Characteristics of Quanzhou Puppet

The first blank is carved from camphor wood, put on the back, covered with soil, polished, painted and decorated with clothes. Quanzhou puppet has a complete image structure and exquisite production, especially the carving and pastel techniques of the puppet head, which are unique. Quanzhou's puppet head has a clear outline and refined lines, which inherits the carving and painting styles of the Tang and Song Dynasties. On the basis of inheriting his traditional skills, contemporary puppet head production pays more attention to exaggeration and deformation, especially to individuality and expressiveness. It is a well-known folk craft treasure at home and abroad.
