The article reflects the art of using wild beeswax to print patterns on traditional costumes of the Dao Tien people in Hoai Khao hamlet, Quang Thanh commune, Nguyen Binh district, Cao Bang province.
Depending on the pre-determined patterns on the skirt, collar, or cuffs, women will use tools to dip into beeswax and print the patterns onto the fabric. After the beeswax dries, the fabric will be dyed with indigo, dried 15-20 times, then soaked in hot water to dissolve the beeswax, leaving ivory-white patterns on the indigo background.
First Prize in the photo reportage category with the theme "Unique water bridge of Van village" by author An Thanh Dat.
The photo series is about the water wrestling festival (or mud wrestling) held every 4 years in Van village, Van Ha commune, Viet Yen district, Bac Giang province from April 12-15 of the lunar calendar. The festival belongs to the folk belief of worshiping the Sun God of farmers in this land since ancient times. Previously in 2022, the Van village water wrestling festival was recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
