The birthplace of Shaoyang glove puppetry, Yanwoling, Baizhu Village, is located in Jiugongqiao Town, Shaoyang County. According to the genealogy of the Liu family, in order to avoid war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Liu surnamed 0 Shenggong took his family and carried glove puppetry on his shoulders to escape to Yanwoling and settled there. It has been more than 600 years since then. Glove puppetry has been passed down from Shenggong to the "Yong" generation for 18 generations. Shaoyang glove puppetry is passed down orally. Its performance style and performance skills are: one artist plays a pair of drama, no matter whether it is a big or small drama, a literary drama or a martial arts drama, a male or female role, a clean or ugly role, playing, singing and playing, it all depends on the artist's hands, feet, mouth, and tongue, and the ten fingers are flexible. The main repertoires include "The Investiture of the Gods", "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Yang Xiao Fights the Tiger", etc., mostly martial arts dramas, ghost dramas, and comedy dramas. The music is mainly based on the singing style of Qi Opera, with a fresh, simple, and innocent style, forming its own school. Shaoyang glove puppetry combines puppetry skills, drama forms, and performance techniques, and has the characteristics of mystery, refinement, novelty, and simplicity. For more than 600 years, it has always maintained the performance skills, performance style, and performance form of its initial period, with unique historical and cultural heritage, and high aesthetic taste and value orientation. In its heyday, Yanwoling had more than 110 pairs of puppets going to Yunnan and Guizhou, Huguang, and Zhejiang. In September 1956, artist Liu Henggui visited Czechoslovakia to perform the glove puppetry "Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon" and achieved great success. Since 2002, after being promoted by mainstream media such as CCTV, it has attracted attention at home and abroad. In particular, in August 2005, CCTV's Opera Channel broadcast a special program on Shaoyang glove puppetry, and its unique artistic and cultural value has attracted the attention and concern of relevant parties.
