mother-of-pearl inlay - Ha Tay province

The grandfathers
of mother-of-pearl inlay - Ha Tay province |
The handicraft village of Chuon
Ngo in the northern province of Ha Tay is home to that
quintessential Vietnamese art: mother-of-pearl inlay. The
delicate and much-admired craft runs in the veins of
resident who have passed the skills down the generations.
Truong Cong Thanh is
believed to be the founding father of the craft.He graduated as
a master of both literary arts and martial arts during the Ly
Dynasty.Truong joined Ly Thuong Kiet’s forces to repel foreign
invaders and was decorated. Then, he dedicated his life to
travelling and learning about his passion – mother-of-pearl
inlay.
The years have passed, but Truong’s legacy is
still alive and well in Chuon Ngo.Three artisans from the
village have had the Golden Hands Medal bestowed upon them.They
have skilful hands, artistic eyes and creative minds.They embody
the old adage: "Those who inlay mother-of-pearl into wood or
copper seem to be laying their heart into their designs too." I
was fortunated to meet them on a recent trip to the village, in
Chuyen My Commune of Phu Xuyen District.One of the men, Tran Ba
Dinh, took me to a temple devoted to the Tutelary God of the
village hidden under a century-old banyan tree.
The site was
simple in its adornment, but he drew my attention to the
parallel scrolls and gave a rough translation: "The people of
Ngo Village give thanks for the prosperous life that is
developing on this sacred land and will be handed down forever."
Nguyen Thuyet Trinh, another Golden Handed master told me: "In
the past Chuon Ngo mostly produced mother-of-pearl inlaid tea
trays found in royal courts and on the banquet tables of kings,
lords and queens.
"A mother-of-pearl inlaid tray placed
on a carved bed was a symbol of nobility and dignity.
"Only rich people and Confucian scholars could afford to have
them. Mother-of-pearl inlaid products go with old-styled houses:
they match curved roofs covered in royal blue tiles."They do not
look so fine among our modern houses," he conceded. Nguyen Van
To is the final Golden Handed artisan. The 80-year-old man, who
began his craft when he was just 18 years of age, dropped his
chisel to receive me.He talked excitedly and moved briskly. He
looked quite sturdy, despite his age.And he was keen to impart
some crucial knowledge: the area should be referred to as Chuyen
My, because the whole commune works at this craft.Chuon is
apparently the village that first began the craft and is
well-known to customers for the quality of its
products.Neighbouring Ngo Ha is the village famous for its
lacquer craft. So the names of these two villages are joined
together to symbolise Chuyen My.
When you talk of Chuon Ngo,
you are really referring to the seven handicraft villages of the
commune. Chuon Ngo has 378 families with 1,700 inhabitants and
95 per cent of its households work in mother-of-pearl inlay. The
craft has elevated locals out of poverty and 30 per cent of
families are even dubbed "affluent."
On average each craft
family earns VND6 million per year. The lowest monthly salary of
a worker is VND200,000, the highest VND500,000. Every year the
village contributes VND500 million to State coffers.
Nguyen Thi Vui, chairwoman of Ngo Ha Co-operative, showed me
samples of finished products. I had always admired
mother-of-pearl inlay for its ability to turn simple mussel
shells and wood into a sought-after piece of art. But I was more
than amazed when knives and chisels that seemed to fly and dance
and, in a twinkling, turned wood or horn into a shepherd, a
buffalo, a bridge or a kite.
Chuon Ngo artisans now make
a wide range of products. Apart from simple objects like tobacco
boxes, trays and combs, they also produce carved beds, cabinets
and even paintings and portraits. These products are renowned
both at home and abroad and are already exported to Britain, the
Netherlands and Singapore. While some craft villages jealously
guard the secrets of their art, Chuon Ngo is keen to share. Ngo
Ha Co-operative, with assistance from World Vision, recently
held three charity teaching courses for handicapped children
from Phu Xuyen district, Nguyen Thi Vui explained.
One-hundred children have already completed the course and got
jobs with monthly salaries ranging from VND150,000 to
VND500,000.
At the moment, only the three Golden Handed
artisans can make mother-of-pearl inlaid portraits and Nguyen
Van To worries that the future generations may not produce any
more medal winners. "The young generation are too pragmatic,
they run after the spoils of the market economy and work in a
careless manner. They are not concerned with art or creativity,"
he confided. But the three master craftsmen are determined to
keep their trade alive. They are even compelling children as
young as seven or ten years to learn inlaying skills. Many local
residents share the simplistic belief that their children will
not be able to compete in the education stakes with children
from urban areas. And even if they could compete, so the
thinking goes, they would not earn as much as the average
village craftsman.
As a result, many children from Chuon Ngo
leave school when they have learnt only the basics: reading,
writing and some simple arithmetic. Only 20 of the village’s
children have completed secondary school and only four have
managed to attain bachelor’s degrees in the past decade. Four
other students from Chuon Ngo are currently studying at
universities or colleges. But the village’s craftsmen must
contend with another worry: the potential for damage to their
health. Children learning the art must be meticulous, they sit
for long periods of time to polish the mother-of-pearl and carve
the wood. Many of them suffer from curvature of the spine and
dust in their lungs.
Residents are concerned that the number
of illiterate and sickly people will increase, as such an
outcome would spell disaster for the village.
When I
left Chuon Ngo I was struck by a sense of melancholy. Certainly,
locals have prospered from mother-of-pearl inlay. But there are
costs to be borne too. How do we minimise the costs but also
protect the benefits? That is a question few can answer.
Meanwhile, life goes on in Chuon Ngo and the good and bad take
their toll. Sadly, such worries are not confined to this humble
little craft village.

Phu Vinh Bamboo and
Rattan - woven handicraft - Ha Tay province
|
|
Phu Vinh Bamboo
and Rattan - woven handicraft |
Bamboo is ubiquitous in the
Vietnamese countryside. Almost all villages are surrounded
by bamboo hedges. Images of bamboo are attached to
childhood, while a bamboo cane is a good companion to
support old people when walking.
From ancient times,
traditional bamboo and rattan weaving villages were established
and have become famous both at home and abroad. Among them is
Phu Vinh craft village in Chuong My district, Hà Tây
province.Every family in Phu Vinh village weaves bamboo and
rattan articles for domestic use and export. Over 6,000 out of
8,000 villagers practice the handicraft, earning more than VND
2.2 billion a year.
Along with bamboo, Phu Vinh village
cultivates 120 mau (approximately 432,000 sq.m) with one main
rice crop and one sub-crop a year due to the submerged fields.
About 2,800 tons of rice are harvested annually, equaling the
income earned from weaving. Weaving has created sideline jobs
for the farmers in their free time as well as for the old and
disabled, women and children. By undertaking both farming and
weaving, Phu Vinh villagers have enjoyed a plentiful life.
The main instruments for bamboo and rattan weaving are knives,
pincers, scissors and awls. The knives are varied: big knives
for felling and cutting bamboo and rattan trees, small knives
for splitting bamboo slices and pointed knives for whittling and
polishing slices.
At first glance, experienced craftsmen
know how to classify old and young bamboo trees. Old bamboo
trees are used for making edges and frames, and the young ones
are used for splints. Making splints requires skilled hands.
Looking at the way an artisan controls a knife with his
forefinger, it is possible to determine his expertise. Splints
must be smooth, polished, of the same size, and kept away from
humidity.
Designing, however, is the most difficult
process and is usually done by experienced artisans. For
example, to produce a bamboo and rattan-woven flower vase with a
form and size suitable to a particular place, the artisan has to
fashion appropriate splints and materials to make the frame and
dye to colour the splints. From a picture, portrait or landscape
painting, the artisan can imagine how to make a design work with
bamboo and rattan materials.
Design artist Nguyên Van
Kinh in Phu Vinh and his brother Nguyên Van Chung are famous for
their expertise. They were invited to Cuba for vocational
teaching and to studying the flora to find raw materials for
weaving.
Phu Vinh bamboo and rattan-woven products exceed
500 varieties. The most notable include art work such as panels,
couples, birds and animal pictures. They are made of extremely
thin and small splints woven with a small awl as if embroidered.
Another variety includes fruit baskets, trays, plates, bags,
suitcases, sandals, hats, lamp shapes and flower vases.
A
third category includes large baskets, sieves, buckets and
creels.
Phu Vinh bamboo and rattan-woven products are in
demand by both domestic and foreign customers. Orders from
Russia, Great Britain, France, Japan, The United States and
other countries are placed regularly to Phu Vinh craftsmen.

Trade village in
Son Dong - Ha Tay province |
On the way from Hanoi to Son Tay,
turning left at the point of 16th km and going forwards more
2 kilometers is Son Dong village (Hoai Duc district, Ha Tay
province). Perhaps the name (Son Dong village) was
originated from the local activity of producing traditional
paint. Hundreds of years ago, Son Dong people already
mastered the technique of making wooden statues and various
worshipping objects. The material is wood (mainly jack-fruit
wood), even clay and other materials.
To widen their productive
activities, some families have invested hundreds of million
VND into purchasing facilities and hiring workers (up to
tens people). The Son Dong workers are good not only at
sculpturing, but also in doing other work-pieces like
polishing, red lacquer trimmed with gold until final
products. Thanks to its good reputation, the Son Dong wooden
statues are present in many pagodas and communal houses in
the northern provinces. Presently, more than 70 percent of
households in the commune are involved in this business with
thousands of workers. There are also people from Dong Ky (Bac
Ninh) and Chang Son (Thach That). Thanks to the traditional
profession, various related services have been also
developed, and the living standard of local people has
considerably improved.
However, although there is, geographically, a large market
for selling products, the actual demand is still rather
small. The establishments have, therefore, to work mainly on
orders. And Son Dong, in spite of its precious traditional
profession, is not a rich village yet.

Chuong conical hat village
Return to Binh Minh, go along approximately 8km then turn night,
we will arrive in Phuong Trang village or Chuong village. This
is an only village making conical hat of Ha Tay province. If
customers wish to know about this craft trade as well as to make
study on mini-agricultural economy in Tonkin delta, they should
visit this place.
In the old time,
the Vietnamese wore the conical hats to hide the rain and the
sun.
The conical hats
fabricated with a bamboo frame and covered by leaf. Each
household of Chuong village can produce the conical hat. The
materials are simple: leaves for covering; bamboo for the frame,
rattan strings and now the industrial thread, some rattans to
fabricate the frame.
Although it is
such simple only, a white leaf conical with roll and equal
thread line require a talent producer.
There are various
kinds of conical hat, thick, solid or thin, elegant. In the old
time, there were hats with silk tasseled trap, bamboo hat worn
by Buddhist monks, by soldiers…

Thay Pagoda - Ha
Tay province |
Thay Pagoda, alias Ca and Thien
Phuc Tu Pagoda, is situated at the foot of Sai Son Mountain,
in Quoc Oai district, in Ha Tay province, 30 km southwest of
Hanoi
The pagoda was built in the 11th
century during the reign of Ly Nhan Tong King. At first, it
was a small pagoda managed by Priest Tu Dao Hanh. The pagoda
was initially built according to Sino-Vietnamese character
Tam—this character is formed by 3 hyphens parallel to each
other. The pagoda therefore consists of 3 sections: Ha
Pagoda, Trung Pagoda, and Thuong Pagoda. The outer part, Ha
Pagoda, is a place for offerings and ceremonies; the middle
part, Trung Pagoda, is a place for worship of Buddha; and
finally, the inner part is a place for worship of Priest Tu
Dao Hanh. An automated sandalwood statue of Tu Dao Hanh that
stands and sits is located in a red lacquered shrine trimmed
with gold and covered with a curtain.
In front of the pagoda is Long Tri pond, in the middle of
which is a stage called Thuy Dinh, where water puppet
performances are held. Nhat Tien and Nguyen Tien bridges,
built by doctor Phung Khac Khoan in 1602, are located on
each side of the stage.
Interesting sites can be visited in the surroundings of the
pagoda. For example, Phat Tich and Cac Co caves are located
not too far behind the pagoda. A hole in the dome of Cac Co
cave lets one see outside the cave.

Suoi Hai Lake -
Ha Tay Province |
Ba Vi Mountains cover an area of
over 5,000 ha in Ba Vi district, in Ha Tay province, 60 km
west of Hanoi. According to Vietnamese legends, a Vietnamese
deity resided in Ba Vi Mountains, which is why these
mountains are considered as the ancestors of all Vietnamese
mountains. The highest mountain is Ngoc Tan with 1,281 m.
There are 3 temples in the
mountains: Thuong Temple, located at the top of the mountain and
built in honour of Tan Vien God; Trung Temple, located at the
middle point between the foot and the top of the mountain; and
Ha Temple, located at the foot of the mountain.
Ba Vi
Mountains also consist of Ngoc Linh, Tuong Mieu, U Bo, Ghe Dung,
and Tram Voi mountains. The pure and cool air above 200 m has
made of Ba Vi a famous resort since the French colonialism era.
Over 200 villas and resting houses were built there. Ba Vi
National Park is also located in Ba Vi Mountains; several rare
bird species can be observed in that area.
At the foot of
Ba Vi Mountains is Suoi Hai Lake. This artificial lake was built
in December 1958. Fourteen islands of all sizes totaling 90 ha
are scattered on the lake. There are many trees and fruit
gardens on the islets and lakeshore. The lake attracts tourists
to its many clean beaches where uncountable species of valuable
birds live.

Tay Phuong Pagoda -

Tay Phuong
Pagoda - Ha Tay province |
Tay Phuong Pagoda is located on
Tay Phuong mountain in Yen village, Thach That district, Ha
Tay province. It is 37 km from Hanoi, along the Hanoi - Son
Tay route, and 6 km from the Tay Pagoda.
The pagoda was built during
the 6th and 7th centuries and has been restored several times
since. In 1632, the pagoda was rebuilt according to the
Sino-Vietnamese character Tam (three), featuring three sections:
the upper sanctuary, back palace, and lobby rooms. Later on, in
1794, the pagoda was completely rebuilt.
Tay Phuong Pagoda is also an exposition gallery for many
national engraving and sculpture masterpieces.
The pagoda
has approximately 80 statues of all sizes representing former
monks who stayed at the pagoda. The pagoda also possesses a bell
molded in 1796 and many valuable altars of emperors of the Canh
Thinh dynasty. Tay Phuong Pagoda is not only an historical site
with valuable architecture, but also a scenic spot in Ha Tay
province.
After climbing 239 stone steps bearing the signs of
the passage of time 'and sheltered by the shade of age-old trees
one reaches a gate. The gate carries the name of the structure :
Tay Phuong Co Tu (Ancient Pagoda of the West) According to the
inscri tion on a 17th-century stone stele it also has two other
names: Sung Phuc Tu and Hoang Son Thieu Lam Tu.
The
pagoda was built in the 3rd century and was undergone several
restorations. In 1794 under the Tay Son regime, it was
completely renewed, hence its present design. It comprises three
successive constructions : the Hall of Prostration, the Main
Shrine, and the Sanctuary, all with doubletiered roofs. It seems
that this architectural arrangement is inspired by Buddhist and
Confucianist thought: the three constructions symbolize the
three forces governing the world.
The central
construction has a directing role and is consequently raised
higher than the others. It symbolizes Heaven. The construction
at the rear plays the role of a foundation: it symbolizes the
earth. The construction closest to the world of man stands in
front. The whole structure is the symbol of Thai Cuc (the Prime
Principle, from which the whole world derives). The double tier
of the roof symbolizes the double principle, Luong Nghi, yin and
yang. The slopes , the roof on the four sides symbolize the four
elements of heaven, Tu Tuong; the sun, moon, stars and deities,
while the slopes on the eight sides stand for the Eight Signs of
the Sacred Octagon (Bat Quai).
All the wooden parts of
the pagoda are beautifully sculpted following farniliar folk
motifs: mulberry leat Ficus leat lotus flower, chrysanthe mum;
dragon, phoenix, etc. But the Tay Phuong pagoda is mostly famous
for the statues it contains, magnificent wooden sculptures
representing Buddhas as well as Vajrapanis (Kim Cuong) and
Arhats (La Han) who are middle-ranking Buddhist deities. One in
particular portrays Sakyamuni in meditation at the foot of Tuyet
Son (Snow Mountain). He was then leading a life of extremely
severe ascetism, and his emaciated body, as represented by the
statue, shows good knowledge by the artist of human anatomy.
The figures of the arhats each bear distinctive features which
depict meditation in original aspects. All are impressive works
of art.
A festival is held in the grounds of the Tay
Phuong pagoda in early spring each year. It features many games
and entertainment: marionette performances, tug-of-war, cock
fighting, chess with human chess pieces... The central piece of
the festival is the Sam Hoi (Expiation) ceremony, held on the
6th of the 3rd moon, which calls on all men to practise
compassion and charity, to avoid wrong doing, and aim for
serenity and quietude.

Tram Gian Pagoda -
Ha Tay province
|
|
Tram Gian Pagoda
- Ha Tay province |
Tram Gian Pagoda, also called
Tien Lu Pagoda, is situated in Tien Lu village, Hoai Duc
district, Ha Tay province. The pagoda was was probably
originally built in 1185 during the reign of King Ly Cao
Tong on its present site at the top of the low Tien Lu, or
Ma Hill.It nestles snugly on that hill in a natural cushion
of mature trac, or kingwood and tram, or canari trees, and
watched over by giant pines. It’s impressive construction
and history immerse the visitor immediately: its
multi-pillared temples, ornate altars, leisure areas, where
mandarins would play chess with live human pieces.
At festivals the separate
pavilions were given over to all-consuming and lavish
praise, no more so than the Gia Ngu where the statue of
Buddha was paraded during water puppet performances on the
semi-circular lotus lake.
A visit demands a degree of effort: a climb of several
hundred steps, a walk down an alley paved with bricks and
stone, reveals a two-storey bell tower of eight elegantly
corner-curved roofs. Known as the Bell Tower of Tram Gian,
it still preserves its detailed art work, its supporting
columns carved with intricate lotus shape, the wood panels
in the shape of dragons, flowers and leaves, clouds and the
sky. Under the roof hangs a 1.4m tall bell, made in 1794 on
which is also carved a literary work by Tran Ba Hien from
nearby Van Canh Village.
Then, and another healthy flight of stairs on, there’s the
main pagoda – the legacy of the Tran Dynasty in the 14th
Century but largely destroyed by the Ming invaders in the
15th and rebuilt probably during the Le Dynasty, as much as
a tribute to those times.
The Pagoda is built in the noi cong ngoai quoc architectural
style, the favoured style of the Cong Chinese character in
the inner part and the Quoc Chinese character in the outer.
There the statues of two Guardian Spirits, the
Good-encouraging Spirit and the Bad-punishing Spirit,
preside and the Thien Huong, or Celestial Perfume)Seat, and
in the inner part of the second house two Thuong Dien , or
Upper Altars, for the praise of Buddha. A four
curved-cornered and columned roof shelters a 1-metre wide
drum, and an equally large gong, both dating from the 10th
Year of Canh Hung (1750).
Tram Gian Pagoda is architecturally and spiritually unique –
as much a place of pilgrimage for design students captured
by its design and construction.
It can variously, and depending on your point of view, be
seen as one entity or 100 smaller ones. It houses 153
statues mostly made of wood, some of clay red lacquered and
trimmed with gold, all to the greater glory of Tam The, the
Past, Present and Future Lives. A large terracotta platform
supports an ornately carved altar bearing lotus flower,
legends, and dragon, tiger, horse, and elephant reliefs.
Nearby stands the black-lacquer jackfruit-tree wood statue
of Tuyet Son styled on one found in the Himalayas. The
imagery goes on at every turn: arranged and ornate altars to
worship 18 Arhats and the Ruler of Hell in the Ten Great
Halls, a separate pagoda and altar to worship Saint Boi or
Monk Nguyen Lu also known as Binh Yen. Legend has it the
statue is actually his rattan preserved body covered by an
oil cloth.
Two mighty central columns bear parallel scrolls inlaid with
mother-of-pearl praising the victories of the Vietnamese
people’s struggle against foreign invasion:
Up till now that northern country is still afraid of the
fierce rains
And since the bygone days the southern land is still waiting
for the auspicious clouds.
In the pagoda itself, a statue lauds General Dang Tien Dong,
who served King Quang Trung in the historic battle of Dong
Da and then in 1794 helped repair the pagoda, casting its
bell and erecting stela.
He too was commemorated as one of the architects, if not of
the pagoda itself, then certainly of its place in history.
Not for nothing have Xu Doai locals praised the pagoda
through time:
So Communal House, Gia Temple and Thay Pagoda, all are
beautiful
But still cannot be compared with Tram Gian Pagoda.

Dong Mo Lake is located at the
foot of Ba Vi Mountain in Ha Tay province, approximately 50
km from Hanoi. This artificial lake has long supplied water
for the whole Son Tay area.
More than 20 islands emerge from
the lake. With a total area of 1,500 ha, Dong Mo Lake is an
ideal site for camping, Sunday picnics, or vacations. An
international 18-hole golf course was opened in 1995.
A cultural village illustrating Vietnam's ethnic minorities
will be built in Dong Mo - Ngai Son region. Thus, this
region will surely become an interesting tourist attraction.
