Artisans of Thanh Lieu woodblock printing village introduced woodblock printing to a large number of people and tourists at the Yen Tu Spring Festival 2025.
On the morning of February 7, at Truc Lam Yen Tu Cultural Center, Thuong Yen Cong Commune, Uong Bi City (Quang Ninh), the Yen Tu Spring Festival 2025 opened. Artisans from Thanh Lieu woodblock printing village (Tan Hung Ward, Hai Duong City) organized an exhibition to introduce and experience woodblock printing here.
This is the first time the village's artisans have introduced their products and demonstrated woodblock printing techniques during the Yen Tu Spring Festival.
At the exhibition, people can see woodblocks carved with Buddhist patterns and motifs; paintings depicting the Three Patriarchs of the Truc Lam Zen sect, including: First Patriarch - King, Buddha Emperor Tran Nhan Tong (1258 - 1308), Second Patriarch - Zen Master Phap Loa (1284 - 1330) and Third Patriarch Huyen Quang Zen Master (1254 - 1334). In particular, for the first time, Thanh Lieu artisans introduced the woodblocks of the painting set "Truc Lam Dai Si Xuat Son Do" and the set of engravings of the book introducing "Truc Lam Dai Si"...
In addition, the artisans also introduced to the public the woodblock printing process from design to production; the project to restore and publish the book "Truc Lam Dai Si Xuat Son Do", recreating some classic works of the Truc Lam Zen sect.
The public can directly experience the woodblock printing process from placing paper, rolling ink to printing the finished product. Thanh Lieu artisans directly guide people to carve and print woodblocks by hand to gain a deeper understanding of the art of making and printing that has been around for nearly 600 years in Hai Duong.
In 2025, the Yen Tu Spring Festival will be held in a more special way, recreating an ancient spring festival imbued with traditional features, with the contribution of a woodblock exhibition by artisans from Thanh Lieu craft village of Hai Duong.
This is a meaningful activity to help spread the famous woodblock carving craft of Hai Duong to the public, especially foreign tourists visiting Yen Tu. This is also part of the "Thanh Lieu Imprint" Project, preserving, promoting and creating from Thanh Lieu woodblock art by the artisans of Thanh Lieu village.
