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
immediately told 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”.
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 the 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 Jaoan, France,
Germany, Singapore and the United States.
26. The themes of Dong Ho paintings are about ________.
A. landscapes B. weddings
C. various aspects of life D. animals and flowers
27. In order to make Dong Ho paintings, we need seashell powder paint, the poonah-paper and _________.

B. applying seashell powder to make various paints for painting making
C. drawing with a pen and using proper paints to make many copies of paintings
D. collecting and talking the paintings to the market for sale
