Fujian puppetry is a Chinese performing art consisting mainly of string and hand puppetry. Puppetry in Fujian has developed a set of characteristic techniques of performance and crafting puppets, as well as a series of plays and music.

Since the 1980s, however, the number of young people learning puppetry has diminished due to socioeconomic changes transforming their lifestyles, on the one hand, and the long period of training required to master the complex performing techniques, on the other.

In response, concerned communities, groups and bearers formulated the strategy for the training of coming generations of Fujian puppetry practitioners. The key objectives are to safeguard the transmission of Fujian Puppetry and to create a new generation of puppetry practitioners.
