MY VILLAGE

kilometers away. After class, I often help my mother to collect water from the river and feed the
chickens. At the weekend, the villagers often gather at the community hall where there is a TV. The
adults watch TV, but more often they talk about their farm work and exchange news. The children
run around, playing games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere. My father
sometimes takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our home products like vegetables,
fruits, eggs… He then buys me an ice cream and lets me take a ride on the electric train in the town


square. I love those trips. On starry nights, we children lie on the grass, looking at the sky and

Over the years, Le Mat Village in Long Bien District, Hanoi
has been famous nationwide for not only snake catching and
breeding, but also its unique festival. The festival is annually

held on March 20-24 of the lunar calendar to worship the
village’s tutelary god of the Hoang Family.
Legend told that one day while the daughter of King Ly Thai
Tong (1072-1127) was boating with her maids on the Duong
River, a big snake, which was considered a water monster,
overturned the boat and caught the princess. The crew could do
nothing to protect the princess. But a young man in the Hoang
Family from Le Mat Village dove into the water, fought against
the monster and, in the end, succeeded in killing it and saving
Le Mat Snake Festival
the princess. King Ly Thai Tong was deeply impressed by the
young man’s feat and gave him a reward in gold and court titles.
But the hero graciously rejected the reward and, instead,
requested the King to allow him and a number of poor people to
reclaim land in the areas west of the capital in Thang Long.
When the man passed away, the locals honored him as the
village’s tutelary god and every year organize a festival to
commemorate him.
Le Mat Village Festival consists of many unique rituals and
folk activities, such as the water offering ceremony, the snakekilling dance , one of the ten ancient dances in the imperial
capital of Thang Long and the ritual of catching carp in the
