皮影艺术在中国有着悠久的历史,据《史书》记载在秦朝就有了影子艺术,那时只是很简单的木质和蜡烛造影,到了宋朝影子剧才达到高峰;到了民国以后,影子剧逐渐地完成了它的使命.但在今天的艺术界,影子剧人艺术作为一种独特的民间艺术样式,正在被人们所重新重视、爱戴,不少的人在收藏、在研究.它给后人提供了奇异的具有独特魅力的艺术表现形式.皮影艺术现在留在民间的已经很少了.很大部分皮影在文化大革命中被毁掉,有些留下来的,曾经冒了很大的危险,现在也没有多大用了,只是出于感情而保留了下来.这一部分艺人现在已经八十开外,有的已死掉了,儿孙们也都不懂,也不重视对皮影的保存,常常弃之于地窑偏仓,雨淋鼠嗑.这样,也就很难找到更好的影子了.
