In Fuding City, China's Fujian Province, intangible cultural heritage inheritor Zhong Changgan has ingeniously combined the She ethnic group's traditional string puppetry with the refined art of Fuding's renowned white tea. His innovative creation, the puppet tea ceremony show, features a puppet making and serving tea with intricate movements and gestures controlled by dozens of strings.

To bring this unique tea art performance to life, Zhong crafted tea utensils designed specifically for puppet tea ceremonies. During the 2024 "Xinjiang is a Wonderful Land" intangible cultural heritage exhibition held in Korla, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, he showcased this extraordinary project, captivating visitors with his remarkable blend of cultural artistry.
