The Inheritance Significance of Puppet Show

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), puppet shows became more colorful. In addition to performing traditional China opera programs, they also performed dramas, musicals, series and even appeared in advertisements. At the same time, puppet shows are also facing fierce competition with other art forms. Traditional puppet shows contain the ideological, moral and aesthetic consciousness of people of all ethnic groups everywhere, and should be supported and protected. On May 20th, 2006, the puppet show was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
