Xu hướng và những vấn đề đặt ra trong biến đổi văn hóa làng Xuân La, xã Phượng Dực, thành phố Hà Nội

Abstract

Xuan La Village of Phuong Duc commune, Hanoi city is renowned for its traditional craft of making To he (toy figurines made of glutinous rice powder). It is also an important archaeological site where boat-shaped tombs and Dong Son bronze drums, dating back approximately 2.000 years, have been discovered. Located in a low-lying floodplain area of the Red River Delta, Xuan La was historically submerged for most of the year. This adaptation gave rise to a local culture with distinctive characteristics of floodplain communities, reflected in village landscapes, housing arrangements, religious architecture, as well as customs and lifestyles. In the decades following the Doi Moi (Renovation) economic reforms of 1986, amid globalization, modernization, and the development of a market economy, the people of Xuan La Village have actively embraced social transformation. Through their dynamism and adaptability, they have made significant economic progress, gradually improving their living standards while also contributing to the transformation of their village’s traditional cultural identity.
