    Vietnamese glove puppetry is a unique traditional puppetry performance form that originated in the Red River Delta region in northern Vietnam. Unlike other glove puppetry, Vietnamese glove puppetry is generally performed on water, so it is also called "water puppetry". The performance venue is usually a shallow pool. The puppeteers stand behind the pool and manipulate the puppets with long poles and ropes to vividly perform various storylines on the water. The puppets are flexible and diverse in their movements, and can simulate various human movements such as dancing, fighting and fishing. The stories of Vietnamese glove puppetry are rich and colorful, and are usually based on Vietnamese folk tales, historical stories and rural life. Through humorous performances, the audience can not only enjoy the charm of art, but also understand the culture and traditions of Vietnam. During the performance, the accompaniment of traditional musical instruments and singing on the scene added more vividness and appeal to the puppet show. Vietnamese glove puppetry is not only popular in China, but also attracts a large number of international tourists to watch. In general, Vietnamese glove puppetry is a unique and charming performing art form that showcases Vietnam's rich cultural heritage and folk wisdom through the vivid interpretation of water puppets.
