Three kinds of traditional devices for threshing rice grains in Vietnam are described on the basis of field surveys conducted in 1998. The loong, a device constructed of wood boards and bamboo nets, shaped like a boat, is often used by the Tai people in Cao Bang, Lang Son and Bac Giang provinces. In Cao Bang and Lang Son provinces, the square loong constructed of wood board only, resembling the dadou in China, is predominantly used by the Nung people. The nong which is made of bamboo and rattan, like a flat basket, is used by the Muong people in Hoa Binh province. These devices are convenient for threshing in the rice cultivar with in an easy-seed-shattering habit. The cultural significance of the recent introduction of a foot thresher, may tout lua, from China into northeastern Vietnam is discussed in relation to its conflicting nature with traditional methods.
