Dong Ho Paintings

Dong Ho Painting has produced hundreds of famous works such as the romantic and humorous "Catching coconuts", "Teacher" which captures old educational practice and "Jealousy scene" satirizing the polygamous system. But the most famous ones are the pictures of pigs with Ying and Yang circles on the bodies. People in the countryside used to buy Dong Ho pictures for decoration during Tet.

In the past, December was the month households started to produce pictures for Tet. Dong Ho pictures were sold at most rural markets. Those who went shopping for Tet never failed to bring home several Dong Ho pictures, believing they would bring good luck.
