Dragon
Pho
Ao dai
Water puppetry
-Vietnamese life is profoundly
influenced by ancestor worship. Children learn at a very early age that
they owe everything to their parents
and their ancestors. Doing well in
school and working hard honors one's
parents and the family name. Respect
for parents and ancestors is extended
to all elders, whose life experiences are
valued.
One of the most
famous Vietnam
noodle is Pho(
pronounce as Fuh)
It is a combination of
white rice noodle,
beef and vegetable
Water puppetry is a distinct Vietnamese art which had its origins in the
10th century. In Water Puppetry a split-bamboo screen obscures puppets
which stand in water, and are manipulated using long poles hidden
beneath the water
Each puppet is
carefully carved, and
then painted with
numerous successive
layers of paint to
protect the puppets.
The beauty of
women dressed
in ao dai always
leaves a deep
impression on
foreign visitors
to Vietnam
-Ao Dai is the
symbol of
Vietnamese
women
-Young girls
wear pure white,
fully-lined outfits
symbolizing
their purity
In the past, both men and
women were expected to be
married at young ages.
Marriages were generally
arranged by the parents and
extended family, with the
children having limited say in
the matter.
