 Don Quay village is 25 kilometers from Hanoi. It now belongs to Don Quang commune, Tien Dong's district, Bakneen province. Previously, Don Quay was popularly known for its firecracker festival, organized on the 4th of January according to the lunar calendar. This was a firecracker contest where the participants were big cylinder crackers measuring from 0.5 to 0.8 meters across and 3 to 5 meters long, made of many small firecrackers. The crackers that exploded, all their small firecrackers, were the winner. The festival no doubt evolved from ancient religious rites, begging for thunder, lightning and rain. However, the festival no longer is permitted, since the lighting of firecrackers is prohibited nationwide. Today, Don Quay village is engaged in making carved hardwood furniture in both private and state-run workshops. The craftsmanship is superb. The hardwood used for large pieces of furniture is ebony, iron and lat wood, canary wood. This is used for small light pieces and patterned furniture. The most common pieces are tables, chairs, cupboards and carved beds. Can you explain to us what is happening now in the trade?
