This paper offers a brief introduction to Vietnamese folk paintings. The discussion compares Vietnamese folk paintings with the Korean folk painting tradition. Among the main purposes of this paper is the exploration of directions for future research on Vietnamese folk paintings. Vietnamese folk paintings, although extensively influenced by their Chinese tradition of minjian nianhua (folk New Year pictures), form an independent tradition, reflecting the local lifestyle and religious practices of Vietnam. However, compared to Korea or Japan, China remains the dominant source of influence for Vietnamese folk paintings. They were either created using a combination of painting and woodblock printing techniques, which was also the case with minjian nianhua, or using multicolor woodblock printing techniques. In cities like Hang Chong, the combination of painting and woodblock printing techniques was used mainly, following the customary practice in Yangliuqing in Tianjin, China, in which colors were added to the drawing printed from the woodblock. Meanwhile, folk paintings produced in rural areas such as Dong Ho are wholly color woodblock prints, similar to minjian nianhua from Yangjiabu in Weifang. In Lang Sinh, simple drawings, intended for casual purposes, were also created using the combination of woodblock printing and painting techniques. Folk paintings produced in cities and rural areas were distinct from each other, not just in techniques, but also in terms of style and theme. Vietnamese folk paintings show a certain degree of thematic similarity with Joseon folk paintings. This is mainly due to the fact that the two countries' folk paintings developed and evolved in parallel with their Chinese counterparts, minjian nianhua. Also noteworthy is the fact that Vietnamese folk paintings, while they share the simplicity and candidness of Joseon folk paintings, are at the same time somewhat more decorative than the latter. For best results, future research on Vietnamese folk paintings should be conducted together with research on minjian nianhua. Traditional pigments constitute an important area of research in this field. Attention should be also paid to the religious paintings of ethnic minorities in Vietnam, as they are discovered in the future.

문신은 인류에게 오랫동안 전승되어온 문화 형태다. 인류의 여러 문화권에서 전승되고 발전해온 전통적인 문신 풍습은 역사, 예술, 사회, 등 다양한 분야에서 학술적으로 중요한 연구 가치를 가진다. 두룽족은 중국 남서부 윈난(雲南)성과 근처 지역에 사는 소수 민족 중 하나로 안면문신을 위주로 하는 '얼굴문신(文面)' 풍습을 가지고 있다. 중화인민공화국이 성립된 1949년 전까지도 원시사회 형태를 유지한 두룽족의 전통적 문화는 문자가 없는 구전(口傳)의 형태로 전해 졌으나 두룽족의 신비로운 문신문화에 대한 보존자료가 없어 연구의 필요성이 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구는 근현대 문헌과 윈난성 지역 현장 탐사 두 가지 방법으로 수행되었다. 얼굴문신 풍습의 정확한 이유와 시기는 알 수 없으나 1966년 중국 문화 대혁명으로 금지되어서야 사라지게 되었다. 얼굴문신의 상징과 기능에 대해서는 현지 탐사과 근현대 학자들의 연구를 통해 크게 신앙숭배, 성년 의례, 심미 장식, 민족 사회 역사의 4가지로 나눌 수 있으며 문신을 하는 시기는 7~8세 부터이다. 얼굴문신은 지역에 따라 상류 여성은 비교적 복잡한 도안으로 구성되었으며, 하류 여성은 간단한 도안으로 구성되었다. 문신은 주로 친족이 시술하며 주로 대나무 꼬챙이와 솥바닥에서 추출한 회즙 재를 재료로 사용한다. 현재 두룽족의 얼굴문신을 한 여성은 25명 미만으로, 대부분 고령화되어 있어 수십 년 안에 모두 사라질 것으로 보인다. 따라서 두룽족의 독특한 얼굴문신 문화에 대한 문서화가 시급하다.

Background: Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer in Malaysia. The prognosis of the disease is excellent if detected at an early stage, but the majority of Malaysian patients present at late stages. We aimed to assess the awareness of cancer warning signs and anticipated delay in help-seeking as possible contributors to this phenomenon. Materials and Methods: A population-based cross-sectional survey using the Colorectal Cancer Awareness Measure was initiated in Perak, Malaysia. A total of 2,379 respondents aged 18 years and above were recruited using a multi-stage sampling in five locations. Analysis of covariance was used to examine independent sociodemographic predictors of scores for symptom awareness. Results: Younger age, being female, a higher education, and higher income were significantly associated with better scores for both recall and recognition of warning symptoms. Among the ethnic groups, Malays had better recognition of symptoms whereas Chinese recalled the most symptoms. Passing bloody stool was associated with the least anticipated delay and unexplained anal pain had the highest anticipated delay. Conclusions: The level of awareness across all ethnicities in Malaysia is generally low, especially among minorities. Targeted public education, which is culturally and linguistically appropriate, should be developed to encourage early help-seeking and improve clinical outcomes.
