Tung Hua Shadow Puppet Troupe in Guanyin Mountain, also known as Tung Hua Shadow Puppet Troupe, is established in Qing Dynasty of Jiaqing Emperor. Since the founder Chang Zhuang organized the Dexing Group, the family run troupe is now passed down to the sixth generation and is led by Chang Fu-Kuo. It is the most long-lived shadow puppet troupe in Taiwan. The troupe is now based in Taisha, Kaohsiung.

Background
During Qing Dynsaty of Jiaqing emperor, the first leader of the troupe Chang Zhuang (1820-1873) organized a group named "Dexing", whose name was taken after their family own pastry shop. The group then passed down to the the second generation Chang Wang (1846-1925). At that time, the shadow puppet shows are mostly acted as a celebration or offering to the deities, therefore Chang Zhuang and Chang Wang had to live by farming and bring along the shaow puppets to do shows while they travel around to do bussiness.
