Shanghai - Xinchang Ancient Town - Luogushu Museum

"Luogushu, boasting a history of around 1800 years, was initially a production of Chinese ancient witch culture originally called Taibu or Taibao. In remote antiquity, human intended to ask favors from gods due to their relative incompetence in front of Nature. Since the Qing Dynasty, Taibaoshu has begun to appear in teahouse and other performing stages in South China, and gradually developed into a folk art form."
