The Chinese Shadow Play Museum in Beijing's Xuanwu District has decided
to apply for the Guinness World Record for its 2.008-meter high puppet,
which was made in imitation of the famous general Guan Yu or Guan Gong
from the Three Kingdoms period.

The Shadow play is one of the oldest genres of drama in China. It came
into being during the Han Dynasty (206 B.C. - A.D. 220) and has a more
than two thousand years history. Chinese Shadow is a dramatic form using
lanterns to project shadows onto the screen.
