How 5,000 Villages Keep Rare Crafts Alive In Vietnam | Big Business | Business Insider 

I hope I'm not the only one who initially thought those were the most beautiful bushes I'd ever seen.

One amazing thing I love about Vietnam people is that anywhere they find themselves, they do well in businesses, investing relentlessly

I'm Indian. Never knew we import tons of incense from Vietnam. Thankyou Vietnam ❤️

Hello, I'm from Vietnam. We haven't declared officially that lotus is our national flower, even though the flower is very close to our lives, and it also represents things such as beauty in my country. We hope lotus will be recognized as our national flower in future.

I have a silk shirt from Vietnam. FAR superior! Would much rather buy from them. But very rare here in USA. 😔 Would LOVE to get some of that handmade paper!

Those incense sticks look mesmerizing. It’s satisfying to see this whole process of making them.

With all the money available for war, mayhem and destruction we should be able to support these folks in the arts of the centuries! The craftsmanship, pride, experience, and traditions from centuries or millennium of perfection in producing these products is amazing! If the younger generations find more profitable employment, they should less well off individuals to fill in behind the upwardly mobile populations!

I love seeing people make there own stuff and sale it. I love seeing different cultures and customs in the items they make

The incense bundles look gorgeous, almost like flowers

I was doing with it until it came to eating them. As a Veteran of that country I have to say that they are the most resourceful people I have ever meet. I have a lot of respect for them even after I had to fight them for my life. Not just anyone can take a destroyed truck tire and make a pair of shoes. Or a bunch of spent shell casings and make wind chimes and sell it back to the US Soldier. To the Vietnamese People I tip my hat not in victory but as in friendship.

Wonderful to see how many different products are still made by hand! Also nice to follow the process of making them. Pure craftmanship!🙌🏼

Damn, those incent sticks look good. I've been to Vietnam once, beautiful country, fantastic people and delicious food... would love to visit again soon.

He should get in contact with Mexico and export orange colored incense specially in the month leading to "Dia de Muertos". He could strike a new great deal like the one they used to have with India.

Actually her experiences it's not only due to single skill but collection of miniskills which shaped her current ability efficiently and hastily.

Excited to be going to Vietnam for my first time ever this month with my partner who is from there. It’ll be my first time outside of Canada.

Vietnam has so much to offer the world

This is absolutely informative and inspiring. The dedication and passion they have are powerful. We Love Vietnam, from Malaysia.

So dope to see how he pivoted when times got rough. Since Vietnam is such a large coffee grower in the world it would be dope to see a coffee liquor or some sort of coffee based alcohol

Seni seviyoruz Vietnam . Kürdistan'dan selamlar 💕

Kudos to whoever took/created the thumbnail picture, its a beautifully composed photo

Thank you for this lively video. I can't help but feel sad tho that so many younger people are not interested in carrying on the craft traditions. I would about give my left arm to have grown up in a family in which such beautiful traditions are taught. I'm not saying every child in a family business should be expected to do only that craft but our world is in danger of losing so much valuable information and techniques!!!

I admire people who keep traditions going. Without our traditions we are nothing.

Vietnam is excellent in exporting high quality clothings👌🏻

the silk process is really madness, unbelievable how man ever came up with the idea,the amount of work is unbelievable. how do we invent it ..anyway to keep it alive.

I'd love to visit Vietnam again! About a decade ago I got a cheap ticket to Bangkok andwent directly to Vietnam and traveled from north to south over a few weeks stopping in various places. Fantastic country ans culture, and so easy to travel by train with the locals and see the beautiful landscape pass by. (They even have a whole kitchen car where they make hearty meals offered on trolleys!) Socialism has quite clearly meant everything to preserve the culture and create effective infrastructure and prohects like these featured. It's either that or have the entire country ruined by outsources industry, thank god Vietnam made better choices! I saw SO much beauty and met lots of great people everywhere, the only improvement I really hope for is the motorbikes being replaced with electric ones, the transition from bicycles to moto has made the city streets so smogged I lost my voice in only 7 days. I hope the Vietnamese government will take the problem seriously and help find a solution to transition to non fossil fuelled local transportation. Vietnamese cuisine is one of the best in the world! Beautiful hard working people of a unique culture, if you haven't been there you MUST go! Who knows what the future holds. I only wish I could gave experienced it when the streets where quiet, the air clean in cities and everyone bicycled...

Fascinating industries. Some of these look very labor intensive. Much respect for these hard working people.

This explains how so many things are made from start to finish ! Thank you for sharing and filming this old way of creativity for survival. 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

I am glad RU-vid recommended this to me, it’s very satisfying & an interesting watch 😃

I would order every one of these items...minus the big foot chicken. They're beautiful and have such an amazing history

I like the Thi guy. "Well... This isn't working anymore... I could just try and continued... Or I could do market research and figure out how to change with the times."

xem xong cảm thấy bản thân thật hổ thẹn khi mình đã quên mất những thứ này vẫn đang tồn tại

Unless your parents are Vietnamese, You deserve an award for learning how to pronounce it correctly. Its not easy and shows you are earnest, conscientious and respectful. Id say most people dont even try with easy languages , a few might look up the pronouncia n and hope their memory conjours up something slightly resemblant after one hearing.

I simply loved this programming especially the Dragon Chickens, they are beautiful and unique. I didn't know how silk was produced, those worms really can keep a person busy with their appetites. The paper makers must be kept going and the incent farms as well. Please give my most respectful Thank You to all the families that keep the traditions going for the next generation. With Great Respect. Joy Woods.

Great video! Seeing this makes me appreciate handmade things even more

Absolutely incredible to see how things are done and made. Thank you

It would be wonderful idea if they decided to write down the techniques used in the making of this ancient craft for future generations, it might seem preposterous but you never know what might happen in 2 years let alone a century!

As an interdisciplinary-cultural artisan I always find it amazing that "younger generations" don't want to learn/maintain traditional cultural creative forms. Yet they all eventually want to instantly learn artistic skills on RU-vid then call/consider themselves experts. Yeah right... In my youth and even as an Eldress I'd luv to stand at these artisans' elbows to learn a fraction of what they know.

The world can learn from these aged old crafts.

The silkworm thing is so fascinating, I'm obsessed with this lol

vietnam là 1 đất nước thật đẹp

I don't use incense but I love the smell of them burning, it's cool to see how they do that.

So proud of my Vietnam

Grt idea❤️Lets all be grateful for you putting in hardwork into your videos to make us happy

Beautiful to see the traditions of craft villages... would love to see someday here in Saskatchewan, Canada

Thank Insider Bussines team for introducing the craft villages in Vietnam . Hope you can introduce more beautiful craft works in Vietnam . and I wish to introduce my work about making horn products , and Horn Composite bow in Vietnam .Best regards, Pufacraft !

Great video! It's great that traditional crafts and art forms are cherished by some countries so they're not lost. And those chickens were WILD!! tiny dinosaurs you know?? Amazing

Phenomenal episode. Thank you! ❤

Hopefully, governments across the African are watching so thy too can encourage local businesses and entrepreneurs. Get it UNESCO protected.

Beautiful!!! I sincerely hope these arts are never forgotten. It's so very impressive in every form.

Those incense sticks are so beautiful.

Vietnam is such a beautiful country. I want to go one day and visit a plant market. (I can’t buy because TSA would take away the plants at customs upon my return home lol.)

I love this kind of stuff, thank you!

Wow Vietnam is very beautiful in terms if nature.

Amazing stuff I’m intrigued by anything made or produced ancient and traditional methods. I am not a big fan of today’s busy world. I love to imagine living in simple days when life was much simpler with less facilities but fear and tension free time. I do also Those times had their own problems and challenges. I just love to imagine living in that time and compare with my life in current times. This comparison takes one very close to the divine and You surrender trying to understand Divine mysteries of creating this whole drama of creating human life on this earth planet. It’s simply using you energy of curiosity trying to resolve unsolvable mysteries. Amazing!!!

I have a lot if respect for how dedicated are to preserving the craft. When I hear someone has 40 years of experience my mind is blown

Thanks for such a wonderful n lovely video with lots of information n facts 😊😊about Vietnam...their handmade crafts ..wow😊😊❤

Looks like beautiful purple flowers.

I wasn't disappointed.

Fascinating!

In Japan artist crafters like these are designated as Living Masters. They are supported by the government and have apprentise programs. It's sad to see that these artists are left to the ravages o Capitalism. There is continuing need for their products & services. They are not just hangers on from the past whose work is quaint and no longer in the mainstream. And I want to acknowledge the very good work by the videograher and video editor on the inscense segment that runs from 1:08 to 7:17. The solid creativity exhibited by the videographer is maintained by the editor's smooth shot integrety, i.e. the fluidity of the camera movements is utililized to tell the story. A sub par editor would have just grabbed shots making a choppy visual junk pile. I'm sure this high quality is their everyday product. Thanks for the treat. I hope Business Insider can help the included artists connect with officials in Vietnam and global groups to protect them and them thrive.

Nice work for beautiful Vietnam🌺

Amazing work

such amazing content from insider business. i love stuff like this.

Good for him and his people.

Very nice documentary.

vietnam is so industrial

That paper press is awesome..

Che bello......tanti anni fa si faceva anche in Italy 🤗

Local everything is the way of the future

Community is cooperative 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Ah I really would love a journal in that natural paper 😍 looks so smooth and silky

This is so frustrating. These people sacrifice their life to these crafts and earn pennies compared to the retailers. Hopefully one day they can sell directly and cut out the ever greedy middle men. With the internet these are fast becoming options.

wonderful

The chickens are so cool!

Люди Востока, очень трудолюбивы!!!! Им некогда лениться, нужно Жить и Выживать!!!

Трудолюбивый и талантливый народ.

No one is talking about how colonization destroyed many cultural practices like this around the world. Vietnam is beautiful for preserving their traditions while making a living. ❤

I remember learning how to make paper when i was in 4th grade. It was a very cool process

This is just a small detail, but in the "Dó" paper's section, the narrator says "giấy dó paper". "Giấy" is paper in Vietnamese, so technically they said "paper dó paper" XD. You can say it with just "dó paper" or "giấy dó". The closest you can pronounce "giấy" in english is "zay" with "ay" in "day".

It looks like a field of beautiful flowers

I'm very surprised that my country- Vietnam is introduced on famous foreign channel. This video only showed a small part of Vietnamese traditional culture. We have many many amazing stuffs you don't imagine. I hope if you watch video, you should try visiting Vietnam once to see various traditional things in Vietnam. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Thanks for Insider Business with meaningful video for my country

Very neat!! :)

I love these videos, they are so interesting. I hope the younger generation step up and keep these traditions going. Most people in America lack culture, the only thing we pass on is faulty genes and drug addictions.

Amazing Absolutely really 👍💐

beautiful!

Those chickens are so cute. They have cankles!

Not only that but I love the culture❤♥️

Wow such pretty colors

Amazing!!!

I love this
