Puppet show is a form of traditional opera in China, where artists manipulate puppets to perform stories. China's puppet show rose in the Han Dynasty and developed and improved in the Tang Dynasty. It can be used to perform musicals and puppet dances. The Song Dynasty was an important period for the development of Chinese puppet shows, and the production and manipulation techniques of puppets were further matured. With the development of social economy, puppet shows in Ming dynasty have been popular all over the country, and the puppet shows in economically developed southern provinces are more prosperous, so they are called "southern good puppets". After the Qing Dynasty, the puppet show entered its heyday, with a wide range of popularity and more and more performances, including western Liaoning puppet show, Zhangzhou puppet show, Quanzhou puppet show, Jinjiang puppet show, Shaoyang puppet show, Gaozhou puppet show, Chaozhou iron puppet show, northern Sichuan puppet show, Shiqian puppet show, Yang Di puppet show, Taishun medicine puppet show and Lingao puppet show.
