The Puppet Show (Mu'ouxi) The Puppet Show (kuileixi) is better
known as mu'ouxi (play of wooden dolls), in the country, which
has its roots in remote times. It is said that King Mu of the
Zhou (c.10th century B.C.) of oral history, on his way home from
a big hunt on the Kunlun Mountain, saw a choral dance performed
by Yanshi, a skilled carpenter, with wooden dolls made by
himself. However, it was not until the Han Dynasty that the
puppet show was mentioned as a full-fledged form of amusement.
Still, that puts it at least 2,000 years back in Chinese
history. based on material offered by Mr.Du Feibao As in most
other countries, three types of puppet shows are presented in
China: the rod-top puppet, the marionette and the glove puppet.
Of course, the first type is most popular in China. The puppet,
generally less than a metre tall, is made with true-to-life
features. It is raised overhead at the top of a stick by the
puppeteer with one hand and manipulated by him with the other
hand moving a pair of wire rods. T
