<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">With 700km of coastline, 28,000km of canals (70% of the length of the country's river), for ages, speaking of the Mekong Delta, it is impossible not to mention the three-seater boat. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">For the residents of the river, the trio is not only a means of transportation but also a mobile home, with them covered with oil and rain. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Over the years, a fishing boat community gradually formed, focusing on living, trading, exchanging goods at the intersection of rivers and ... floating markets, becoming a typical feature of the Southwest region. .</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Like many Vietnamese markets, floating market goods are diverse, from fresh food, local fruit specialties ... Unlike each stall can move anytime, anywhere. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">In particular, when going to the floating market, you will come across a rather unique form of marketing of goods: whoever sells anything, places a pole on the bow of the boat and hangs the product that he wants to sell on that pole to invite customers. also known as "pinch line". Therefore, the market does not have the sound of a market like the shore market, but if there is a listing, the sound of the waves and the engine of the ship will drown out. ", at least a dozen", the goods exchanged back and forth juggling on boats together. Floating markets often meet all day, but crowded especially in the morning when the climate is still quite cool. </span></span></div>

When making flutes, they have a reputation for sound, depth and soul. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The flute is divided into two parts by a wooden middle partition. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The more even the two parts are, the more resonant the new flute resonates. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The surface of the flute is trimmed with light, soft woods such as heartwood, jackfruit and amber wood because it is durable. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The flute decided to make a loud and small sound, quickly returning the flutes. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The mouth of the recorder must be properly weighed, a little misaligned can distort the flute. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The kite frame is made from two bamboo sticks, bent into a bow shape to catch the wind. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Just hearing it is enough to see the care and detail in making kites.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">But the most elaborate, according to the old people, must mention making the kite string. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">According to artisan Nguyen Huu Kiem, every time at the end of spring and summer, people look for smooth, smooth bamboos, then split them into nan fibers, depending on the size of the kite that the yarn is big or small. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The nan fiber is boiled for 7 to 8 hours with a little salt, the fiber becomes soft, flexible and especially very durable.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The essence of the Northern flute kite is not only in making kites, but it is also shown through how to play the kite. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Based on the humidity of the air, the weather, and the wind, it was decided whether or not to fly a kite. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">When the conditions were favorable, the kite welcomed the wind soaring into the air, carrying the sound of the flute, spreading far away throughout the village. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The villagers, whenever they hear the flute, suddenly feel serene, gentle and relaxed.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The traditional kite flute is not just a sound, it is combined by many different flutes, including snails, bells, gongs and whistles. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Each region has a different combination, so the kite flute also features each village. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the village itself, each person has their own unique flute. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The chimpanzees only need to hear the flute and know who it is.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Making a good flute is not easy and hasty. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">There are people who have played kite all their life, made kites but they couldn't afford a good flute. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Perhaps because of that, people appreciate and appreciate the flute set up and down, saving the soul of a flute kite maker. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Unfortunately, when the kite breaks, you have to find and bring the flute home.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Flute kites now no longer appear as many in the villages as before, only in Ba Duong Noi village or some villages in Dong Anh (Hanoi), Hai Duong, Hai Phong, ... Children rarely get see the starling kite, listen and feel its melodious sounds. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Instead, they gradually get accustomed to the red, colorful and eye-catching kites of China, Japan or some other Southeast Asian countries. </span></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413184185268777351.post-651977724840863962019-09-05T20:45:00.001-07:002019-10-08T21:11:28.301-07:00Marriage customs of Muong Ao Luong and Yen Bai people<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It also has the effect of filtering the blood and relieving back pain. The locals also tell us that not only snake alcohol but also other kinds of alcohol. complementary because each type is a very effective remedy "Samson continued.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">And yet to be amazed by the variety of ethnic wines that Vietnamese combine from precious plants and animals, we continue to be humorous when being introduced to how to enjoy wine that has become a staple.

style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vietnamese people from time immemorial, at the same time with the beliefs of the religion that follow, still have an ancestor worship - that is not a religion, but because of the respect and gratitude of their descendants for deceased parents, grandparents, and grandparents.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vietnamese people have faith that death is only the dissipation of the body, and the soul remains and always returns to the family. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Death is just a return to meet grandparents and ancestors. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The souls of the dead always dwell on the altar to be close to their descendants, to follow them in their daily work and to help (bless them) in urgent cases. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">And the Vietnamese people still keep in mind: "the ceiling is so negative" - the living needs nothing, the life is the same for the dead. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Because of this belief, setting up an altar to worship Ancestors is indispensable in human life.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Traditional Vietnamese houses usually have three or five rooms, in which the nave is considered the most solemn place, the center of the house. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Important things such as worship, receptions, activities ... all take place here. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The middle room always has a large door, open the door to see heaven and earth circulating, yin and yang harmonize and then feel the life. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The altar is a place to show the respect of the descendants to Ancestors, so the altar is usually set up in the middle of the middle of the house, the homeowner must not have a bed facing the altar.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Depending on the size of the house and also on the standard of living of each homeowner, the altar has different sizes and forms.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Poor families, with simple furniture, the altar is sometimes just a bamboo flap between the two columns in the nave, inside there is a small bowl of incense. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">And in families of the "usually upper secondary" level or higher, the altar is properly closed. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Some homeowners also use the cabinet surface as an altar or close the attic to the wall. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">No matter how the altar is designed, it is important that it is always in a solemn position, with the appropriate height so that when worshiping people can show their respect for their ancestors.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">On the altar, there can be an examination, the throne or an altar which is decorated with elaborately and carefully painted. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before the tablet you have a very high judgment. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">On this project, in the middle is a bowl of incense to plug incense when worshiping. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Incense sticks are well cared for, thoughtful, and not moved. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Behind the incense bowl is a small stool, on which there are three radio stations with a lid and a lid with knobs. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">These three stations hold three small cups of wine at the ceremony. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Every day, the radio is covered to avoid dust, only opened during the holidays, the full moon day, the first day. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">On either side of the incense bowl were two lamps (two oil lamps) or two candles (today in urban areas, two electric lamps are lit). </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Near the two sides of the incense bowl, in addition to the two lamps there are sometimes flamingos flanking either side. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">At the edge of the two lights near the two ends of the incense burner are two incense sticks used to hold incense.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">In addition to the above-mentioned altars, there is also a jar of jars or twin jars displayed on the altar for flower arrangement during the death anniversary and New Year. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The sign hung high horizontally across the front of the altar, on which there are huge Chinese characters, many houses use Nom (usually three, four letters) as the horizontal. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">There are opposite sentences on either side of the column or on the walls of the house:</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">“The father of the millennium virtues</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The filial piety of the great and the great glory ”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Or:</span></div><div style="text-align:

Hoa ”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The words written on the diaphragm, the couplets are showing the respect of the descendants to Ancestors or to praise the merits of Ancestors. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The rich, the rich, the diaphragm, the couplets are made of wood painted with gold or black lacquer, or nacre mosaic, while the poor are extraordinary. Large letters, a pair of scrolls or pink sheets with opposing words written.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a

less changed, so the traditional style of the altar still works, but the houses with modern architecture, modern furniture in the city, the way father The decoration and the altar also have many changes to suit the overall scene of the house (the elaborate incense, the diaphragm, the couplet no longer suit the interior of many families).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"> The altar is a sacred place so people do not leave trifles, everyday objects in daily life on the altar, but they must always keep the altar and the altar clean, solemn. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">And in any situation, no matter how many people are in need, they do not pledge or sell worship.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Before every incident in the family (such as: setting up a wife and husband for their children; children and grandchildren preparing to take the exam; building a new home; doing business; a wife giving birth to a child; establishing a career; having a sick family member sick, some people are preparing to go away, to work big ...), homeowners all pray to their ancestors, first to present the event, later to ask for their blessings.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Each sacrifice, depending on the poor, rich and depending on the ceremony, the offerings may include: wine, fruit, yellow incense, sticky rice, oan, salty mackerel, sometimes with votive ... and indispensable indispensable for a cup of pure water (rain water) because it represents spiritual purity before the ancestors, the gods. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">In necessary cases, an offering may require only one cup of rain water, and an incense stick for lighting up the altar will be sufficient. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The altar during the ceremony must have a light or a candle. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Incense on the altar is always lit in odd numbers (one or three compressed ...) and the incense sticks must be neatly placed. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">When the incense sticks in the incense bowl are full, the householder burns the incense to ask the Ancestors to uproot the incense sticks, turn them into ash and then dump them into the lake.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Ancestor altar is a meeting point of good traditions of the family, evoking a spiritual depth of "tree

width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">For the Khmer, jaggery is not a purely plant species but a special, highly symbolic tree. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Therefore, it is not surprising that jaggery is always present and is an integral part of Khmer life.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jaggery is a plant native to Africa, woody, tall, strong, easy to grow and live for a long time. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">In terms of economic value, this tree does not give high efficiency, far behind coconut trees. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, in terms of symbolism, the cultural meaning of jaggery is superior to other plants. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">In the "pagoda country" (Kingdom of Cambodia), along with the temples of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, the palm tree is also considered one of the symbols of the nation. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Particularly in our country, it is unclear when this tree ever existed, but in the eyes of Vietnamese people, palm tree has always been considered a cultural symbol associated with the Khmer. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Currently, jaggery is most abundant in the Bay Nui region (That Son), belonging to two districts of Tinh Bien and Tri Ton - An Giang province. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">And if you travel throughout the Mekong Delta - especially those along the southwest border like Long An, Dong Thap, An Giang, Kien Giang - where there are Khmer people, there will be palm trees and vice versa. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">It can be said that such existence seems to be indispensable, it is a special attachment with special similarities. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Because in many respects, the palm tree represents not only the soul and personality of the Khmer people, but it also represents their culture. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">However,</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">It can be said that in daily life, the Khmer have never separated from the palm tree. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">From it, people can make many unique products such as jaggery, jaggery tea, jaggery chopsticks, jaggery fans, even processing jaggery beer, etc. This contributes to a significant improvement in the life of a part of the Khmer. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Thus, right from the beginning, it has come into their lives, sticking and creating a certain influence. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Over time, that influence grew and turned it into a symbolic tree. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">That means that its economic role is getting smaller, but instead is a more significant one - culturally important.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">When it comes to cultural responsibility, the first factor we mention is the territorial role. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">As mentioned above, jaggery is a strong, easy-to-grow and long-lived tree so it is very suitable for demarcation of territory, that is to mark that land as belonging to the Khmer. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">They are planted in long lines, sometimes as much as a forest, cuddling and enveloping the Khmer inside. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">In fact, this is just an imaginary boundary and is understood by everyone. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">In fact, this role of palm tree today is very faint. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Simply because the Khmer people have completely integrated with the ethnic groups, is an inseparable part of the Vietnamese nation. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">All now live together in harmony and build a rich and beautiful Vietnam. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">So there will be no more barriers, even though it is only invisible. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Therefore, </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The appearance of the current palm tree is only considered a sign to identify the place where Khmer people live. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">And the fact that they grow it is also simple because it is their cultural root.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Besides the above meaning, the palm tree is also considered a symbol of the patience and hard work of the Khmer. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">If closely observed, the Khmer in our country often live in clusters of high land (upland), arid and less fertile. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, even though they have to work all year round on sun-burning fields and crop failures, they are still satisfied with their lives. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Throughout their lives, they are still diligent in what nature offers, accepting to improve it to make life better. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Meanwhile, despite the arid land, harsh climate, but palm trees still rise themselves into the air, confronting the sun and the wind. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, in spite of the change of things, the palm tree remains faithful to the land in which it lives, still bears fruit, and protects and attaches itself to the Khmer from one generation to the next. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">So, </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The common point here is that both have the ability to adapt to unfavorable living environment, ready to cope with difficulties to survive and develop. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">It is a very precious quality that anyone must respect and respect.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Not only that, if someone has ever seen the palm tree will realize that, although the appearance is not beautiful (the skin is rough and rough, it is darkened by the sun, the leaves are neither long nor curved, the fruit is small) special black) but it's a very rustic, lovely beauty. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Obviously, the palm tree is not as colorful as rhododendron, not as pure as pine, not as luxurious as pine, nor as gentle as willow, but still receives respect. of everybody. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">This reminds us of the honest, simple but extremely friendly Khmer images. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">The Khmer people do not pay much attention to appearance, their beauty is often revealed from within. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">They talked as openly, sincerely and warmly. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">They help people like themselves, not bothered to lose. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">In general, from words, words, dress, behavior, </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">... they all exuded a strange simplicity, unexpected simplicity. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">To them, a simple form, a pure soul is the core of every human being.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">From the above factors, we see the palm tree has a very special position for the Khmer. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Of course, what is mentioned is still preliminary sketches, but actually the role and meaning of palm tree in Khmer life is much bigger. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Objectively speaking, it is an image that seems to have condensed the most essential features of a nation's culture. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">And through that, we can understand more about people, their customs, ... in general, Khmer culture. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">I believe that, no matter what, jaggery will be a cultural symbol, will always exist in every Khmer memory and forever in the heart of the Khmer people.</span></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8413184185268777351.post-18479666720022242972019-08-31T08:55:00.001-07:002019-10-08T21:11:30.351-07:00Keep the oval in

singing refers to a unique performing art that has existed for a long time and is a valuable asset in the treasure of Vietnamese folklore. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Like other folk songs, Xoan singing sometimes seems to be buried by time. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">But, as a persistent source flowing through thousands of years of history, the ancient oval is

Kings brothers searching for land, passing Phu Duc village at noon and staying at a forest near the village. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">From the forest, you look at the grass in

Phu Tho area. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">But according to the latest statistics of the Provincial Museum, at present, there are only 4 Xoan guilds of Kim Duc and Phuong Lau communes of Viet Tri city: Xoan Thet ward, Phu Duc oval ward, and Kim Doi oval ward. , xoan an Thái ward. </span><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">It is praiseworthy that in these 4 Xoan guilds, the whole
