In the past, after harvest time, Vietnamese people made handicraft works to meet their own needs. Their products are very skillful and sophisticated, even though they are farmers and do not specialize in handicrafts. The techniques were kept secret, but taught to relatives or fellow villagers. The village, therefore, became a very important institution in the handicraft industry. The village's name became the trademark of handicraft products made by its villagers. - the village's temple became the place of worship and the man who first taught the villagers to do these handicraft works.
