01 历史渊源 Historical Origin

望奎从清代起成为海伦府辖地,这里集聚了大量的中原移民,其中尤以河北移民为多,因而使用冀东口语在当地极为广泛。18世纪末,河北乐亭皮影艺人到望奎落脚演唱,由此开始,皮影戏一直在当地延续发展。20世纪50年代,望奎皮影戏一度走红,打出了黑龙江皮影戏“江北派”的大旗。至70年代,它已经成为望奎主要的艺术演出样式。Since the Qing Dynasty, Wangkui County has been under the jurisdiction of Hailun Prefecture. Here gathered a large number of immigrants from the Central Plains, especially from Hebei. Therefore, the use of eastern Hebei dialect in Wangkui County is extremely common. At the end of the 18th century, the shadow play artists from Leting, Hebei settled down at Wangkui to perform shadow plays. Since then, Wangkui shadow play has continued to develop in local area. In the 1950s, Wangkui Shadow Play went viral and became the representative of the “Jiangbei School” of Heilongjiang shadow plays.
