The Pinggu Donkey Leather Shadow Puppet Carving Art originated with the introduction of Shadow Play in eastern Hebei into the Pinggu district. Over time, it has evolved and developed as it merged with the local culture.

The traditional creation of "shadow figures" primarily involves the utilization of donkey leather as the main material and includes various processes, such as designing, carving, and coloring. Today, "shadow figures" have transcended their original role as props for shadow plays and become extraordinary art pieces highly appreciated for their aesthetic and collectible value.
