Worship ceremony for all-craft ancestors

Present at the ceremony were Quang Nam leaders and over 400 traditional craft villages and establishments in Quang Nam.

Everyone has at least one profession in life that provides a legitimate income. Over time, people have preserved and developed traditional crafts while creating new ones. It's difficult to count all the professions, so our ancestors collectively referred to them as ‘bách nghệ’ (a hundred crafts).

In line with the tradition of 'when you eat a fruit, think of the man who planted the tree,' the Quang Nam Handicraft Association, representing all craft sectors in the province, held the worship ceremony for all-craft ancestors at the Quang Nam Traditional Crafts Festival 2024.

The worship ceremony began with the procession of the ancestral tablet from the sacred space to the main stage, led by a pair of dragon and lion dancers and representatives from 40 craft villages and traditional establishments.

The worship ceremony aimed to honour and express gratitude to the ancestors who created, developed, and preserved the traditional crafts in Quang Nam. At the same time, the ceremony prayed for favourable weather and success for the crafts in Quang Nam.
