Chinese puppetry, on the other hand, is a traditional culture that began as early as the 10th Century during the Sung Dynasty. Two forms of Chinese puppetry include marionette theater and shadow theater. Both forms were highly developed even back in the Sung Dynasty. In China, puppetry is considered to be an art of tremendous visual and aural attraction. In Taiwan, there is an additional form of puppetry called the glove puppet theater. Immigrants from the southern coast of the Chinese mainland introduced puppetry to Taiwan in the early 19th Century. With the advancement in time, puppetry in Taiwan acquired its own distinct cultural features and artistic styles. The most widely used puppetry is the string marionette. Shows are based on religious purposes other than entertaining audiences. Some consider puppet shows to be a form of appreciation to the gods or to drive away evil. Shadow puppetry in Taiwan originated from the Chaochow School of shadow puppetry. Shadow plays were popular in Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung during the Ching Dynasty (1644-1911AD). This method of puppetry is based on light penetrating through a translucent sheet of cloth; the shadows are silhouettes seen by audience in profile or face on. These plays are often supplemented by 'priest melodies', which are considered to be a priceless assets.

To avoid any trouble with the ghosts, activities such as traveling, moving, getting married, swimming, etc. are avoided and put off until after the Ghost month. Many things are done to please the ghosts, such as burning paper money, entertaining them with festivals, holding parades, operas, and presenting them with sumptuous banquets. There are huge displays of sacrifice during this month to appease the ghosts. Also, bamboo poles are erected to invite the ghosts in and to help the lost ghosts find their way.
