TPO - It's almost a month until the Mid-Autumn Festival, but toys are already on sale at many souvenir shops, with traditional handmade toys dominating the market.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is still nearly a month away, but the streets of Hang Ma, Hang Luoc, Hang Ngang... have been crowded with people coming to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival early these past few days. |
The shops here are filled with the red color of Mid-Autumn Festival toys. Among them, traditional Mid-Autumn Festival toys such as lanterns, star lanterns, papier-mâché masks, lion heads, etc. are displayed in many visible locations. |
According to traders, in recent years, modern toys have not been popular, but instead, traditional toys, imbued with the spirit of the old Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festival, have been popular. Following the trend of looking back to the old, reminiscing about the beauty of ancient culture, traditional toys have once again been "awakened". |
Most of the stalls devote most of their space to displaying traditional Mid-Autumn toys in eye-catching colors such as red, yellow, orange... |
Mid-Autumn Festival cannot be without toys such as star lanterns, masks, lanterns, drums... |
Mr. Hung (27 years old, Ha Dong) said that he took advantage of his free time in the evening to take his wife and children to Hang Ma Street to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival early. At the same time, he also bought Mid-Autumn Festival toys for his children. He said that his family will choose traditional toys for their children with the hope that they will be exposed to and understand more about Vietnamese culture. |
Many parents seek out these traditional toys with the hope that their children will study well, grow up to be successful, and do things that are useful to society. Partly, they also want their children to experience the traditional toys that have been part of their childhood. |
Not only do they look attractive, these toys are also very affordable. "Instead of spending 200,000 VND to buy a battery-operated plastic lantern, I can spend that 200,000 VND to buy many traditional toys such as to he figurines, star lanterns, masks, etc. The material value remains the same, but I find the spiritual value is much greater, and more than that, it also helps the work of many domestic workers," Ms. Vu Kim Ngan shared. |
Traditional toys only cost from 40,000 to 70,000 VND each, so they are very popular. Star lanterns are sold for between 10,000 and 70,000 VND each, depending on size. |
The toys are made smaller than normal sizes to make them both easier to hold and more affordable for the buyer. |
The lantern style that "made waves" during last year's Mid-Autumn Festival is also widely sold in stores. |
Many eye-catching traditional toys in small sizes are available in many stores. |
