Glove Puppetry in Taiwan went through struggles and frustrations. Yet it also tasted all the glory and pride. There is a traditional art that created the unique sense of artistic era, and it still attracts teenagers of new generations to appreciate. This can be considered a miracle of Chinese traditional operas.

　　Since the development of glove puppet show in the Qing Dynasty, it has become increasingly common, especially in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou area. The glove puppet show has stricken out in terms of its puppets, music and stages. Puppeteers spring up, transforming a small form of art into an entertaining performance for all ages.

　　Until the mid-nineteenth century, puppet shows started to flourish in the Fujian area. Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Chaozhou seems to be the center of the palm play. The composition of the troupe also turned gradually from personal practice to master-apprentice mentoring. At that time, there were a lot of Fujian craftsman or apprentice came from Taiwan returned to Taiwan. They brought the glove puppetry to Taiwan and made an immediate hit. Since then, the glove puppet show is more developed. The form of performance also became more abundant. It has become China's most popular puppetry until today.
