3
Recently, we made a trip to visit Dong Ho village with a desire to meet the old artisan - Nguyen Huu Sam. Just when we arrived at the
dyke in the village and talked with the villagers about the artisan, they intimately told us about him.
The old house owned by the artisan is situated in a long alley of the village. On the walls of the house there are many folk paintings in
different genres, from daily life paintings to landscape paintings shown in a set of “four seasons” and "four times".
Mr. Sam told us about his past. When he was three years old, he was instructed in the craft of making Dong Ho paintings by his
father. At five, he could help his father apply the Dong Ho paintings, and learn how to print the paper with proper colours. At seven, he
was able to draw with a pen and make the most difficult samples. Years went by and the soul of Dong Ho folk paintings has kept seashell
powder paint to the poonah-paper.
In the 1940s, this craft flourished. At that time, he was assigned by his parents to take the paintings to the market for sale. Mr. Sam
said that 17 families in the village have been engaged in making Dong Ho paintings.
Artisan Sam has always been devoted to the making of Dong Ho paintings and has waited for opportunities to restore this traditional
craft. In 1967, when the local authorities assigned him to restore the traditional genre of Dong Ho folk paintings, he gathered 50 villagers
with professional skills and collected hundreds of woodblocks to establish the Dong Ho Painting Cooperative. Thanks to his efforts, such
famous paintings as “Rat’s wedding”, “Rooster”, “Scene of jealousy” and “Writing verses about precious flowers” have been revived.
Dong Ho paintings have been available in many parts of the world such as Japan, France, Germany, Singapore and the United States.

2. In order to make Dong Ho paintings, we need seashell powder paint, the poonah-paper and ________

3. From paragraph 3, we can infer that when Mr. Sam was very young, he mostly helped his parents by
A. applying the woodblocks with proper paints and pressing them on sheets of paper ________

BAT TRANG POTTERY VILLAGE
Bat Trang, traditional porcelain pottery village with history of seven centuries, is an interesting attraction in Ha Noi that tourists
should not ignore.
Located in an area rich in clay, the village has advantage of ingredients to create fine ceramics. Moreover, lying beside the Red River,
between Thang Long and Pho Hien, two ancient trade centers in the north of Viet Nam during the 15th-17th century, Bat Trangs ceramics
were favourite products not only in the domestic market, but also foreign ones thanks to Japanese, Chinese and Western trading boats
that passed by
In the 18th and 19th century, due to restricting foreign trade policy of Trinh, Nguyen dynasty, it was difficult for pottery products in
Viet Nam to be exported to foreign countries, and some famous pottery- making villages like Bat Trang, or Chu Dau (Hai Duong
province) went through a hard time. Since 1986, thanks to economic reforms and development, more attention has been vested to the
village and the world gets a chance to know more about Vietnamese porcelain through many high quality exported Bat Trang’s ceramic
products.
Bat Trang ceramics are produced for daily household use (bowls, cups, plates, pots, bottles...), worshipping, or decoration purposes.
Nowadays, the pottery artists bring into ceramics many innovation in production techniques, and creativity in products’ features, so
many new products have been made, and even daily household items may have the beauty like decoration ones.
Visiting Bat Trang, tourists can vistit Bat Trang Porcelain and Pottery Market where they can directly make pottery products by
themselves. Many youngsters and foreign tourists are interested in this pottery- making experience, and spend a whole day in the market
making a souvenir for their families or friends.
