潮州皮影渊源考

陕西地区是中国影戏的发祥地,三大影系(包含关中影系,滦州影系,潮州影系)之一的潮州影即源于陕西。笔者综合了个人及同门师兄的田野考察,发现潮州影的老家就在陕西。这说明根植于东南沿海一带的福建、广东和台湾影戏,其本源都是陕西影戏。

Shaanxi is the cradle of Chinese shadow plays. Fieldwork suggests that Chaozhou shadow play-one of the three major shadow play families （the other two being Guanzhong shadow play and Luanzhou shadow play） in China-originated in Shaanxi. That means all shadow plays in eastern coastal Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan, may find their roots in Shaanxi.
