Dacheng Play

Dacheng play is also named Fashi Play, Monk Play, Douist play and originated from the religion and folk activities in Quanzhou. Formed by combining Buddhist and Taoist activities, it is a religious play, rarely seen in China. The play provides religious services for both Buddhism and Taoism. Dacheng Play was born in Quanzhou and nourished by Quanzhou folk arts, and is especially deeply influenced by thread controlled puppet plays. After emerging as a new play, it has displayed its uniqueness in Southern Fujian folk operas due to its super Kongfu and technique.

Dacheng play is known for its kongfu which applies Quanzhou South Shaolin boxing. The opera has preserved lots of folk stunts, acrobatics and dances. By adopting Taoist and Buddhist music, and “Puppet melody” of thread controlled puppets, the music of the opera displays a unique religious charm.
