Which is the earliest movie shot in China? Please, everyone 3Q

In 1905, the first Chinese film was born. Beijing Fengtai Photo Studio shot China's first movie "Dingjun Mountain". It marked the official birth of Chinese cinema. The film records several clips such as the "Dance of the Knife" in the Peking Opera "Dingjun Mountain" performed by the famous Peking Opera performing artist Tan Xinpei. The owner of the Thai Photo Studio, Ren Qingtai (also known as Jingfeng), is the actual director, and the photographer Liu Zhonglun serves as the photographer. Tan Xinpei also became the first Chinese film actor. In December, the Quanxian Tea House in Tianjin's French Concession was renamed "Quanxian Movie Theater" because of the continuous staging of American movies. Since then, it has been mainly showing movies. This should be the earliest cinema in China with documented records.
