Using materials such as sedge fibers, jute twine, and weaving looms, the women here have woven durable and beautiful mats, creating the distinctive brand of C\u00e0 Mau mats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From sedge plants growing wild on marshlands, the people of C\u00e0 Mau have woven sturdy and beautiful mats with patterns created directly by dyed sedge fibers, rather than printed like some mats from other regions. From this, the C\u00e0 Mau mat-weaving craft village was formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weaving and plaiting mats from sedge plants is a handicraft industry with great potential in C\u00e0 Mau, thanks to its available workforce and abundant local raw materials. Almost every household here owns at least one or two looms. Although the mat-weaving trade has experienced many ups and downs and involves hard work, the people of T\u00e2n Th\u00e0nh\u2014following a craft passed down from generation to generation\u2014remain diligent in preserving and developing this traditional village craft. Each year, households here produce millions of products that are distributed throughout the Mekong Delta and the Southeastern region of Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Mrs. Ch\u00e2u Th\u1ecb Ni\u1ec7m, an artisan who has practiced mat weaving for 72 years, the C\u00e0 Mau mat-weaving craft was formed hundreds of years ago. It originated from abroad and was introduced to southern Vietnam around the 15th century, during the reign of King L\u00ea Th\u00e1nh T\u00f4ng after his victory over Champa. Although at times it faced fierce competition from imported nylon mats, C\u00e0 Mau mats have continued to quietly endure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-text-align-right\">Source: Kh\u00e1m Ph\u00e1 VN<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mats have always been closely associated with the lives of Vietnamese people, and Vietnam has many famous mat-weaving craft villages, with C\u00e0 Mau being one of the provinces that is home to many representative mat-weaving villages.
