The Legendary Water Puppetry in Vietnam

What do you think of when you hear about Vietnam? Surely it just would be the US-Vietnam War. But there is more to just that. There are more than 1,000 years of rich history in Vietnam. Water Puppetry in Vietnam has played a very crucial role in the culture and shaping of Vietnam. So what exactly is Water Puppetry? Let's go back to the 11th century in northern Vietnam's Red River Delta region, where farmers would plant and irrigate their crops. During the monsoon season in Vietnam, floods filled the fields of those farmers in the Red River Delta.

These schools focused on the immediate world and how to create a stable order, unlike Hinduism and Buddhism, which were more concerned with freeing the human soul from the cycle of rebirth/reincarnation. Confucianism Confucius, also known as Kongfuzi, was born in 551 B.C. in China. Troubled by the prevalence of violence and moral decay during his upbringing, he sought to spread his ideas by traveling across China to persuade political leaders to adopt his teachings, but he was largely unsuccessful.
