Similar skills were later called "hanging silk puppet". It is also called hanging silk puppet, pulling thread puppet, pulling thread puppet, pulling thread puppet, and pulling thread puppet, and it is not the same.

It is also commonly known as: hanging thread play.

It is said that it originated from the siege of Emperor Gaozu of Han Bai Deng. Military advisor Chen Ping made a strange plan and used wood as a beauty. He sang and danced at the east, west and south city gates. The Huns outside the city gathered at the three city gates to watch, leaving only the northern gate empty. So Emperor Gaozu escaped from the northern gate. There is a saying that "the master Chen Ping was a puppet, and the Han Dynasty ordered the world to protect all people."

Later generations of Yuefu Miscellaneous Records also contain records that "(puppets) arose from the Han ancestors, and were surrounded by Maodun. On one side of the city, Maodun's wife, the strongest soldiers, and the hunger strikes in the crane. Chen Ping's visit to the emperor was jealous, so he made puppets, moved the mechanism, and danced in the siege. When the emperor saw him, he said that he was a living person (living person). He thought that he would take the prostitute from the city, Maodun would retreat."

"Tongdian" also records: "Kulezi, also called Kuipaizi, works as a doll for plays and is good at singing and dancing. It was originally a loss of family fun, and was used at the end of the Han Dynasty for Jiahui."

In other words, there are already funerals and funerals, and puppets with performance functions and similar sizes to real people. Judging from the physical objects unearthed in later generations, their limbs are composed of thirteen wooden strips, and their joints can be moved, sit, stand, and kneel. They are vivid and flexible.

Get back to the point.

Su Yue was also the first time he used sulfur. It was also too much. It was not until the afternoon that the remaining smoke was gone. Fortunately, seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Zhi and others retreated to the upper vent to avoid it. No accidental injuries were caused.

After the poisonous smoke drifted away, Su Yue wore a soft and tough one-piece sheep leather protective suit and drilled into the ground from the "hidden corpse cave" that the puppet master broke out from the ground. The hidden mystery was revealed.

As Su Yue had expected, the dune platform that looked original and had been emptied by the vicissitudes of life, the interior was long since emptied by thieves. It was replaced by vertical and horizontal brackets, rails, gears and mechanisms. Carefully studied, from mummy preparation, puppet production, sound and light effects, and on-site dispatch of puppet masters. All kinds of mechanisms are available.

When Su Yue ordered people to dismantle a "dune puppet" that had not yet risen from the ground to display it for Lu Zhi and others on the spot, the last inexplicable shock also disappeared.

A single set of dune puppets is placed in a wooden frame with open faces on all sides. The puppet body cavity contains a wooden "mechanical support". Later, it was named "mechanical support" by Liu Bei. The mechanism bones imitate the human body structure and can be controlled by the control rope. One can imitate various human body movements. Two can play a fixed role. Even after being cut in half, only the upper half of the mechanism bracket needs to be kept intact and can still be driven by the control rope. This is the principle that half of the corpse can still crawl.

The frame is also a mechanism with lifting function. It can be lifted out of the ground through the roof plate that is hollowed out in advance on the head. The ground is covered with a layer of bottom mud with special viscosity and toughness. When the dune puppet breaks through the ground, it can form an effect similar to a "mole hole". The craftsman has seen it and the bottom mud attached to the open-hole top plate is the "red glue soil" everywhere in the water basin.

When it comes to red clay, we need to mention an allusion - "self-recommendation".

Mao Sui was a Zhao man during the Warring States Period. He recommended himself to the King of Pingyuan to seek help from the State of Chu to resist Qin, which led to the alliance between Zhao and Chu, and thus created a well-known allusion. However, Mao Sui's achievements in water control were rarely known.

By the way, because Mao Sui made great contributions to recruit troops, King Zhao appointed him as a counselor and a fief of Quliang. Although the land in this area was fertile, it was low-lying. Fushui, Mingshui and other places often flooded and caused disasters, and the people lived a very poor life. After Mao Sui took office, he built a large embankment and forced Mingshui to divert the route northward. He also ordered the civilians to use red gum soil (clay) and mud to apply red gum soil (clay) and mud to thicken the gum riverbed four or five feet without leaving a gap. After that, the gum water not only had no chance of collapse, but the river channel was smooth and it was poured down thousands of miles. Such a number of measures were taken to allow the people of Quliang to have enough food and clothing, and live and work in peace (note by the storyteller: I imagine that the gum soil will be hardened into ceramics by the scorching sun and then roasted with fire. In this way, Mao Sui can be called the pioneer of "river hardening").

After talking about the outer frame and the inner support, look at the rope control.

Unlike the common hanging silk puppets where the rope is exposed and the rope is hanging on the top. The dune puppet is "hidden in the rope, the rope falls under it". The puppet master hides below. When controlling the rope, it turns up and pulls it down.

The truth is even more revealed when I take off my outer cloak and reveal my torso.

Similar to the common puppets nowadays, the torso of the dune puppet is also composed of thirteen segments. However, the wooden torso of ordinary puppets is replaced by mummy torso. The control rope passes directly from the bone marrow inside the bone and through the soles of the feet. It is like the meridians are connected, so it is very secret.

How to walk?

The dune puppet is fixed by the mechanism bracket and the frame. That is to say, the dune puppet can only perform various anthropomorphic actions on the spot. What really makes it walk is the frame. The wheels are installed under the frame and can be moved flexibly. When the frame goes there, the dune puppet will also go wherever it goes.

There is another detail, which is also very important. Why does the ground remain flat when the dune puppet connected by mechanism brackets move together with the hidden underground frame? Isn’t there a wooden pole standing up?

In fact, the principle is not complicated. The "sliding puzzle" similar to later generations: divide a pattern into several small squares, leaving only a space, use this extra space to slide other small squares, and piece together the messed pattern again.

In other words, the ground that was secretly divided into countless small squares is also a mechanism that can be moved.

However, this only flaw, that is, the 'only space', is hidden at the soles of the dune puppet's feet, and is covered by the wide "shang (hem).

A glimpse of the picture shows that the Yellow Turban Thief took great pains to the point. The tacit cooperation of a group of puppet masters, coupled with psychological hints, sound and light renderings. This show can be a show of real gods and ghosts, and it can be said to be completely flawless.

The "Corpse King Xiaoren Emperor" wrapped in a golden jade suit all over his body has a more refined and complex internal structure than the ordinary "puppet corpse soldiers". It contains poison smoke, venom, poison arrow and other hidden weapons. The facial features are also more vivid.

As for Gao Lan being knocked away by a punch, it is actually even simpler.

At critical moments, everyone has the instinct to survive. When they swung their fists, they looked up at the conditioned reflex, flew to avoid them, and threw themselves out. They were extremely frightened and fainted.

As for the rapid dehydration of the corpse, Su Yue also found a method. After bleeding, salt was stuffed into the body cavity and baked on a charcoal fire with a suitable temperature. It was actually dried. In fact, it could be air-dried with reference to the raisins. It just took a little longer.

Then cut it into thirteen pieces and assemble it into a mummy doll.

There are many things to look at. A yearly drama used by the Yellow Turban thief to pretend to be a god, but it contains many advanced skills.

Su Yue was a little happy and enjoyed it.

If Lu Zhi hadn't personally urged Su Yue, he would have been intoxicated. He would have reluctantly left him, and took out several complete puppet frames and brought them back to the camp for display.
