【Culture】Glove puppetry in Taiwan Almost every little girl plays with dolls and has a good time at their childhood. But in Taiwan, not only children but also adults love to watch the glove puppetry (布袋戲/… 更多 bùdàixì). Glove puppetry is Taiwanese traditional drama, which can be seen in cultural events, temple festivals, and even on TV programs! The dialects, music, puppetry (xìǒu/戲偶), and puppet manipulation techniques used in glove puppetry in Taiwan have changed a lot over time. Let’s learn more about the most important Glove-Puppet Drama Master, Mr. Li Tien-lu, on Taiwan Academy. If you have a chance to come to Taiwan next time, you are welcomed to visit the Li Tien-lu Hand Puppet Historical Museum (Lǐ Tiānlù Bùdài Wénwùguǎn /李天祿布袋文物館) in Taipei County and participate the International Yunlin Puppet Theater Festival (Yúnlín Guójì Ŏuxì Yìshùjié/雲林國際偶戲藝術節)!
