For generations, the intricate craft of making these paintings has been passed down through families, truly flourishing from the late 18th century until the mid-20th century. Traditionally, Dong Ho paintings were (and still are) a cherished part of Lunar New Year (Tet) celebrations, adorning homes with their vibrant colors and meaningful imagery, believed to bring <strong>good luck and prosperity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1040\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1040\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1040\" src=\"https:\/\/paradisetrips.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ho-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paradisetrips.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ho-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paradisetrips.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ho-1.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1040\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Rich History Etched in Wood<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><em>Note: To learn more about the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Vietnamese Incense making<\/span>, please<a href=\"https:\/\/paradisetrips.vn\/vietnamese-incense-making-the-fragrance-of-tradition-and-spirituality-the-scent-of-vietnams-soul\/\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> click here!<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/h5>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2.

This paper is renowned for being soft, thin, and absorbent, yet surprisingly durable and resistant to moisture. Before printing, the paper is often coated with a layer of &#8220;\u0111i\u1ec7p&#8221; powder (crushed scallop shells) mixed with rice paste, giving it a shimmering, reflective quality \u2013 a signature glow that beautifully catches the light. This is why &#8220;d\u00f3&#8221; paper is sometimes referred to as &#8220;<strong>Diep paper<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Natural Colors:<\/strong> The colors used are derived purely from nature, creating warm, earthy tones that are remarkably long-lasting. For instance, <strong>black<\/strong> comes from burnt rice straw ash or bamboo leaves, <strong>green<\/strong> from indigo leaves, <strong>yellow<\/strong> from &#8220;hoa hoe&#8221; flowers (Sophora japonica), and <strong>red<\/strong> from redwood or red stones. This natural palette gives Dong Ho paintings their distinctive and timeless appeal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Woodblock Printing:<\/strong> The intricate designs are printed using <strong>hand-carved woodblocks<\/strong>. Each color in a painting requires a separate woodblock. Artisans skillfully apply the natural pigments to the blocks and then meticulously press them onto the d\u00f3 paper, layer by layer, to create the final image. This precise process showcases incredible artistry and dedication.\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1041\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1041\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1041\" src=\"https:\/\/paradisetrips.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Introduction-to-Dong-Ho-Painting-Village-Hanoi-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paradisetrips.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Introduction-to-Dong-Ho-Painting-Village-Hanoi-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paradisetrips.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Introduction-to-Dong-Ho-Painting-Village-Hanoi-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/paradisetrips.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Introduction-to-Dong-Ho-Painting-Village-Hanoi.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1041\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Magic of Natural Materials and Handcraft<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><em>Note: To explore the <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">traditional vietnamese wines,<\/span> please <a href=\"https:\/\/paradisetrips.vn\/discover-the-authentic-taste-of-vietnamese-traditional-wine-more-than-just-a-beverage\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">click here!<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/h5>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3.
