When talking about skeletons, what comes to your mind first? The answer is usually death. However, Skeleton Puppet Play by Li Song from the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) shows a different image of skeletons. It depicts a scene where an adult skeleton pulls the strings of a puppet, a smaller skeleton. What does this scene mean? Why was this ancient Chinese painting created? Professor Huang Xiaofeng from the Central Academy of Fine Arts shares his views.
