Traditional handicrafts of Vietnam
– Vietnam’s traditional handicrafts are associated with wet rice civilization and craft villages and guilds. Handicrafts not only turn a profit but also reflect the customs and culture of Vietnam’s rural areas. On today’s edition of Colorful Vietnam-Vietnam’s 54 ethnic groups, VOV reporter To Tuan examines the traditional handicrafts of Vietnam.
Vietnam’s traditional handicraft villages are concentrated in the Red River Delta. The ancient Viet people lived mainly on rice farming. During the idle time between crops, farmers made tools of bamboo, rattan and steel. As time went by, handicrafts developed from households to guilds. Whole villages engaged in pottery, mat weaving, silk weaving, wood-carving or bronze casting. Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital city with a thousand-year history boasts many handicraft streets and guilds. The city has 36 streets whose name begins with the word “Hang” meaning “Craft”. Craftspeople from rural areas moved to Hanoi and formed their guilds. Today, some of these streets retain their traditional crafts, such as Hang Bac – engaged in silver making, Hang Thiec – Tin making, and Hang Dong – Bronze-casting. Some retain their old name but the traditional crafts faded such as Hang Can – Scale making, and Hang Quat – Fan making. Folklore researcher Doctor Ngo Duc Thinh says: “Hang Quat street no longer makes fans, but it reminds people of a traditional craft that is reflected in the local lifestyles and architecture”. Each craft village has its own know-how, which has been passed down from generation to generation. There have been villages specialized in lacquer wares, pottery, blacksmithing, embroidery, bamboo, rattan, basket-weaving, folk painting and wooden and stone sculpture. Nguyen Huu Nam is the owner of a workshop of doing gold and silver inlays in Kieu Ky village on the outskirts of Hanoi: “We inherited this craft from our ancestors. We have mastered the techniques of gold and silver inlaying and transferred them to our offspring”. Traditional craft villages have cultural and historical significance. Many of them have become popular tourist destinations. Vietnam now has 4,500 craft villages, including 400 traditional villages which employ some 12 million people and create millions of seasonal jobs for farmers. The export of handicraft items earns more than 1 billion USD annually. These villages generate economic benefits while helping to preserve Vietnam’s cultural and historical heritage. |

For my job I currently live in the capital city of our country which is ... (say the name of the capital city in your country...). It has been more than 5 years since I left my hometown and yet this is the town where my heart belongs to. I will always remember the days and places where I spent my childhood and teenage, the golden years of my life. The name of my hometown is (...say the name of your hometown...) and it is located in the northern part of the (... say the city/ district name where this town belongs to...). This town will always be special to me, no matter where I go, how far I go. There are many interesting places if I consider from different perspectives in my hometown that I can recall now. Out of these places, the rail station, which is located at the southern corner of our city is the one I would like to talk about.
In my childhood, the rail station in my hometown was the most mysterious and interesting place for us. We, as children, were not allowed to enter the main premises where the train stopped and this prohibition made us more curious about this place. This is still a place which is quite interesting for me. This is possibly because this rail station is the entry and exit point for me- to and from my hometown. When the train drops me in this station, I feel a sensation of being home. On the contrary, during the time of my departure, I feel an acute melancholy that I won't be able to express in words. This place has always been a mystery to me and it is still a place full of happiness, sadness and enigma.
From two other perspectives, this place is quite interesting to me. One- the surrounding view of this station is quite spectacular and would give someone an impression that he is standing on a tall mountain and can see the green fields below all around him. The view gives the first impression of the natural beauty this area has. In fact, I have never seen any other train station which is located in such a higher place and gives such a beautiful view. Second- the different types of people who come here each day is an interesting thing to observe. Some people come here to sell numerous products, some wait for their relatives or family members to arrive, some to see off their relatives or friends, and finally, some are part of the administrative office of the rail authority. In my opinion, this is an interesting hub for people of different ages, places and purposes.
If I am to suggest a foreign tourist about the interesting places of my hometown, I would suggest him to start with this rail station. This rail station will give a very good idea of our town, people and places to be there. To me, this is the gateway to a beautiful town where my heart belongs to.
I live in New York with my parents. There are a good number of interesting places to see and visit here. But the New York Public Library is more interesting to me than any other places.
I am a citizen of the USA by birth but my parents are not. They came here in search of living from Larissa in Greece during the 1980s. They have been living for around 36 years in this city. After my birth and I got matured enough, they took me to different interesting places to visit in the New York City, and these places are really interesting. But being an introvert, I disliked the crowds and the public library appeared to be more interesting to me than other places. The place is filled with books on numerous issues, magazines, documents and many other things. The classics available in the library were my favourite.
Going to the library is easier for me. In fact, this is not far away from my residence. The New York Public Library is only a 10-minute walk from my home. It remains open from 10 am to 8 pm, except the weekends. Usually, I go there in the evening and read books or novels until the library is closed. Besides, the library is accessible from the other parts of the city. The people who want to visit the library can reach here using several transportation modes. They can reach the library by taxi, metro or by their private cars. But the people who live nearby, like me, come here mostly on foot.
The New York Public Library is a great place to read. But the people who come here are not readers always. Some of them are researchers, while some others may be historians or musicians. Actually, the library is visited by a wide range of people. Basically, the library comes with the reading facilities. But there is also the scope to check the reference books, peep on the music directory or crosscheck any history. Besides, the reading rooms are well expanded and the readers have ample opportunities to use the books and references after their needs. But they have to be careful with the books. Silence among the readers while reading books is expected there.
Reading books may appear boring to many but it is very interesting to me. I love reading books. The books help us to know the unknown and unseen. The experiences of past thousand years have been preserved in books in words. So, when I read them, it appears that I am travelling through time! But every place is not suitable for reading and it requires a very special environment. Hence, I think a library is a nice place to read. At the same time, it is an interesting place as an enriched collection of books are available together. In fact, it is impossible for an individual to collect a part of the books of this library in his entire life. So, I find more interest in reading books in a calm place and the New York Public Library is a place I would recommend to a tourist.
The seaside in Brighton attracts me most. I can go there on foot because this is a five minutes’ walk from my residence. People usually spend their time together and enjoy the sunset scene. This is an interesting place to me because I can have the chance to enjoy the natural beauty. Moreover, I love to walk to the beachside and the waves wash my feet. Often I come here in the early morning to watch the sunrise. Considering all the matters, this is an interesting place to me.
