Thanh Ha pottery village celebrates 500-year heritage
The 500-year-old Thanh Ha pottery village in Hoi An celebrated its Ancestor Commemoration Festival, a cultural event held on the 10th day of the 7th lunar month.
The festival featured traditional rituals performed by village elders in 'ao dai' to honor the founders of the pottery craft. Artisans demonstrated heritage techniques, including the use of traditional pottery wheels powered by foot movement to shape clay.
Key activities included the creation of 'to he' figurines, which depict the twelve animals of the zodiac, and a clay-pot rice cooking competition. In the contest, participants used wood fires and banana leaves to cook rice in traditional clay pots, recreating historical culinary customs.
