Village, or "làng", is a basis of [[Vietnam]] society. Vietnam's village is the typical symbol{{Citation needed|date=May 2009}} of Asian agricultural production. Vietnam's village typically contains: a village gate, "lũy tre" (bamboo hedges), "đình làng" (communal house) where "thành hoàng" ([[tutelary deity|tutelary god]]) is worshiped, a common well, "đồng lúa" ([[rice]] field), "chùa" (temple) and houses of all families in the village. All the people in Vietnam's villages usually have a blood relationship. They are [[farmer]]s who grow rice and have the same traditional [[handicraft]]. Vietnam's villages have an important role in society (Vietnamese saying: "Custom rules the law" -"Phép vua thua lệ làng" [literally: the king's law yields to village customs]). It is common for Vietnamese villagers to prefer to be buried in their village upon death.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}
