Dear Lan

I got a wonderful trip with Nam to Chang Son fan – making village last weekend.

For a long time, the Chang Son fan was not only a useful utensil in daily life, but also a beautiful image appearing in many poems, on stage and in the cultural and spiritual life. To make a beautiful and durable fan requires meticulousness and skillfulness from fan makers. Normally, the fan’s blades are made from bamboo, which are at least three years old and grow in the middle of a grove.

Moreover, to make fans more durable, the fan makers use joined blades, which have to undergo many stages, such as cutting the bamboo into short pieces, scratching off its green cover, splitting the bark of bamboo and applying a layer of varnish between the slats. Then, they are tied up in a bunch.

After a few months when the layer of varnish is dry, the slats of bamboo are whittled to make the fan blades. Paper to make fans must be do (poonah) or diep (poonah paper covered with egg – shell powder) bought in Dong Ho Village, Bac Ninh Province. Looking at the Chang Son fans, only simple colours, such as green, red, violet and yellow are seen. However, when the fans are unfolded and seen in the light, all the delicate decorative pattern, and designs will appear lively and bright. To foreigners, they can see the characteristics of the Vietnamese people: simple but profound, and beautiful but discreet.

I am look forward to hearing from you

Best wishes,

Dear Mai,

How are you going? Last weekend, I had a chance to visit Van Phuc Silk Village, which is the famous silk village of Hanoi. I was impressed by various beautiful shirts, crafts, ties and many things made of silk available in the village. The special thing is that the silk is made by very simple looms, which is the genuinely traditional Vietnamese way of making silk. The trip was really exciting.

What was your summer vacation like? Please tell me your vacation. I can’t wait to hear about that. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Love,

Han

Dong Ho Painting Village Hanoi is located in Bac Ninh. It is well-known by its traditional folk paintings, all of which are created for the annual Tet Festival (Lunar New Year). Located along the Duong River, this traditional village is supposed to be a place helping trallvers from Ha Noi relieve their stress. Also known as woodcut or Dong Ho paintings, these artworks often depict bright and colourful scenes of everyday life, folk allegories, mythical and historical figures, as well as symbols of happiness, fertility, prosperity, and fortune. Therefore, many households and businesses oftentimes use them as decorations throughout the year, particularly during Tet holidays. For the sake of producing a single Dong Ho painting, the craftsmen first carve a wooden block into distinctive shapes, before brushing a layer of ink onto each block, and then pressing them on a traditional giay gio paper. The ink is made with natural ingredients such as the ash of burned bamboo leaves, gravel, finely ground oyster shells, and flowers. Finally, the finished design is sealed by a layer of sticky rice paste.
