Where does the phrase "die a friend, not a pauper" come from?

The phrase "dead Taoist friends don't die poor" comes from the catchphrase of Huang Junxiong's character "bad-tailed Taoist" (bad-tailed means unlucky in southern Fujian), who is a hilarious villain who often comes up with bad ideas that lead to his big brother's doom. In the play, "Bad Tail Taoist" is a hilarious villain who often comes up with bad ideas that lead to his big brother's doom, and then slips away when he sees that the situation is unfavorable.

Bububu Opera (Minnan pronunciation: boo dei hi), also known as Bubu Puppet Theater, hand-operated puppet theater, handbag puppet theater, palm theater, small cages, and finger-flower theater, is a kind of theater originating in Quanzhou or Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China in the 17th century; It is a traditional local theater genre performed with cloth puppets mainly circulated in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, Fujian (southern Fujian region), Chaoshan, Guangdong and Taiwan.

The head of the cloth puppet is carved out of wood into a hollow human head, and in addition to the head of the puppet, the palm of the puppet and the foot of the puppet, the torso and limbs of the puppet body of the cloth puppet are made of fabric for the costume; during the performance, the gloves will be put into the costume of the puppet for the puppet show.

Because in the early days of this type of performance, the body of the puppet was very much like a "bag made of fabric", hence the common name of Bu Bu Dai Opera. It was one of the most commonly seen folk opera performances at many early temple festivals to welcome the gods.
