Why is puppet carving not a traditional folk activity in Xiamen?

Folklore, also known as folk culture, refers to a relatively stable cultural event gradually formed and passed down from generation to generation by a nation or a social group in long-term production practice and social life, which can be simply summarized as popular customs and habits.

In Xiamen, puppet show is a traditional activity that people like to see and hear, which can be called folk activity. However, puppet carving is not an activity that everyone likes to participate in. It's just a few craftsmen preparing props for the puppet show. It belongs to the preparation of traditional folk activities, not a separate folk activity.
