In this world, there are many legends about the "puppets."
No matter the legend, the description of puppets as lifelike and akin to living beings is undeniable.
According to legend, the performers in the Yanshi Kingdom possess highly advanced "human making arts."
Their masters can craft skin from leather, bones from wood, visceras from glue and lacquer, and simulate meridians and blood vessels using black charcoal, white clay, and cinnabar.
Ultimately, they can create puppets with complete limbs and organs that can even speak like humans.
The truth of this legend, in parts true and false, remains moot.
In any case, after the Luo Book became widespread, the technology of the Yanshi Kingdom improved substantially.
Some performers from the Yanshi Kingdom even ventured to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range to study mechanical arts and machinery from the Tao Ancestor.
