This is the result of a doctoral thesis of Nguyen Cong Thao, from an ecological anthropological perspective, completed at the Department of Anthropology, University of Hawaii, USA. This book is about a village in Dong Anh district - Hanoi, where Thao was born and made a deep impression in Thao both on landscape and people. Nguyen Cong Thao's research explores the social space of a specific village and focuses on three main manifestations: The physical structure of the village (spatial architecture of the village, houses and gardens); Production and community spaces (village markets, ponds and village wells); Sacred spaces (temples, pagodas, shrines and areas with theophany). The beauty of this study is that it recognizes the farmer's living space in a dialectical relationship of the three factors> The absence or loss of any element in this space will also hurt the people in the village, especially the elderly, who often live with historical nostalgia.
