Abstract

Hung Lo temple is one of the large temples with historical and artistic value for a long time in Viet Tri City, Phu Tho province. Here, carving techniques, as well as color painting on wooden planks, are considered as the soul of the ancient temple dating back to 1697 (late 17th century). Unlike temples in the whole province, Hung Lo temple, besides the use of decorative motifs of nature and mascot animals for decoration, the use of human scenes in festive occasions, dance, folk themes, villages are carved mainly on the kẻ, cốn and đầu dư as a theme throughout, contributing to shaping a pure Vietnamese decoration style for the temple, creating a distinctive and diverse beauty in Vietnamese folk decoration art.
