Architecture Most of Vietnamese architecture was made from wood and materials that easily decay in the tropical climate. In addition, almost all of pre-historical Vietnamese stone architecture has been destroyed in the wars and invasions. Although many pagodas and temples functioning nowadays, were built hundred years ago, have usually been rebuilt and reconstructed, however, with a little concern of making an upgrade structure an exact copy of the original. Numerous architecture remains today are those ancient graves which survive because of the custom of ancestor worship, also, including temples erected in memory of high-ranking mandarins, royal family members and emperors. Memorials for Vietnamese who died in the wars against Chinese, French, and Americans usually contain cement obelisks inscribed with the words to quac qhi cong means 'the county will remember their exploits' and usually built upon empty graves as most Viet Minh and Viet Cong dead were buried where they fell. |
