Every folk custom day or festival day, the urban and rural areas of Tongan are filled with the sound of drums and gongs, and puppet shows are competing to appear, attracting crowds of spectators. Puppet show, also known as "palm puppet show", originated during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. A scholar in Quanzhou (Tongan was originally part of Quanzhou Prefecture) performed the puppet show by holding it out of the curtain, speaking, singing and performing. After it was introduced to Tongan, it was called "puppet show". Puppet actors use five fingers to manipulate puppets to perform. The performers have to speak and sing, and one person sings multiple roles. Different characters in the play have different artistic treatments. Puppet show pays great attention to the art of lines and the changes in voice and emotion, so that the characters' language expression is personalized. In the early days, puppet show used a row of buildings as the stage, but in modern times it has been changed to a world-style stage. The actors, bands, lights and scenery complement each other, and the art has become more perfect.
