Table 1

Table 1 showed three items of data which were for puppetry “whether people were fond of it”, “whether it should be promoted”, and “whether it would be continued for the next ten years in Taiwan”. Majority of the respondents were fond of puppetry (frequency = 78, 86.7%) and considered it should be promoted (freq. = 73, 80.2%). In addition, 78.9% of them deemed glove puppetry would be continued for the next ten years in Taiwan (freq. = 71). However, minority of the respondents didn’t like it (10%), and there was no need to promote it (10%). Therefore, a few people (freq. = 3) thought puppetry wouldn't be continued (8.9%).

In addition, over 50 respondents opted the special effects (freq. = 63) and the language used (freq. = 52). However, only a minority had other opinions (freq. = 7) or did not know (freq. = 2).
