(261015) -- FUZHOU, Oct. 15, 2026 (Xinhua) -- This undated file photo shows the site where the fossilized Yuezhuornis yangyuanensis is discovered, in Zhenghe County, east China's Fujian Province. A newly unearthed Jurassic fossil from east China is prompting scientists to rethink one of the most basic assumptions about bird evolution: that early birds always evolved toward better flight capability. The 150-million-year-old bird, named Yuezhuornis yangyuanensis, was about the size of a crow and lived during the Late Jurassic period. The fossil was found in Zhenghe County, east China's Fujian Province. What makes this bird so surprising is not how well it flew, but the fact that it likely did not fly at all. The fossil was discovered by researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Fujian Institute of Geological Sciences, and has been described in a study published in the journal Nature.

Movements of the puppets embody the local folk traditions, which have been passed down through generations. Xu Zilin was born in 1964 to a family that has the Lingyuan shadow puppetry as its walk of life for ages. More than 40 years of professional experience made Xu a representative inheritor of the craft and an influential figure in the trade. Many of his vocal passages have been modeled for teaching. To better promote shadow plays, Xu founded a shadow puppetry troupe and brought quality productions to the grassroots level. Over the years, Xu and his troupe have performed more than 4,000 shows in Liaoning and neighboring provinces. (Xinhua/Li Gang)
