THE BEGINNING OF TRADITIONAL VIETNAMESE VILLAGES
Traditional villages are linked to Vietnam’s history of construction and defense. Research shows that villages began
to take shape as wet rice cultivation appeared. As people migrated from the mountains to the lowlands to do farming,
they realized the importance of cooperation in getting land, digging irrigation canals, and building dams to prevent
floods – work that couldn’t be done by one individual or one family. Work collaboration resulted in small groups of
families living together which combined to form villages. The establishment of such communities was based on the need
for unity to fight enemies. A nation was formed from many villages. Villages are the smallest units of a society. The
traditional village structure includes a village gate, a communal house, a banyan tree, a river wharf, and an inner village
space containing houses, gardens, and ponds.
