Thi Cam villagers in Tu Liem district, Hanoi on the 8th day of the lunar year (February 10) met at the yard of the village temple in the rice cooking festival. The festival is a tradition of the village. According to historical accounts, in the 18th Hung King dynasty, there were two generals named Phan Tay Nhac and Hoa Dung. When the couple led their troops through the village, many villagers wanted to join. The generals organized a rice cooking festivals to choose the best cooks. After the generals died, they were worshiped as tutelary gods of the village. Since then, villagers have organized the rice cooking festival every year to commemorate them There are four groups competing, with ten members each. After receiving materials from the organizing board, groups have to pound rice and cook rice by straw in earthen pots. The group with the most delicious rice will be declared the winner. The bonus for the winner is minor but it is very meaningful because it will bring luck and prosperity to the winner in the new year.
