泉州的提线木偶非常有名。
Quanzhou string puppetry is
very famous.
韩佳： 是啊。
Yes.
泉州可是中国的提线木偶之乡。
Quanzhou is home to Chinese
string puppetry.
提线木偶戏
String puppetry
是中国木偶戏当中

历史最久的一个剧种。
of Chinese theater.
王渊源：那它有多长的历史呢？
How old is it?
韩佳： 相传它源于汉代，
It is said to be originated
in the Han Dynasty
兴盛于唐宋。
and flourished in the Tang
and Song dynasties.
至今呢
So it is
已经有两千多年的历史了。
already more than 2,000
years old.
可以说它是一个非常古老的剧种。
It can be said to be a very

王渊源：“古老”就是指经历了久远的年代？
”Gulao” means ancient or old, right?
韩佳： 嗯。“古老”呢
Yes. “Gulao”
就是指经历了久远的年代。
means ancient or old.
王渊源：那我们可以说，古老的民族、
We can say an ancient people,
古老的风俗。
an age-old custom.
韩佳： 没错儿。好像我们刚才说的，
Exactly. Just as we said,
Tā shì yíge gǔlǎo de jù zhǒng

王渊源：韩佳，这个地方真是太棒了，
Han Jia, this is really a
very nice place
有这么多木偶啊！
with so many puppets!
韩佳： 是啊。
Yes indeed.
锦绣庄里一共有大大小小
In Jinxiu Village, there are
形态各异的木偶三千多个呢。
over 3,000 puppets of various
sizes and shapes.
这里的木偶不仅数量多，
There are not only plentiful
puppets here,
而且种类还很丰富，
there is also a good variety
of puppetry,
比如，有提线木偶、有儿童木偶、
such as string puppetry, children puppetry
有掌中木偶等等，应有尽有。
and glove puppetry.
王渊源：看得出来，
I can see,
除了品种、数量多之外，
apart from their big variety
and big number,
这些木偶的制作工艺
the puppets here
也是非常精细的。
are all made very exquisitely.
韩佳： 是啊。你别看这些木偶
Yes. These puppets aren’t very big,
制作起来可复杂了。
but making them it is
very complicated.
王渊源：“个头儿”怎么讲啊？
What does “getour” mean?
韩佳： “个头儿”
”Getour”
就是指身体或者是物体的大小。
refers to height or size.
王渊源：“个头儿”就是指身体或者是物体的大小。
So “getour” refers to height or size.
那说我的个头儿很大，可以吗？
Can I say I am very big,
can’t I?
韩佳： 可以啊。
Sure.
我们还可以说木偶的个头儿很小。
We can also say the puppet is
very small.
Mùǒu de gètóur hěn xiǎo
木偶 的 个头儿 很 小。
The puppet is very small.
那制作木偶要经过好多道工序。
Making a puppet requires
many procedures.
我们就拿木偶的头来举例吧。
Take the head of a puppet
for example.
要经过粗坯、雕刻、磨光、
The making has to go through
molding, carving, polishing
彩绘等几道工序。
and painting.
然后还要根据人物的不同造型，
Then according to the type
of character,
配上胡须、头发，
beard, hair
还有一些其他的装饰物。
and other ornaments have
to be attached.
王渊源：哇，这步骤是够多的呀！
Wow, there so many procedures!
韩佳： 渊源，你看，
Yuanyuan, look,
这边这些柜子里展示的
on display here in the showcase
就是从一块樟木

process from a piece of
到制成木偶头成品的全过程。
camphorwood to a finished
puppet head.
王渊源：是这样啊？
Is it like this?
韩佳： 对啊。
Yes.
那除了木偶头的制作之外，
In addition to the head,
身子和四肢
the body and the four limbs
of a puppet
也是采用木刻的方法。
are also made using the wood
carving technique.
要求木偶的每一个关节
Each joint of the puppet
都能够活动起来。
is required to be moveable.
旁白： 想让一个原本没有生命的小木偶
Making a small lifeless puppet
自如地活动起来，
freely moveable requires
除了要有这讲究的制作工艺之外，
not only excellent production techniques,
还需要演员们用熟练的技术来操纵它。
but also a skilled performer who
controls it.
为了能够直观地感受一下
In order to get an intuitive feel
提线木偶的表演精华，
for the quintessence of
string puppetry,
我们慕名找到了
we consulted Lin Wenrong,
an accomplished
泉州木偶剧团的林文荣老师。

Mr. Lin, someone told me that
这木偶一般都要用十六根线来控制。
a puppet is controlled by 16 strings.
是吗？
Is that true?
嘉宾： 对了，对了。
Yes, yes.
基本的一个人物的形象
A human puppet’s
它的基本动作就要十六根线。

by 16 strings.
但是如果一个动作多了

一个主要角色，
such as of a principal character,

be increased to 36.
王渊源：那么多根线啊！
That many strings!
嘉宾： 对了，对了。

very hard.
再下来呢，
Second,
咱们中国有一句成语
just as the Chinese saying goes,
叫熟能生巧。

“熟能生巧”
”Shu neng sheng qiao”
就是指熟练了就能产生巧办法。

”Shu neng sheng qiao” is
an idiom.
就是指熟练了就能产生巧办法，
It means if you’re skilled enough,
或者是找出窍门。
you’ll know the knack.
王渊源：看来要想让木偶
It seems making a puppet
做出各种连贯的动作，
perform various concerted movements
一定要勤练习啊。
needs a lot of practice.
嘉宾： 对了，对了。
Yes, yes.
这手上的功夫确实是不简单的。

王渊源：对。
That’s right.
韩佳： 这样吧，
