Quanzhou marionette, historically known as “string puppet”, originated from the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BC - 220 AD) ). Its rich falsetto singing and playing techniques of “pressed foot drums” and other rare musical instruments form a unique musical genre called “puppet melody”. Since the Ming Dynasty (1368 to 1644), it has spread to Taiwan and Chinese settlements in Southeast Asia, setting an example for cultural exchange.
