Exciting “Fish Trap Baskets on the Sand”

HNN.VN - “Vai nom tren cat” (Fish Trap Baskets on the Sand) or “Vai chai tren cat” (Fishing Nets on the Sand) is one of the activities staged by residents of Thuan An from the familiar movements of traditional fishing work. During every festival season in this coastal area, “Vai nom tren cat” becomes a vibrant source of spiritual and cultural enjoyment for local people and visitors alike.

More than just a simple folk game, “Vai nom tren cat” is also a vivid part of the fishing village’s collective memory, where folk culture and real-life livelihoods naturally blend together. It is also a way for older generations in the village to nurture within younger people a sense of attachment to the sea and respect for the generations who have protected both the sea and their homeland.

With the hope of connecting and spreading that sacred pride, this issue of Hue Today Weekly would like to introduce readers to photo scenes from a “Vai nom tren cat” performance in Thuan An, captured by Duc Quang, a coastal native.
