Tenant Farmers' Gift, Vĩnh Yên, 1920 - admin - 21-02-2025

After the ceremony honoring the God of Agriculture (Thần Nông), a group of tenant farmers brought food as a gift to their landowning landlord (Bà Địa chủ). These tenant farmers were landless peasants who worked the landlord's fields. Every year, in addition to paying taxes to the government, they also paid rent (tô) to the landlord.

The photograph was taken in what was then Vĩnh Yên Province in 1920.
