Samu roof - A hundred-year heritage in Ky Son

Thanh Phuc - Khanh Ly • DNUM_ADZAFZCACF 06:30

In the villages of Ky Son (Nghe An) covered in clouds all year round, the moss-covered samu wooden roofs still silently embrace the village like quiet songs. Amidst the whirlwind of change, the people and authorities here are carefully preserving each samu roof as if preserving the soul of the mountains and forests.

1 thay — Halfway up the mountain, halfway up the pass, the mossy samu roofs are like quiet accents in the middle of the forest. In the photo: The road to Buoc Mu 2 village (Na Ngoi commune, Ky Son) has the occasional samu-roofed house. Photo: Thanh Phuc

"This house, this samu roof, has been there since my grandfather's and father's generation. It's been there for hundreds of years. The samu roof is like a close friend, witnessing many generations of people in this house" - Mr. Lau Y Ia (96 years old, Huoi Giang 1 village, Tay Son commune) said. Photo: Thanh Phuc

samu 21 — Up to now, the whole Ky Son district has nearly 100 samu-roofed houses. Of which, the most concentrated are in Tay Son commune. Mr. Vu Ba Re - Vice Chairman of Tay Son Commune People's Committee said: "Tay Son has 6 villages, 100% of which are inhabited by Mong people. Currently, people still preserve 85% of the traditional house structure. However, over time, many houses hundreds of years old, roofed with samu wood are at risk of being lost due to many factors. We hope that specialized agencies will have a plan to support people in preserving traditional houses in the commune, to maintain the architecture of Mong houses, and at the same time serve tourism".

Besides households using cold corrugated iron and baked tiles for convenience, there are people who still try their best to preserve the old houses, as if to preserve the memories of the village. In the photo: Due to being too old, the samu wood panels are cracked and leaking, so Vu Ba Phu's family has to use clear plastic sheets to cover the bottom of the samu wood panels. Photo: Khanh Ly
