Water puppetry is a special tradition in Vietnam. It started long ago in the Red River Delta. The shows use wooden puppets that move on water, telling stories from Vietnamese folklore or history. Performers use long sticks to control the puppets from behind a screen.

But water puppetry has some problems. People today often prefer movies and TV, so fewer people come to watch the puppet shows. This makes it hard for the artists to keep performing.

To help water puppetry, we can promote it in schools and at festivals. This way, more people will learn about it. Also, giving support and money to the artists can help them continue their work. By doing these things, we can keep water puppetry alive for future generations.
