Look at the people who perform shadow puppetry, they are all elderly people. There are no young people learning this. It’s such a pity. 】

Everyone in the live broadcast room sighed, but they were helpless.

Central control room.

Qin Zizhou said in surprise: "Xue Ning, I didn't expect there would be a shadow play performance."

Shen Xue Ning said: "The main reason is that shadow puppetry has declined. Give them a chance and see if they can promote it. It would be a pity if it became extinct."

Qin Zizhou said: "There are too many extinct ancient cultures. How can you help them all?"

Shen Xue Ning wasn't that greedy: "Then I'll help as many as I can."

Qin Zizhou nodded: "That's right."

Shen Xue Ning watched the shadow play carefully for a while: "Calm down and watch it, the shadow play is still good."

Qin Zizhou commented pertinently: "I think shadow puppetry should be practiced from a young age. Nowadays, children have to study from a young age and are very stubborn, so they are unlikely to learn it."

Shen Xue Ning nodded: "So this is also one of the reasons for the decline."

Qin Zizhou finally let it go: "Let it be."

Inside the arena.

Qin Dianwen's mother looked up at the shadow play. She has lived for almost fifty years. When she was a child, shadow play was very popular, but with the development of the times, shadow play gradually declined. She has not seen a shadow play for forty years, but she did not expect to see it here.

Shen Xue Ning is really good, she actually gave them a chance!

Just as I was thinking about it, the judge next to me came over and asked, "Big sister, what do you think of this shadow play?"

Qin Dianwen's mother said pertinently: "As an important part of traditional culture, it should be carried forward, but it is not adapting to the times and can only decline."

The judge sighed: "Then how should we score? There is no reference."

Qin Dianwen's mother thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what you think. If you think it's good, give it a high score. If it's not good, then don't worry about it."

The judges shook their heads and said, "We feel helpless when we see traditional culture declining."

Qin Dianwen's mother nodded: "Yes, but many things will be submerged in the trend of the times, and individuals are powerless."

The judge looked a little dejected: "If we had the ability to reverse the situation, we wouldn't be sighing here."

Qin Dianwen's mother comforted him, "Don't think too much. Everything is predetermined and cannot be changed by human power."

The judge nodded: "Yes."

The eyes of several elderly people who were performing the shadow play at this moment gradually became hot. They were afraid that after this performance, they would never have the chance to perform again.

But it’s okay, so many people watched my last performance, it was worth it.

Indeed, many people watch it. In addition to small bloggers like Mu Jin and Muran who do live broadcasts, there are many other small bloggers who also do live broadcasts, presenting the shadow puppet show to the fans in the live broadcast room in an all-round way.

Of course, the biggest crowd was still Shen Xuening's live broadcast room, which attracted more than 30 million people. Everyone saw the shadow play and the decline of a culture.

Shen Xuening's live broadcast room——

【It makes me want to cry, what’s going on? 】

[This is my first time watching shadow play, and I feel it will be my last time. It is such a pity that traditional culture cannot be passed on.]

[My grandfather said that when he was a child, shadow puppetry was performed in the streets and alleys and was very popular. Now, it is almost impossible to see shadow puppetry.]

【…】

Many people in the live broadcast room also expressed their regret and felt sad about the decline and disappearance of traditional culture.

The audience at the second stadium——

"It's worth coming here today. I didn't expect that I could see the classic performance of my grandfather. It's quite good."

"The shadow play, the shadow play, actually looks quite sophisticated."

"If you ask me, we should turn the opera house into a place to perform our traditional culture and stop worshipping foreign things. Are those piano performances really that good?"

"..."

Everyone at the scene expressed their opinions in a low voice, and it was obvious that there was still a high level of recognition for our traditional culture.

Despite everyone's recognition of traditional culture, shadow puppetry will also come to an end.

At this time, an old man walked up to the host and said, "We want to perform another show. Is that okay with you guys?"

The host said, "One group can only perform one show. Sir, you should leave the stage."

The old man was reluctant to leave: "After this performance, we may not have another chance. Give us another chance, we don't even need the bonus."

The host was helpless: "Uncle, we have already made arrangements, we really can't let you perform one more show."

Shen Xuening saw this scene from the control room. He called the host and said, "Let me perform."

The host hesitated: "If he performs one more show, we will have to postpone the end."

Shen Xue Ning said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a show."

The host nodded: "Then I'll arrange it right away."

The old man was delighted when he heard the host's words, and he began to mutter: "What kind people you are, really, you are so kind, good people will definitely be rewarded."

The host walked up to the stage and said, "Hello everyone, I have something to announce here. Several of our shadow puppet artists are reluctant to leave our stage and want to perform another show for everyone to fulfill their wish. Please welcome them with applause..."

Loud applause echoed in the stadium.

The host continued, "The next show that the artists would like to perform is 'Picking up Jade Bracelets'."

"The story of picking up the jade bracelet is based on the love story of Mr. Fu Peng and Sun Yujiao. It shows folk wisdom through the ingenious plot of "lost bracelet and picked up bracelet". Now please enjoy the performances of the masters..."

The host left the stage after he finished speaking.

The old man returned to the stage, took out a new shadow puppet, and began to perform behind the screen.

The old man who beat the gongs and drums took the lead in creating the atmosphere...

Everyone stared at the performance of the old men on the stage, and some soft-hearted people couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

Shen Xuening's live broadcast room——

[These old masters must have been reluctant to give up shadow puppetry and asked to perform a second show. You know, they may never be able to perform on stage again.]

[It's really pitiful for these old masters. They must want to pass on the shadow play, but there is no one to pass it on, so it has to end in their hands. ]

[My eyes are hot and I want to cry. Why? 】

[Alas, the times are changing, and traditional culture is declining. It would be great if the higher-ups could take some action.]

[Blogger, how about developing shadow puppetry? ]

Shen Xue Ning wants to develop, but she will not go against the times. She will only provide assistance as much as possible. For example, in shadow puppetry, if the masters want to perform, she will provide them with a stage, but that is all she can do.

The shadow play received a high score of 90 and is now ranked at the top of the big screen, rolling along with other programs.

Several veteran masters are still performing immersively at this moment. I wonder if they also received high scores.

Cowshed.

Grandpa Shen placed his mobile phone on a wooden board on the wall. The screen of the mobile phone was divided into three areas, each area containing a live broadcast scene.

At this moment, Grandpa Shen was staring at the middle area intently, humming a few words from time to time.

Seeing how focused he was, Niu Ye couldn't help but walk over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Grandpa Shen replied: "Watching the shadow play."

Niu Ye was surprised: "Shadow play?" He looked at the screen of his mobile phone, "It really is a shadow play. Is this Ningning's competition?"

Grandpa Shen turned around and waved to Grandpa Niu: "Yes, all three of them. Stop working and come over to take a look. Do you miss them?"

Uncle Niu said without hesitation: "Of course I miss it. When I was a child, the masters came to the village to perform shadow puppetry. We hid in the arms of adults and watched intently. In the blink of an eye, we are all old."

Grandpa Shen fell into reminiscence: "Yes, I still remember that I sat on my grandfather's lap and watched "Journey to the West". I was so engrossed in it that I didn't even want to blink."

Uncle Niu laughed and said, "I am the same. The master has been performing for several hours, but we kids won't let him go. We want to watch more performances."

Grandpa Shen said: "I remember watching shadow puppet shows when I was a teenager, but I stopped after I got married."

Niu Ye agreed: "Yes, we are from the same village, so if you watch me, I will watch it too."

Grandpa Shen was filled with emotion: "I never thought I could still watch shadow puppetry when I'm old."

Uncle Niu looked at the shadow play on the screen and was suddenly immersed in many memories.

Not only them, many elderly people are immersed in memories. After all, this is their childhood, the only color in that gray childhood.

After the second shadow play performance, several masters couldn't help but shed tears. They cried while packing up their things, but they felt relieved in their hearts and they had no regrets.

The staff came on stage to help move things...

The old masters refused: "We will move it, you don't have to do anything. If these things are broken, we can't find anyone to fix them."

The staff had no choice but to not touch it and only lend a hand occasionally.

An old man said, "Let's donate these things so that the younger generations can see them."

The other elderly people nodded: "Okay, we will go donate it later."

These words are very sad to hear, but no one can change it.

The competition continued, but the old masters left a very deep impression on people, and everyone remembered their two performances for a long time.

Shen Xuening said to Qin Zizhou: "Go ask a few masters if they are willing to stay in the scenic area and perform twice a week?"

Qin Zizhou looked at Shen Xuening, and Xuening still negotiated: "Okay, I'll go ask now."
