Vietnamese folk paintings in general and four-panel paintings in particular are precious spiritual products of our ancestors. Since ancient times, our people have had the custom of playing with paintings, especially during the Tet holiday.
This is also an elegant hobby of the ancient Vietnamese. The four-panel painting is a set of four paintings, often with metaphorical implications that carry many meanings such as representing four stages in a year, life, or a story.
Through exhibitions and experiences, Hai Duong Provincial Museum hopes to help the public, especially the young generation, better understand the value and meaning of the nation's traditional New Year.
The exhibition will run until February 15, 2025.
