Kite flute - folk culture unique

2011-11-12T07:04:00.000-08:00

When the temporary farm work was done, when the flame long long monsoon blowing across southern slopes of dikes, mon men in the village, we saw young people pulling together to go green kite.

Not so simple as the kite capital of the South is just a fun children's entertainment, not gaudy, eye-catching and varied as kite Hue - Royal sexism, kites of Northern flute combination is between sophisticated simplicity of shape and flute kites soaring in the air vi.
Men in Red River dike road slope, we find in the village of Ba Duong Noi (Dan Phuong, Ha Noi) where the kite is the source of the flute, where the legend begins ...
<Artisan Nguyen Huu Search for kite kinds Blinds can be folded.
Legend of the Holy Temple of The Village, a traditional flute kite has more than thousand years old. That ancient story, when the sun - earth harmony, humans and elves are wrapped together tangerine not want to leave. Suddenly one day disaster strikes, dark earth, heaven and the earth was divided. The sky is high on up, split away from the earth. Elves and humans do not encounter the same way that belief caused many mourn. So kite was born, emotional connection wires between the sky and the earth, bringing with flute melodies express the heart of the earth to the realms above.
<The snail kite flute, bells, gongs, whistles.
Kite is the symbol of the desires, aspirations of the Vietnamese population, has always wanted to fly higher, farther. Kite flying in the air transport brings the love of their native villages of farmers, taking up hope always rain stopped, the wind farm work in harmony. The moment is right to fly kites on the sky, the clouds stopped, kites were taken by new men monsoon ends up, new flute sonorous.
Kite flute as its name suggests, consists of two main parts: kites and flute, is made up of familiar materials, available in most villages. According to Nguyen Huu Search artists (currently Chairman of the Vietnam Kite Club): "In the past, the tools do most of the bamboo flute. From body to flute kites kites, and the wire cage coil is made of bamboo kites. "
<Kite traditional flute.
For a good kite, a flute or a wife as much work and dedication. Flute kites are carefully selected from old bamboo tree, bamboo review, sure, having no weather cracks, when a new flute echoes, have depth and soul. Pipe is divided into two sections by wooden partition in between. Two equal parts as the cry of a new flute as resonance, the more sonorous. On the flute is shaped by the kind of light wood and soft wood such as yellow center, jackfruit wood, timber for by its high durability.
<My present flute and flute.
On the flute sound decisions to small, sparse blood poured in the flute. The mouth flute must be cut so weight is a slight deviation could have distorted the flute. The frame is made from two kites bamboo, bending the bow to catch the wind. Recently heard enough to see the details carefully and in making kites.
But the most elaborate, as the tool to pass on the kite string to mention jobs. According to Nguyen Huu Search artists, whenever a late spring early summer, we again find the shiny bamboo glutinous cake, ammunition, and then split into smaller strands nan, depending on the size of the kite which fibers are to erasing or small. The fibers are boiled nan was from 7 to 8 hours with a little salt, fiber becomes soft, supple and especially durable.
The essence of Northern flute kites not only lies in the doing, but it is also expressed through playing kites. Based on the humidity, the weather and wind, people decide whether or not kite flying. When all conditions, wind kites soaring in the air, carrying flute vi vu, echo far across villages. The village of each flute is heard suddenly feel serene, gentle and relaxed.
<Flute kites.
Traditional flute kites is not only a sound, it is associated by many different pipe, including buildings, bells, gongs, whistles. Each region has different combinations, so flute kites is also characteristic of each village. Now the village, each also has its own flute, and the other not. The fine just hear the flute, which is also known by anyone.
How is a flute or a completely simple and not rush. There are people playing kites for life, but also do well for themselves without the flute well. Perhaps it is so very precious and should respect the scholarship down to the bass flute, take the soul of the person doing flute. Unfortunately the kite off, could you also have to be brought by the flute at home.
Flute kites today no longer appears in many villages as before, only remaining in the village of Ba Duong Noi or some village in Dong Anh (Hanoi), Hai Duong, Hai Phong, ... Children also rarely see kite flute, listen and feel the bass sound of its scholarship. Instead, they gradually get used to all kinds of green and red kites, colorful and eye-catching Chinese, Japanese or some other Southeast Asian countries.bbbbb
However, as to witness the love of the child's kite flute Ba Duong Noi village, seeing the good news from the International Kite Festival was first held in Ba Ria Vung Tau, Kite Festival "The wings of Thang Long", along with conservation efforts from artists playing kites, flute lovers from around the region, our hearts to light up a trust and hope for the survival of Unique flute kites that this familiar.

The custom of bathing the upland in Vietnam

2011-11-12T05:47:00.000-08:00

To the northwest, the river Nam Nhe, we can get out of Thailand through features such as still water, vegetation water, spreading inter-religious dances and the endless open water peaceful privacy, where the girls Thai people get into the natural water flow cooling.

It's hard to imagine when on the water gap, the source of Muong Pon, Muong Lay, Muong Te, Lai Chau town lost shadow of Thai girls go "in principle" (carrying water), "Pay voltage years" (come spring)? If so, what other northwestern mountains are no longer the flowers. Thai people take very seriously the water around them and consider it as a product of that sacred divine gift. The activities of the Thai character is associated with the water from pounding rice, food, slaughter and the bathe.
My daughter is very discreet but excellent Thai Giang, Lai Chau, if you are faced with many Thai girls driving tractors to land in a field of Muong Thanh, guide visitors pit sand and foreign exchange transactions for tourists in Dien Bien Phu airport.

A very impressive images are sometimes met a Thai girl dressed for labor and shoulders bare, breasts skirt hung scorpions coming home. Although exposure to fish or carry shovels throw it at about the field they look fine decent clean, charming by cool spring has brought pleasure and beauty of their religion, after a morning of labor.
Starter Muong along each path are buong pipe water from streams and each stream has its own bath station for women - not shielded, but probably has rules: no man would dare to step into world dedicated to women. Previously at bathing, Thai girls usually carry the leaf to water pipes coated buong people - have now been replaced by soap. Length: 3 domain
On a hot afternoon along streams Lay Nam - from Muong Tung stream flows along Muong Lay town of Lai Chau and often met her bathing dress his top team on their first exposure to a cool stream. If you "accidentally" have to cross near the bathroom, they will drop down gradually as the water dress - Scorpion dorsal ashore.
It is ingenious, since the first step to wade into the water springs clear, gradually spreading skirts are raised under foot tapping steps. Surges up to where, skirts are lifted up to it gradually until the entire body are gentle stream surrounds the dress will be located on the head.Clear water flowing gently just enough to make the surface as springs freak waves to prevent the prying eyes of the boys accidentally passing.Sometimes the girls bathing medium can chat with the boys swimming in the nearby open water without fear exposed the secrets of creation given. To the bath, dresses rarely get wet but it was the body pleasure bathe in cool water. Dress to be released gradually to follow in the footsteps of Thai girls up to near-shore and the dress was almost completely cycle regulation, skirts tricky book to be across the chest.
Now the new hair is concerned, the party girl bending springs that rinsing hair, back hair in the fresh waters pure as crystal. Later, when the wave of modern full dress to the Thai village, they keep their habit to bathe the whole person, not a natural building as other peoples around the North West.
Bathing in the Northwest is probably a daughter of art that Thai people are learning right from the start that nestled close blushing. Physical beauty leg, in the morning to the holiness of the Thai girls have become the subject and endless inspiration as well as making life for many poems, songs, music, painting ...
Many farm writing poetry, songs such as: Moving into love - (in case Thai people), Me wife, I bathe, rivers and streams are set to praise the beauty of Thai girls. Poem of the Silver Em Van iron bath, Thai people, was voted as one of 100 best poems of the twentieth century:Why did the spyTheft watch me showerI feel free of the white skinThe skin of the mother, the fatherChild's hands blurHand of coal dustHands of the mountain forestsHands of the land of refugeI clean the showerStill fragrant floral flower forestI feel free of the white skinAs all of youNo stranger toThe thieves see whatI visualized spring betweenBathing in the act of loveThere he stood holdingDo not let the West to visualize
Elsewhere: Thai at Tu Le (Yen Bai) today remains the traditional definition of living souls Xiuli stream course and become fairies between heaven and earth.
Travelers to the bathroom here also, the boys also allowed public baths, the harmony between nature fun, rest or relaxation. But absolutely must keep a distance and not have bad behavior, or they will be left and the right of punishment.
Not only in the Northwest that in many upland areas, both in the Central Highlands: naked women still bare spring after the hard labor on the field. In many places in the afternoon session, dozens of women out painting work tools on large boulders and innocent as the air vent of clothes. The exposed skin painted white women feel free to sit on a rock, brandishing feet underwater thrill laughing, making great scene becomes murky thousand beautiful as a fairy tale, it made a natural masterpiece paintings. From a distance everything is a blur before the eyes, only the skin of the woman is painted wild scenes stand out from the short-skelter in the shade of sunset ... that stream old, had become taciturn shimmering, magical. If a stranger happened to appear, the wife and female painted clothing beneath the water or hide behind the rocks.

<The scrutiny of the city ...Civilization today had to take the remote villages plus the prying eyes of the plains that many customs and practices of the people lost, which, to spring and a very fast tomorrow.

But also: the plains of curiosity, staring eyes dilated and photography community popular with the little line debating or cough.
The very momentum of the region has made today's more discreet, more to avoid the shower first. Now, find a stream, where the young women in pearls and emeralds psychiatry in cooling waters gradually rare.Maybe spring has contributed to national cultural identity to be conserved. After all, eliminate vulgar thought, perhaps "first bath" is the best approach to human harmony with nature most fully, one bathroom that is not naked?
In the city: people crowded together so closely home in an apartment full of toilet facilities, kitchen to the bathroom ... place it between the vast mountain minorities: the bathroom is a clear stream flowing from the top like a fully equipped bathroom between unspoiled natural grandeur?
<Bathing not only in the Northwest that has diversified in Nghia Lo, Tu Le ...
If you appreciate traditional customs, that if the eyes see things as art, the beauty that the source of the Northwest, the Central Highlands in a way the woman bathing her first painting, you will see ourselves in the morning, bar higher as heaven and earth mingle with the legends of the region.
