Typical Types of Culture

Taiwan's art and culture are imbued with Chinese identity because it was originally a part of China. Perhaps that is why the art and culture of Taiwan and Vietnam have many similarities. Typical is the art of traditional puppetry. Puppetry has appeared in Taiwan for a long time. The artists will use their skillful techniques to control the puppets in the most flexible way, creating an engaging story. The unique feature of Taiwanese puppetry is that the show will be accompanied by lively sounds and rhythmic drum beats following the story.

In addition to puppetry, Peking opera is also the face of Taiwanese art and culture. Peking opera is a form of theatrical art that re-enacts a story or legend through the characteristic singing of Peking opera. That song is often compared to the opera of the West. The characteristic of Peking opera is that the performer wears heavy makeup. Although it was once colonized by many Western countries, the core of Taiwan's art culture is still oriental, bearing the spirit of China.
