The rice houses in Mang Den

Hi dear Hivers in Pinmapple community, in this video, I would like to introduce you about the rice houses of Xo Dang ethnic minority in Mang Den.
One of the typical cultural beauties of the Xo Dang ethnic minority in Mang Den is the rice houses.
The rice houses are small houses on stilts built centrally and separately from the village in a carefully chosen location, they are usually built at the edge of the forest and near rice fields.
The Xo Dang people only grow one rice crop a year. Once harvested, the rice is not brought back to the village but stored in these rice houses.
The purpose of making these rice houses is to avoid loss of rice due to fire, birds and rats to secure food and seed for the next rice season.
The rice houses also show the villagers' respect for the gods for giving them food and health.

Thank you very much for spending time watching my video. Wish you a nice day.
