The old house located on the rooftop of a villa in Bac Tu Liem district (Hanoi) makes many passersby curious because of its unique architecture, combining traditional features inside a modern building. so. This project is owned by Mr. Nguyen Van Vu and his wife, Quynh Lien. The total area of ​​a floor is 460 m2, the area of ​​the old church is 100 m2. Looking from afar on Lien Mac dike, the house stands out. The outside is covered with antique imitation refractory brick. Quynh Lien shared that in the past, the family owned an old church, and the neighbors had not built much, so the space was very open. But when the storey building continued to grow, the house was blocked and lost. With an age of more than 100 years, the family calculates that the old house will deteriorate, so it needs to be repaired for long-term use. In addition, the family has a 4-generation tradition of making sculpture, so they also want more space to display products. Therefore, Ms. Lien said this unique project was born. Quynh Lien said that it took her husband about 2 years to come up with the idea of ​​​​designing a house that combines classic and modern. In 1 year of construction (from February 2020), she and her husband had to edit a lot by themselves until they liked it. “We want the villa to be both a place to keep and preserve the old church and a place for our parents to stay close and familiar. Relatives feel very happy to know that my husband and I will keep them. I got the old house because this is the place that holds so many memories of people in the past,” Quynh Lien shared. Ms. Lien said that before putting it on the rooftop, the entire old church had to be demolished, brought to a wood workshop in Quoc Oai district for repair, and then returned to the roof of the villa. The traditional wooden house structure of the church is still preserved with wooden trusses, fish-scale tile roof and 3 compartments and 2 wings. The traditional layout is still maintained, with enough counters, mahogany furniture, sofa tables and chairs. The small Buddha altar is at the top, then the family altar, the altar to worship the gods. The hundred-year-old horizontal paintings and couplets are still preserved. The family added a few details in the design such as wooden floors, self-contained toilets, glass windows… to match the modern lifestyle. The roof, the owner uses traditional jackfruit wood to make the support. The new tile is custom-made according to the original prototype. At the rooftop campus, Ms. Lien’s family decorated more miniatures, aquariums, etc. with pure Vietnamese decoration. In addition, many products made by the Lien family, such as Buddha statues, musical couples, etc., are also displayed around the yard. Another highlight in the innovative structure of this building is that the courtyard brick foundation is not red brick but white brick. According to the owner, the house on high is easy to catch the sun, so the white tile will be reduced, which makes the floor cooler. At the same time, the decorations will stand out, not mixed in color. The steps entering the old house are also changed, looking new and modern. “I maintain and develop, not just rebuild like the ancient way, the landscape is more suitable for the current and more innovative lifestyle,” Lien explained. Around the old house, Ms. Lien planted trees such as apples, jackfruit, star fruit, guava, bougainvillea, vi… to make the space cooler. The overall design of the villa has 5 floors. In the photo is the space on the first floor to receive guests, the mezzanine floor as a room to hang pictures, the family’s sculpture museum. The 2nd floor is a gallery of sculpture products of the production company, the 3rd floor is the family room, the 4th floor is the old church and where grandparents live, displaying other works. Finally, the 5th floor is the gym and technical room. The 5th floor ceiling design space is like a park, both a place for children and grandchildren to play, and a place to gather to enjoy the family’s BBQ. The lighting system is installed around the house space. Thanks to the lighting system, the house stands out and sparkles more when it’s dark.

According to Feng Shui Chinh Phai, the following are 4 types of flowers that are “difficult to attract fortune”, some even attract negative energy, which should not be worshiped at the altar of the God of Fortune. The incense flower offering is one of the essential items to offer to the altar to show respect and sincerity of the owner. However, for each type of altar, homeowners also need to pay attention to choosing the right flowers, both to increase the fulfillment when praying and to avoid breaking the rules and breaking the spiritual place. According to feng shui feng shui, here are 4 types of flowers that are “difficult to attract fortune”, some even lead to negative energy that should not be worshiped at the altar of God of Fortune: Chrysanthemum flower Chrysanthemum is a very popular flower, meaning auspicious longevity, very popular with Vietnamese people for spiritual worship. However, chrysanthemums also have the meaning of nostalgia for the past, so they are more suitable for worshiping ancestors. Besides, chrysanthemum is also used in many different events, so it is not suitable to place it in the altar of the God of Wealth, which is a place for the owner to ask for fortune and peace. Jasmine Jasmine flowers are also used for sound and burial purposes, so they are absolutely not used to burn incense to the God of Fortune. It means unlucky, fortune fortune goes down markedly. Moreover, jasmine has an attractive scent to snakes, when these species come to the altar, it also makes the family insecure. Fake plastic flowers Flowers in worship also mean offering good and good things and expressing gratitude and respect of the owner to the god. Using fake plastic flowers makes no sense and even disturbs the air field at the place of worship. Feng shui expert Phung Phuong has emphasized many times that the use of plastic items on the altar not only does not bring positive energy or any effect on feng shui, but also causes the accumulation of negative energy, attracting evil spirits to the family. more insecure, encounter many bad things. Withered flowers for a long time do not change If you leave the flowers for too long, the flowers will wither, wither, become ugly and have an unpleasant odor. This will lose the solemnity, offend the spiritual level. In feng shui, things that are not good are no longer alive and do not bring good energy, which directly affects the fortune of the altar. Besides, homeowners also need to avoid worshiping flowers such as hibiscus, buttons, etc., because they inherently have unsightly names and inappropriate meanings for worshiping in dignified places. At the altar of the God of Fortune, you can refer to offering flowers with cheerful and lucky colors and meanings such as gerbera, roses, lilies, tulips, heather… * Information for reference and contemplation.

Yersin shrine in Tan Xuong village 2 (Suoi Dau, Cam Lam, Khanh Hoa). Mr. Tran Sum, 63, head of Tan Xuong 2 village, when he opened the door for us to visit the communal house, introduced: – Our people still used to call Mr. Yersin Mr. Nam. In Tan Xuong village, we have a temple of Ong Nam for a long time. But this is a new shrine, because since the separation to establish Tan Xuong 2 village, villagers built communal houses and built more teachers’ shrines. He is the sage of the whole region, including the villagers of Xinjiang 2. Our people are forever grateful and remember him! On festive occasions, people here and visitors from all over the world still come here to smoke incense, offer sacrifices and ask for his blessing for a peaceful and prosperous life! It is known that Alexandre Yesin first came to Nha Trang in 1891, when this area was still isolated from the surrounding area. He was a famous scientist who was the first to discover the plague bacteria in the world, named after him (Yersin Pestis), the discoverer of the Lam Vien plateau – Da Lat and also the pioneer of the plague. opened roads from the central region through this plateau to Cambodia and Laos. Love of life and people, like a predestined fate, attached Alexander Yersin to the land of Nha Trang and Suoi Dau, including Tan Xuong village. Statue of Alexander Yersin in the central park of Dalat. In 1898, when he returned to Nha Trang, Yersin built the Pasteur Institute in Nha Trang and expanded hundreds of hectares of land in Suoi Dau area to set up a farm. He brought here many precious plants and animals. He planted coffee, coca, opened a rubber plantation, built a center to produce anti-epidemic serum for cows, turning this place into a center for agricultural science research and experiments. He built a dispensary to serve local people, together with them to develop production and improve living standards in this area. From Suoi Dau, in 1914, Yersin continued to explore Hon Ba mountain, reclaimed thousands of hectares of the area around the mountain, introduced new plants to plant, raise and protect birds, plant forests and advise people quit the habit of burning forests. He planted quinoa and experimented with producing anti-malarial drugs for people. The development of Suoi Dau – Hon Ba area to this day originates from the tectonics and expansions of Yersin 123 years ago. The remembrance of the people of this region for him is the Vietnamese principle of “When drinking water, remember the source”. During a recent trip through the Central Highlands and Central provinces, I often think of Yersin’s image when he and a few locals explore this land. The trips through the sacred forests of poisonous water, without human footprints. Long trips with elephants through the plateau to southern Laos and northern Cambodia. There was a trip where he was robbed and nearly killed himself if the locals did not promptly save him… The highways on the Central Highlands are getting longer and wider and linking the whole region today with traces from the trails of the year. Yersin and his companions went to search and explore. In the central park of Da Lat city, there is a bust of Yersin made of gray stone, where a panoramic view of this dreamy city can be seen hidden in the morning mist. Surely Yersin was also pleased when on the plateau that he discovered during his expedition in 1893, such a beautiful city was born. Yersin’s tombstone. On the way from Da Lat to Nha Trang, we passed through Hon Ba – Suoi Dau area, which is undergoing many changes. We visited Alexandre Yersin’s grave (1863-1943) in the middle of a quiet green area, with only the sound of the wind whispering like a song over the years to remember him, a man from far away who came and loved the piece. this land as the fate of his life. On a normal day, there are still fresh flower petals on the grave. 78 years ago, when he passed away, Yersin donated everything he had built to his associates and people here, with his will to be buried in Suoi Dau, his second hometown. The building of Indochina Medical School, where Yersin was the first Principal, formerly. The imprints of Alexander Yersin, a great man who has been honored as an “honorary citizen of Vietnam”, are still preserved in many places in this country: the system of Pasteur institutes (institute of hygiene and epidemiology). in Vietnam, which he and his colleagues laid the foundation for, is still growing and playing a very important role in the fight against the epidemic, especially these days. first, then the Hanoi University of Medicine and Pharmacy, which have developed into large training centers for human health care.Da Lat city on Lam Vien plateau, “city city” thousands of flowers” is also growing day by day, there are roads and flower gardens, centers named Yersin in Hanoi, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Lat… Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (Pasteur Institute) on Yersin Street in Hanoi. Everyone’s life is finite. Yersin has gone far, but in Vietnam, the foundations for life that he has contributed to building, creating and leaving an indelible mark will be eternal.

Wibu is a word used to refer to non-Japanese people who are obsessed with Japanese culture through Manga, Anime, lLght novels. In Vietnam, the term Wibu is often used with a negative connotation to refer to Anime and Manga fans who are too passionate, or those who do not know anything about Japanese culture but like to show off. Origin from Wibu Wibu is actually a re-pronunciation of the word Weeaboo. Weeaboo’s predecessor was Wapanese, which is a combination of white (white/white) or wannabe (want to be) and Japanese (belonging to Japan). Appearing a lot on the website 4chan in the early 2000s, the word Wapanese was born with the connotation of white people obsessed with Japanese culture, viewing it as superior to Japanese culture. national and other cultures. Later, people used the word Weeaboo more often instead of Wapanese, even though the meaning of both words was the same. Illustration Currently, this word is also used for other countries, not just the West. When Weeaboo was introduced to Vietnam, the word was changed to Wibu (pronounced Weeaboo). Today, wibu is also used to refer to those who do not understand Japan or Japanese culture but like to show off. Wibu identification Not everyone who loves Japanese culture is Wibu, but only passionate, outrageous fans who worship Japanese culture so much that they are ready to “stone war” with others to promote it. The new Japanese culture is Wibu. Illustration Some characteristics to identify Wibu: – People who are so obsessed with Japanese culture that they value Japanese culture more than their native culture and other cultures. – Shows an “obsession” with Manga, Anime and other cultures adapted from Japanese culture. – Use Japanese words as your catchphrase. Even Japanese words are misused by them. – Most of these people know Japan and Japanese based on Anime and Manga. – Another manifestation of Wibu is having a desire to become Japanese.

With the development of science and technology, people are enjoying more and more delicious and nutritious fruits. However, many of the old fruits that grew on the street are now rare and of very high value. Today we refer to the white whip or white jade whip, called the milk plum in the South. Vermicelli is a tropical fruit, when ripe has a sweet, delicious, watery taste. The common whip is red or pink, while the white whip or white jade whip is very rare. White jade whip was originally abundant in Southeast Asia and neighboring areas, but because people did not know the uses and health benefits of the fruit, they cut it down a lot, and now there are very few. White jade whip itself has high nutritional value, the yield is also large, but due to the extremely thin skin, easy to scratch when transporting, not many people want to trade. In Thailand, white jade whip is called a “cotton fruit”, which is considered a precious and valuable fruit. When exporting to China, the value of white jade whip doubled. Thai people do not often grow white jade whip, do not focus on this tree, so white jade whip is often harvested from trees that grow in the wild. In addition, according to Thai people, they often find white jade whip near temples and shrines, so they think that white jade whip is a very spiritual tree. According to gourmets, white jade whip not only has eye-catching colors, looks very beautiful, is also delicious to eat, and has more flavor than pink whip and red whip. Not only that, white jade whip is also considered to be sweeter, more watery and softer, even the elderly and children love to eat. Seen from a distance, white jade whips grow in clusters, hanging on branches, creating the feeling of transparent jade blocks, when backlit it looks even more sparkling. In Eastern medicine, white jade whip not only has high nutritional value but also has many different healing uses. Specifically, white jade whip is rich in protein, fat and carbohydrates, has an average sweet taste, has a cooling effect, a diuretic, and has a very good cure for cough and asthma. In addition, this fruit also has the role of clearing heat, nourishing the lungs, lowering blood pressure, used in summer to quench thirst and cool down very well. If mixed with rock sugar, it is even more delicious, children love it, helps with good digestion and increases appetite. And yet, white jade whip is rich in magnesium and calcium, the synergistic effect of these two elements can calm muscles and nerves, thereby helping to relax the body and mind, reduce stress and anxiety. People are soothed nerves, fall asleep faster.

In this South Asian country, it is easy to find similar shrines dedicated to Covid-19 and other plagues. “Goddess Corona is the only hope” Since the outbreak of the pandemic, India has recorded more than 27 million cases and more than 322,000 deaths from Covid-19. The latest outbreak that began in March has left the country’s health system in crisis because of a lack of hospital beds and oxygen. In states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Assam, women gather near temples or under sacred trees to worship the corona virus, which is realized in the form of a goddess known as “Corona Maa”. . They sit around in a circle and perform rituals, offering milk, coconuts, flowers and sweets to the deity. Some chanted prayers to appease the goddess’ wrath. Bimla Kumari, a resident of Patna, the capital of Bihar state, said: “We are worshiping ‘Corona Maa’ so that our family members remain safe from the virus. The goddess’s wrath will be appeased with offerings, for she is an angry goddess, not a benevolent goddess. The hospitals are overcrowded and the government doesn’t care. So the goddess is our only hope.” After worshiping “Corona Maa” under a banyan tree with his friends, Kumari said “luckily, everyone gathered here today is healthy”. Monks perform a prayer ritual before the god “Corona Devi” at Kamatchipuri Adhinam temple in Coimbatore city to ask for blessings and help people overcome the Covid-19 pandemic. Photo: AFP. In India, there is a long tradition that in times of disaster, people turn to faith to alleviate suffering. The worshipers of Sheetla Mata – the goddess of smallpox – believed that she would protect them from the disease by killing the demons believed to cause it. Goddess Sheetla Mata is said to be the reincarnation of the Hindu goddess Durga. A 300-year-old temple in Gurgaon, near New Delhi, is dedicated to this goddess Sheetla Mata. In addition, some other temples specialize in praying for healing. These places worship male deities, for example Vaitheeswaran temple in the town of Mayiladuthurai in the state of Tamil Nadu. Here, devotees pray before the incarnation of Lord Shiva. Mahadeva Temple in Kerala state is where devotees come to cure epilepsy and chronic asthma. In the Tumkur district of neighboring Karnataka state, cancer patients regularly visit the Areyuru Vaidhyanatheshwara temple. They believe that this temple can cure them without treatment with modern medicine. The Pataleshwar Temple in the city of Muradabad, Uttar Pradesh – now closed due to the pandemic – is often a popular destination for people with skin diseases. Many pilgrims come here to ask for blessings by bringing brooms as offerings or sweeping the floors of the temple. Broom shops near temples are usually very expensive on weekends. After offering, most brooms are returned to the seller and continue to be sold to the next person. Elsewhere in the state of Uttar Pradesh, a hand pump at the Jagnewa Hanuman temple pumps up water that many believe has healing powers. Believers believe that a saint touched the pump and infused it with healing powers. They take water in a glass bottle and pour it over the patient’s body in the belief that they will be cured. Anant Kumar, a local, said: ‘My daughter’s chronic asthma – a disease that modern medicine could not cure for many years – disappeared within a month after she took it. water is taken from this manual pump”. Monks worship idols of god Shiva and goddess Parvati at a temple in Prayagraj city, India. Photo: AP. Cultural traditions or superstition? Millions of Indians place their trust in such “healing” temples. Meanwhile, many people are still skeptical about this and think that this is superstition. Harsh Bhagnani, an engineer in Mumbai, said: “Healing temples are just as effective as a placebo for fanatics. Curative therapies should be rooted in modern science and medicine.” Some opponents of these temples argue that the reason people flock here is because the health care system in India is not focused on investment. According to the results of the Human Development Report 2020 of the United Nations Development Program, India ranks 155 out of 167 countries in terms of the number of hospital beds available to meet people’s needs. The country-specific rate is 5 hospital beds and 8.6 doctors per 10,000 population. However, for RP Mitra, a professor of anthropology at Delhi University, these religious rituals are deeply rooted in the Indian subconscious. Indian hospitals are overwhelmed by the second wave of Covid-19, with shortages of hospital beds and medical oxygen. Photo: Reuters. “These temples are a fulcrum, helping believers in times of insecurity, fear, and suffering caused by deadly diseases. The temples can be seen as a supernatural complex.” Professor Mitra analyzed. He said religious people may still want to receive divine blessings and still have faith in modern medicine, as the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. “Whether it’s traditional Chinese medicine or ancient therapies practiced across countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal or India, religious beliefs have always been incorporated into traditional medicine,” he said. said more. Countries rush to send medical supplies to India Before the request for support from India, some countries rushed to send medical equipment, including ventilators and oxygen generators, to support the South Asian country in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic.

After more than an hour of traveling from Hanoi, the whole group was bathed in the cool, misty air on top of Tam Dao mountain. The sweltering sun that heralded summer the past few days had completely disappeared. The whole group cheered when the car stopped and rushed down to take advantage of “hunting clouds”, enjoying the cool taste at an altitude of more than 1,300 meters above sea level. The time budget is not generous, the early morning dew will dissipate quickly when the sun rises, the car continues to carry us with cold thin mists from the top of the mountain slowly to Tay Thien mountain. Belief in worshiping Quoc Mau Tay Thien has been included in the list of National Intangible Cultural Heritage. (Photo: Pham Anh Tuan) The sacred place of Ky Son Not to disappoint us, Tay Thien spiritual tourist-scenic area appears to be a mountainous area with beautiful features in the middle of a majestic natural place. This place converges all kinds of waterfalls, streams, along with ancient temples and pagodas, which are adorned with brilliant yellow linden trees. The best thing is that in the middle of the season change, the endemic peony bushes of Tam Dao are still springing with purple myrtle bushes racing to call Summer. In the sound of the wind, is the harmony of the waterfall, creating a charming scene in the midst of the vast mountains and forests. The first impression that came to us was the Thong Temple of Thien An Pagoda with the nine-root banyan tree – an ancient natural structure that has stood between heaven and earth for hundreds of years on this land. The banyan tree is like a conductor of the sacred mountains here. BILLION The sound of leaves whispering tells us about the legend of the origin of Buddhism that appeared here from the 3rd century BC to the belief of Mother Goddess – Tay Thien Lang Thi Tieu – Chinh Vuong consort of Hung. The Seventh Emperor. It can be said that the interference between the beliefs of Mother Goddess worship and Buddhism of this historical and cultural relic complex immediately made us fascinated with the very mysterious features of Tay Thien. But this is just a place to stop before climbing the pass and wading streams up to Thuong Temple – the place to worship Quoc Mau on the top of Tay Thien mountain. In the past, it took half a day to climb the pass, wade through streams, even have to swing the forest rope to reach the Upper Temple with a distance of more than 3km. Today, trams take visitors from Temple Thong to the foot of the mountain, taking only five minutes, and a modern cable car system will take visitors to enjoy Tay Thien from above for another 10 minutes. Only 15 minutes, our group reached Co temple, Cau temple halfway up the mountain. From here, everyone has to try the flexibility of their feet for another 15 minutes of incline, sometimes up to 60-70 degrees to reach the sacred Thuong Temple – located on the top of the cloud-covered Tay Thien mountain. Community place Our group stopped at the Mau temple, respectfully offered incense. The voice of the prose singing chau van swan: “Vietnam has a thousand Dong Lo / The North has Tay Thien mountain. Follow the world’s memories/Three saints and saints of Christmas help life./The people of Son Dinh are home/See a wise man./Mother is in charge of incense smoke/I pray for peace and harmony in the country. “. Oh, it turns out that Kim Oanh’s Congregation for the Holy Mother of bronze bar Kim Oanh from Hanoi is doing community activities here, performing the price of Tay Thien Mother to speak about the merits of helping King Hung expand his territory, teach people to grow wet rice, and military graves, strengthening the reign of Quoc Mau. We were silent when enjoying this special cultural space. Indeed, the heritage of worshiping Quoc Mau Tay Thien is not only a cultural symbol of Vinh Phuc province but also carries many values ​​of history, culture, patriotic tradition, and unity of the peoples. strong against foreign invaders. Now, the worship of the Tay Thien Mother Goddess has been included in the list of National Intangible Cultural Heritage and Tam Dao district is requesting to be established – completing the dossier requesting UNESCO to register social practices and beliefs. worshiping Tay Thien Mother here is the representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity. With that awareness, Tay Thien Spiritual Tourist Area is one of the few tourist destinations that no longer have the scene to attract visitors and along with it are hundreds of workers who are preserving and beautifying the landscape here. As one of the places of community activities of Mother Worship, Tay Thien often welcomes many visitors from all over the world to practice Mother Goddess worship. Kim Oanh’s group is one of them. Ms. Le Thi Linh (sanitation worker) said: “Our cleaning team has 17 people, working from 6 am to 5 pm. The annual festival takes place on February 15 to 17 of the lunar calendar every year, with tens of thousands of guests attending. But in the past two years, due to the Covid-19 epidemic situation, only the ceremony part was held, the festival part was not held anymore, so the number of visitors decreased a lot. Sharing with me, Mr. Nguyen Hung Nam (tram team) confided: “I have been working here for five years with 12 other electric car brothers. In previous years, our fleet had 60 vehicles running continuously, but now the number of passengers is decreasing, the staff is also decreasing. Being able to work in a spiritual place like this, we are really comfortable. I took guests to the Mau ceremony, so my mind was also relieved.” He added that every year, the Management Board conducts renovation of the scenic area based on nature, not as an artificial landscape. The service attitude of the staff towards visitors is also always improved. Guests feel comfortable will return and recommend to many others to know. International visitors, especially Japanese and Korean tourists, often come here to visit and enjoy religious activities on the Mau Temple. The trip received the enthusiastic response of the union members of the World & Vietnam Newspaper. (Photo: Pham Anh Tuan) One-way love Too busy playing forgot about time. When the clouds of blue smoke began to fall, the beauty of Tay Thien Temple began to return to its inherent solitude. And perhaps the quiet beauty of the mountains gives people the feeling of being next to the source. Resting in a small roadside shop, reviewing old stories with his brothers, Head of the delegation – Editor-in-Chief Nguyen Van Trung shared memories of the first days of receiving his assignment at the Working Office since the early 1990s. Mr. do not forget to mention the previous generation of Editor-in-Chief who laid the foundation and built the newspaper, … so that today, the younger generations unite to bring the Newspaper to development day by day. After a busy day at work, this is really a precious moment when we quietly enjoy the quiet and clear space together. After a long day, it’s time to sunset, every trip has to come back – back to work, to responsibilities, to the hustle and bustle of life, then there will be a time to return to find some quiet in the West. Sky. It is not a coincidence that every year Tay Thien attracts so many tourists from all over the world. People were delighted to feel the compassion of the Buddha and the generosity of the Mother, which is the tolerance, protection, and universal salvation of the world, seeing that people’s hearts were relaxed when they returned to Tay Thien.

This bridge was built by Japanese merchants in the early 17th century. Due to the influence of natural disasters, the Covered Bridge has been restored many times and lost Japanese architectural elements, replaced by architecture. Vietnamese-Chinese style architecture. Legend has it that in 1719, Lord Nguyen Phuc Lai visited the pagoda and gifted the pagoda with three words “Lai Van Kieu”, which means “Friends from far away”, as an admiration, praise, and at the same time. Express your love for the scenery here. Around the 17th century, at this time the building was only considered a means of transportation for people. In 1653, people built an additional part of the pagoda, connected to the northern railing, protruding between the bridge, from which the locals called it Chua Cau. Hoi An Bridge Pagoda is called a pagoda, but it does not worship Buddha but worships the North De Tran Vo – a god who protects the country, bringing joy and happiness to people on this land. According to legend, the origin of the Covered Bridge is associated with the legend of the monster Namazu (also known as the Cu) – a sea monster in Japanese legend. This beast has a head in India, a body in Vietnam, and a tail that runs all the way to Japan. So every time it moves, disasters like floods, earthquakes… will happen. Therefore, the temple was built with the meaning of a sword blocking Namazu’s back, preventing it from moving, helping the lives of the people of… all three countries more peaceful. The Covered Bridge is a unique construction in our country, with long historical value, this is also the symbol of Hoi An city in Quang Nam province, so it was chosen to be printed on the VND 20,000 bill. Up to now, the temple seems to have become an invaluable asset, officially chosen as the symbol of Hoi An.

According to the folk tradition of our people, the altar is a sacred place to worship ancestors in the house. When placing the altar you absolutely need to avoid including under the rafters, under the stairs or the toilet. You should also not place the altar opposite the toilet or the kitchen because the air is very strong, not good for the place of worship, which can easily affect fortune and health. In addition, the altar wall should not be attached to the kitchen or toilet, above the pipes or drains. At the same time, you should also avoid placing the altar in places where there is a strong wind passing by because it will affect the sacred place. The worship area always needs quiet The place to place the altar you should put away from all kinds of audio equipment such as speakers, radio, TV … or musical instruments such as piano, trumpet, drums … because they will affect the spiritual place of your home. At the same time, because the heat of incense bowls and worshiping items is also incompatible with fans and air conditioners, placing them close together will not be good for electronic devices. If you commit this, it will cause turmoil in the family, not getting along, unstable health, especially the man in the family. Do not place the altar near the toilet Do not place in a dark place The altar is a place that needs quiet and separation. However, on the altar, it is always necessary to maintain enough light for the homeowner to easily observe, and at the same time, create a solemn and solemn atmosphere for the place of worship. When choosing yellow light is the right choice for most living rooms today. In addition, homeowners should avoid overusing decorative flashing lights because they are not good for the water room, which can easily affect the Buddha gods who are always on the higher throne than their ancestors. Besides, when placing the altar of God Buddha and the altar of ancestors, it is better to place them apart or make two separate altars. The reason is that Gods and Buddhas are often vegetarians, while their ancestors can eat salty foods. When you offer food, you should also separate these two altars. Do not place the altar lower than a person’s head The altar must be higher than a person’s head One of the principles when designing the altar is that you should set the height of the altar to be higher than the head to pay respect to the gods and ancestors in the house. When you place the altar lower than eye level, every time you burn incense or pray, the owner has to look down, which will cause difficulties. At the same time, this is a very serious taboo in Asian spiritual culture when the superior is lower than the lower.

According to some historical documents, this village was formed in the 15th century. The name Phuoc Tich It means wishing that the people in the village will accumulate many blessings to leave for the next life. What makes Phuoc Tich village special is the system of ancient houses and traditional garden houses from the past. Currently, in the village, there are about 117 households, with nearly 30 old houses (including 10 churches, the rest are mostly typical ruong houses of Hue). In which, there are 12 houses ranked with special value. Interestingly, the houses all have a large garden, separated by rows of neatly trimmed tea. Besides the unique ruong houses, ancient and majestic worship works, Phuoc Tich ancient village has a traditional profession of making ceramic extremely special.

However, not everyone is aware of the harmful mistakes that will bring bad luck to your family. Feng shui expert Phung Phuong pointed out that 5 great cavalry owners need to be especially avoided, absolutely should not be committed. Experts say that it is quite difficult to build a house, not to let ignorance break the sand of the plan. Enter trach when the house is not completed When the house has not been completed, it means that the atmosphere is unstable, which can easily lead to turmoil and turmoil. You live in such an unstable environment, also detrimental to your health, wealth, and bad luck. When entering trach at a time when the feng shui is not good, later life will also be difficult to achieve the desired performance. I advise you, after finishing all the works from internal bonding to the small landscape, wait 1-2 weeks before doing the import ceremony. Wrong date entered I see a lot of families who do not choose the right day to join. To have a good day must ensure two factors: according to the plan and the age of the owner.
Many times, if you only count by your age, you forget the fortune, this is a damaging thing. You should move to a new home when the land is prosperous and stable. In feng shui, there are 3 elements Thien, Dia and Nhan, the element of Geography depends on time.
That is the reason that our feng shui remains unchanged, but the progress at ups and downs, so you need to choose a day of prosperity to welcome the good sand. An incorrect altar If you place the altar to worship the altar before entering the trach, it is wrong with the formal feng shui process. When you get home, you will move a lot of spills such as: beds, wardrobes … into the house.
In the process of stable installation, it is easy to move the altar and disturb the aura.
In addition, you usually have to knock on a fixed angle, creating loud noises and creating pulses to “worship”.
The church committee just got home has been “moved” and will bring negative things. Feng Shui 100 days first When you first come home, you will not only do the ceremony of the first day but also need to burn incense for 100 consecutive days with the aim of: stabilizing the atmosphere, increasing the vitality.
If you accidentally forget 12 days out of those 100 days, it will take a long time before you can stabilize the gas for the whole house. * Information for reference only.

Feng Shui Feng Phuong said Buddha statues are very sacred, so we should pay attention to taboos to avoid bringing unfortunate things to the family. You need to note the following 6 things to not plead guilty to the Buddha to welcome the peace of mind in the house: 1. Location of Buddha statue Buddha statues are not suitable for the bedroom, this will lose your dignity and affect your rest. Buddha statues must be placed in a serious place, should not be stored in cabinets or drawers. Where to place the Buddha statue, you need to choose a place that you think is the most respectful, then with the most respectful affection and choose the most appropriate time to place the Buddha statue. Buddha altars are usually placed in the living room. If the house has many floors, it is possible to place a Buddha altar on the upper floor, avoiding the projection under the toilet or under the bed. 2. Do not post mixed Buddha images It must be remembered that the Buddha altar is definitely not displayed in the direction but must be placed in the middle of the house and the altar of the grandparents should be worshiped on one side. If it is a high-rise building, you must place a Buddha statue on the top floor. At the Buddha altar, it is forbidden to leave any objects other than the vase, lampstand and fruit plate. These items need to be cleaned by care. In addition, pictures with Buddha images are absolutely not rolled up as doing so may cause headaches for those living in the family. When the eyes or fingers of the Buddha statues in the paintings are damaged, they must be repaired or redrawn. 3. When you first invite the Buddha statue to your home, you need to cover it, clear it up and put it in the right place According to folk beliefs, when you want to worship Buddha statues, the first thing is to choose a good date, good direction and before that, you have to ask someone to do the opening ceremony. Doing this ceremony is to show a sense of caution, while choosing a good date is to show the wish for a good day. More importantly, the statue of Buddha, Bodhisattva is not said to buy to worship, but to call it to call because Buddha, gods are not items to buy home. 4. If the Buddha statue is damaged, it means that it is out of conditions, you need to replace it with a new Buddha image and perform the same procedure as placing a new Buddha image. If the Buddha statue in the house is too old or has been for a long time, the landlord is not allowed to throw or throw it in a corner. If the Buddha statue is accidentally broken, it should not be brushed and thrown away, but must be wrapped in yellow paper. On the first day of the day, bring it to light in the sun to see off your Buddha statues. If you accidentally break the Buddha statue’s finger, we have to roll it up with red paper and try to install it. If the Buddha deity breaks, it should be glued with red paper. Instead, the landlord needs to buy a new Buddha statue to replace and bring the old Buddha statue to the temple or temple or can burn with gold coins. When placing the Buddha statue on the altar, under the statue, there must be a plate with red paper to show respect and solemnity to the Buddha. 5. Paper Buddha images should not be rolled up By doing so according to beliefs: will cause headaches for those living in the family. When the eyes and fingers of the Buddha statue in the painting are damaged, they must be repaired or redrawn. If they are not redrawn the same way, the people living in the house are susceptible to reciprocal disease, the damaged Buddha statue. 6. Change daily offerings All offerings on the Buddha statue’s altar, such as fruit or tea, must be changed daily. The offering table can be taken care of depending on the homeowner’s circumstances, neither cumbersome nor show-off. The Buddha deity is a sacred escape, you need to be sincere and sincere when you want to worship and pray for peace for your family. Maitreya Buddha is considered a symbol of joy, happiness and prosperity. He will alleviate all the sorrows, anger, and pains of the world towards joy and happiness. * Information in the article is for reference only.

Located in Yen village (Thach Xa commune, Thach That, Hanoi city), Khum bridge is a hundred years old, an ancient tile bridge with unique and rare architecture. This is a bridge made in the style of Thuong Gia Ha Kieu, which means the top is the house and the bottom is the bridge. From a distance, the bridge looks like a side-down boat, so it is called the Khum Bridge. The people in the village do not know exactly how old the bridge is, even the oldest people in the village were born to see this bridge. Khum bridge spans the stream of water flowing from Huong Ngai, Canh Nau, and Bui field to Tich river. In the past, the only path to Yen village had to cross the Khum bridge and the bridge acted as the village gate. All activities of production, daily life and communication of the villagers all pass through this bridge. The bridge was repaired in year 1935, in which the lower part was completely redone. In 1948, French invaders swept over, burned bridges, villagers came to extinguish fire to cure, the remaining dark gray burns are up to now. The entire front part of the bridge. Above the gable, there are concave boxes, thread edges, flowers and leaves, zucchini, lantern pillars, very sophisticated artifacts. The bridge roof is covered with funny nose tiles. The entire wall is made of ancient laterite, the rest of the truss system and rafters are made of solid wood, under the upper house there are 3 sluice gates which are swept with laterite, hewn orange, very strong. In the low water season, the middle drain is nearly 3m wide so small boats can pass. The Thuong Gia section is over 12m long, divided into 5 compartments, 2 of which are made of quartet wood, with 2 rows of pillars, 2 rows of pillars. The middle part is higher and lower to the 2 gable heads, creating a characteristic “cambered” shape for the project. Bridge frame structure is made of trusses throughout, with a bridge connecting the two trusses, the armpit beams connecting the female column with the child column, no screws, following the traditional construction style of the Vietnamese. Khum bridge structure. And the two sides of the nave were rebuilt to serve as a worshiping committee of Quan Than Linh, Than Kim Quy, and Than Dai Eagle. The three sides are left empty to make wooden stalls, which is the resting place of the villagers. Old man Nguyen Van Toai – 70 years old, the keeper of this bridge said that, in the last few decades, when the roads were built, the Khum bridge did not have much transport value but was still an important spiritual place. of the local people. People around the area still regularly come to the bridge to burn incense to pray for good things, especially on holidays and the full moon. Both a bridge and a place of worship, Khum Bridge makes many people think of the famous Japanese Covered Bridge of Hoi An ancient town.

Worshiping space in a traditional house In a folk house – whether it is a 3-room or 5-room house; the position of the altar is always placed in the nave (the middle house of the house) – the most solemn place. That said the importance of worship in life and its direct relationship with architecture. This commemorative space is a key component in architectural – interior space, in many ways. With such a layout, when entering the main door (the middle door), you can immediately see the altar, the front is usually a counter or a seating table. The direction of the altar is also the direction of the house (mostly south) All in harmony with the architectural space of a traditional house with front porch, courtyard, garden; It is also suitable for the lifestyle and living in villages and communes bearing the mark of agriculture. The worship space in traditional architecture seems to be fading. Urban architecture has many changes, the countryside is strongly urbanized. These changes have a direct impact on this spiritual architectural space. Decorate the worship space in modern houses In modern houses, the nature, structure, and area have changed a lot and are very diverse. Social concepts, needs and living habits also have many changes, people also access to a lot of information and also have many different old and different views and thoughts. Therefore, the arrangement of the worship space is also richer and more diverse. Usually, with the lots (townhouses), the altar is usually placed in a private room. To match both spiritual and living elements, the altar room is the top, bottom-roof room. This is almost the most popular solution, but if the host does not ask, the architects will design the same. The altar placed in a private room feels solemn, discreet, quiet, airy, and if near the terrace, it is even more convenient for outdoor worship, or turning yellow … However, this solution also has the disadvantage that it is difficult to go up to the upper floors – especially for the elderly or causes psychological fear for many young people when going there alone. In apartments, using a room dedicated to worship is very difficult because the rooms are not many. For that reason, many people have tried to draw the worship space closer to the common living space, the hall space – the front room, or other suitable function rooms. The library, office, tea room, and formal living room are suitable places to place an altar. The altar should not be placed in noisy common rooms such as multimedia rooms, sports halls. Also should not place the altar in the bedroom because it is not formal and incense smoke affects the health of the people in the room; in addition, the worship space is negative, so it is not suitable. If the altar room is a separate room, the cabinet / altar system must have an adequate size and form in that space to create a solemnity. There is no need to be too monumental in size but should not be “snug”, small in the room. Altar places located in other spaces such as living rooms, working rooms … need to be designed appropriately in proportion to the size of the room, and correlated with other furniture. In these spaces, cabinets / altars should be designed to be simple, avoid fussy or misleading, or cause a feeling of heaviness and fear. The altar must create reverence while remaining close to family members and other common activities. The materials and colors of the worship space should also be appropriate. It is recommended to use deep colors, preferably dark brown wood. Architectural details – interior (floor tiles, ceilings, lighting …), objects, worshiping objects (incense bowls, candle lamps, flower pots …) should be displayed in the way of posting. In apartment buildings, in the case of the altar cabinets for a certain function room or common space, the altar can be combined with other functions such as decorative cabinets, souvenir cabinets – of course still on suitability for common spaces and other furniture principles. In this cabinet, there should be a separate compartment for related worshiping items such as incense, candles, genealogies … A few other things to note – Avoid placing the altar near strong air intake, causing “dynamic” and possibly blowing ash out of the fire and causing a fire. The altar surface should be placed with a glass to ensure safety. – The altar space must be well ventilated. Do not place the altar too high, making it difficult for worship, nor should it set low too lack of dignity. In the case of hanging altars or high altar cabinets, to ensure the distance to the ceiling is not too small, avoiding smoke and haunting the ceiling. To overcome this, a glass can be mounted above the ceiling – Lighting in the worship room and on the altar should not use white light, but yellow light should be used, causing a warm feeling; Indirect light source, avoid glare such as wall lamp. Lighting arrangements should be posted according to the altar. The design and material of the lamp should also be suitable for the altar and the common space. – The characteristics of the worship space are u President, nostalgia, and prosperity. However, the house belongs to the yang so it is necessary to increase the positive by placing pots, hanging wind linh … Worship is a belief and also a good practice. The altar, the space of worship is the spiritual space, the place of remembrance. It is fear of the connection between the present and the past, between people living together, tightening the solidarity in the family – the clan. It is a place where people can remain calm after the hustle and bustle of life, find spiritual strength and aim for true – good – beautiful values. Worshiping space is indispensable in every house, big or small, rich or poor. But for this space to really make sense, architectural material is not enough. Large worship room; monumental, beautiful, sophisticated church cabinets … are secondary; but more important is the mind, the respect of the owner – the behavior of each person in front of this spiritual space – this remembrance./.

On a small hospital bed, young Pham Tran Le Trieu (born in 2008) is sleeping, despite the hot, sweating weather. And Pham Tran Le Tran (born in 2007), Trieu’s sister cannot sleep, sitting next to her frowning face. With a whisper, Le Tran confided: “ I have not slept well for a long time. The disease caused my child to suffer hand pain and leg pain that could not stand it. Many nights I could not sleep, and I sat holding my hands and feet. Because of that, my mother could not sleep “. Around August 2018, after long, tiring days, Le Tran was diagnosed with end stage chronic kidney failure. I had to quit school halfway to go to Children’s Hospital 2 in Ho Chi Minh City for treatment. During these 3 years, the child was treated according to the method of peritoneal dialysis (peritoneal dialysis). Recently, however, doctors discovered that conventional membranes for children are no longer effective, so they begin to combine more with hemodialysis methods. “ The doctor said that the best method and if the child can recover from the disease, only kidney transplant, but not to mention the donation, the cost for a kidney transplant is up to 600-700 million VND, my husband and I can not handle it. “Tran Hoang Bich Cam choked. In the first two years, after each visit to the hospital for re-examination, medication and infusion, Le Tran will be able to go home. But from March 2020 up to now, the health is too weak, so the child has to be hospitalized continuously for the doctor to monitor. Last Tet, Mrs. Jin’s mother and daughter had to welcome the New Year in the hospital. Because her husband did not have money, he could not visit. Two sisters Le Tran – Le Trieu both suffer from chronic kidney failure, are being monitored and treated at Children’s Hospital 2. Suffering from her daughter being abused by illnesses, Mrs. Jin felt more grief for her young son. Just now, the doctor encouraged her to prepare herself, and her son is about to transition to stage 4 chronic kidney failure. Then there will be a stage where you have to choose between peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis or a kidney transplant. treatment. However, her family has nowhere else to rely on. Cam’s family is from the seaside of Binh Dinh province. Fishing did not bring much income so they decided to move to Phu Yen to build a life. Far from brothers, relatives, there is only one grade-four house and acacia-planted land. Pham Quang Nhat, her husband Cam used to have meningitis and stomach cancer. Due to his weak health, he could not “plow” to make money. Every day, in addition to taking care of the acacia garden, he also takes the opportunity to work as hired labor, but not much. Mrs. Cam is alone in charge of taking care of the child. In order to have money for the treatment of two sisters Le Tran, she and her husband had to quickly sell their 4-year-old acacia garden for 100 million VND. The money quickly dissipated, they planned to sell the house to save their children, but the two sisters Tran disagreed. “ The two children told us that this disease cannot be cured, if the house is sold then where the parents are. Then, when the children no longer have any more, then get somewhere to worship. I heard that my heart ached. Why is my family’s destiny so floating! “, Mrs. Jin sobbed. Not to sell the house, you only have a mortgage to borrow 100 million dong from the bank. In addition, they also borrowed about 50 million from relatives and relatives. But during the past 3 years, all are over. Cam’s eyes were red after crying silently because she loved her child. “ I am nearly 40 years old to give birth to 2 children. Thought God was merciful, who would have expected you to be so miserable. Now I do not know how to manage 7-8 million VND per month to treat my children anymore. May all the philanthropists take care of the family situation in need, save my children! “, Mrs. Jin pleaded. Khanh Hoa Any help please send to:

Besides, on this day, many family members gather together to knead the dough and make cakes to show the spirit of solidarity and mutual support. Perfume, flowers, betel and areca In the worshiping ceremony, no matter how big or small, Vietnamese people are indispensable to compress incense, fresh flowers and betel and areca on the altar. Therefore, on the real Korean New Year, the worshiping tray will also be indispensable for these things. Note, the flowers used to worship must be fresh flowers.

Origin of black soybean noodles Jajangmyeon – jajangmyeon – is an extremely popular dish in Korea. Even so, it originated in the neighboring country – China. Many books and newspapers recorded that the black soy sauce noodles originated from the Chinese zhajiangmian fried noodles in Shandong. In the Joseon era, Korean cuisine has Chinese influences. Later, the Korean people developed noodles, which were changed to suit the taste and national culture. From there, the name jajangmyeon was born. Black noodles – a traditional dish on April 14, Black Valentine’s Day. When entering Korea, the dish is so popular that it is available everywhere in this country, from restaurants, eateries to street food stalls. Black noodles on Valentine’s Day on 14/4 Jajangmyeon Noodles is a diverse combination of ingredients and colors, representing the emotional layers of each person. The black color of the sauce symbolizes empathy for the souls of single people. Therefore, the food is like the message of the FA people to each other, that they will quickly find a suitable match for them. Since then, black soy sauce noodles have become a traditional dish for Black Day – Black Valentine, also known as Korea’s Singles Day. Students in universities in Korea also use this noodle dish as a substitute for lunch, with the concept that “next year will be different”. They also often wear black, enjoying a large bowl of jajangmyeon to show empathy among “lonely souls”.

Floating cakes, vegetarian cakes are offered to the ancestors worshiping committee on the real Korean New Year. Photo: Minh An Floating cake made small balls, outside white, in the red sugar filling, boiled in a pot of boiling water, when the cake floats on the surface, take out the water. And the vegetarian cake is rounded, flat, without filling, put on a small plate, poured sugar water on top. Place on a plate, let it cool, burn incense. Folk conception is that the number of plates, bowls of drifting cakes, and vegetarian cakes to offer is always 5 or 3. People often burn incense as 1-3 or 5 compress incense, not even light. Besides, in the ceremony, no matter how big or small, the Vietnamese people’s worship tray has fresh flowers and betel and areca, and 3 cups of water. On the ancestor altar, depending on the season, depending on the conditions of each house, families also buy 5 more fruits with five different colors representing the five elements. An ancestor tray during the Korean New Year does not need to prepare a “full tray”, but only needs to show filial piety, sincerity and wish for good things. Today, many people also enjoy making the five-color vegetarian floating cakes to offer them to their ancestors. However, according to cultural experts, this is inconsistent with the original and meaning of the Korean holiday. Because the floating cake, the original vegetarian cake is white, the circle is full of expressing the aspiration for the good, full and pure things in life.

Tanna Island in the Republic of Vanuatu (southwest Pacific) is inhabited by a nude tribe that worship Prince Philip as god. For that reason, when he heard that the Duke of Edinburgh died at the age of 99, the people of the tribe were deeply distressed. They decided to hold a funeral for their deceased god for 100 days.

The people of Tanna Island worship Prince Philip like god.

For the next 100 days, people gathered in an empty lot under the old banyan tree to calm down and drink kava (a mildly scented drink made from pepper tree roots) and eat local dishes, including food. pig wrapped in banana leaves cooked in the ground. This is a mandatory part of important tribal rituals.

The nude tribe held Prince Philip’s funeral for 100 days.

In addition, these three months are the time for the leaders of the tribal villages to reflect on who replaced Prince Philip in their spiritual beliefs. Prince Charles, the eldest son of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth, is the brightest “candidate” chosen to become the spiritual leader of the tribe. The naked tribal people hoped that Prince Charles could do something his father had never been able to do – visit the islanders.

Village chief Yaohnanen, Jack Malia, said that mentally Prince Philip had always been a part of villagers’ lives. However, they did not get a chance to meet the Queen’s consort because he had never set foot on Tanna Island. “We never got the chance to meet him face to face. If [Thái tử Charles] Agree to come one day, he has to come down here so we can sit together and talk, ”he said.

The village chief of Yakel, Mr. Albi, affirmed that Prince Philip’s soul had left his body, but still existed and was searching for a new “home”. Mr. Albi also sent encouragement to Queen Elizabeth that, hope she does not grieve too much because even though his body is dead, but the soul is still alive.

Residents of Tanna Island were unaware of the announcement of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh on April 9. They still wake up and wake up early the next morning to harvest sweet potatoes. It was not until the afternoon of April 10 that a woman at a nearby resort received the update. Immediately, the women of the tribe burst into tears, and the men mourned in silence and tried to calm the children.

The tribesmen embraced pictures of Prince Philip in his memory.

They said that even though the Prince’s body was dead, the soul still existed.

“In 2007, we were brought to England. The connection between the people of Tana Island and the British was very strong. We extend our condolences to the royal family and the British people, ”said the village chief Yapa in a video message sent to the British Royal family.

Mary Niere, an accountant at a resort near the nude tribe, revealed that mourning is the island’s traditional custom for people facing great grief, which can last for weeks.

For decades, a tribe of 400 people worshiped Prince Philip as god. They prayed every day hoping he would protect their banana and potato crop. To date, it is not entirely clear why this tribe worship Prince Philip so much, even though he has never visited the island.

According to some sources, tribesmen saw large portraits of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth when they visited Port Vila, Vanuatu, in the 1960s. Impressed when he married a ” white power queen, ”they began to believe that he was the embodiment of a volcanic spirit, one day returning to Tanna.

Prince Philip has never been to Tanna Island, only visiting Vanuatu’s capital, Port Vila.

The last time the Duke of Edinburgh arrived in Vanuatu was during a visit to the capital Port Vila in 1974. At that time, the island nation was an Anglo-French colony, named New Hebrides. During this trip by Prince Philip, the chieftain named Jack Naiva from Tanna and the others did not mind sailing the 240km distance to the capital to welcome their god.

Since then, the Prince’s status in the hearts of the tribal people of Tanna has been strengthened. The Naiva leader firmly believed, His Highness was sent down from heaven to protect the island and bring good luck to the people.

In author Matthew Baylis’ book about Matthew Baylis, tribal residents even speculate, Prince Philip helped Barack Obama become the first black man to be elected President of the United States in 2008. They hailed him maybe. tornado control.

In remote England, Prince Philip was born in awe of the admiration of the Tanna island tribes people for him. Over the years, he sent framed photographs of himself to this nude tribe. These photos are kept in the temple on the island,

Once, the tribe sent Prince Philip a traditional weapon, called nal-nal, used to hunt pigs, and asked him to take pictures with it. Prince Philip accepted the request, but did not forget to complain to his assistant about the strange item before. When it was received in 1980, it is considered sacred and preserved to this day.

Prince Philip’s photo is preserved in the temple.

Prince Philip learned of the existence of the naked tribe and repeatedly sent photos to them.

The tribesmen still longed for Prince Philip to visit once, but now they strongly believe that his soul will come to Tanna. Not only that, they also assured Prince Philip to be black. “If he turns white, it will only happen in other countries,” the leader named Willie Lop announced.

The tribesmen believed that Prince Philip was black, only turning white in another country.
