(重定向自Glove puppet)
Glove puppetry (Chinese:布袋戏; pinyin:bùdàixì; Pe̍h-ōe-jī:pò͘-tē-hì) is a type of opera using cloth puppets that originated during the 17th century in Quanzhou or Zhangzhou of China's Fujian province, and historically practised in the Min Nan-speaking areas such as Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, the Guangdong region of Chaoshan, and other parts of southern China. It had since established itself more firmly and contemporarily as a popular art form in ******.
