HOI AN, Vietnam - I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua lilo ke kūlanakauhale kahiko o Hoi An, aia ma kahi o 650 km hema o Hanoi, i kēia manawa i lilo i wahi punahele punahele ma Vietnam. ʻO Hoi An, ka mea ma mua he awa kālepa honua ma waena o ka ʻāina ʻo Quang Nam o Vietnam, ua mālama maikaʻi ʻia nā hale kūkulu hale kahiko, nā luakini, nā pagodas, a me nā hale ʻē aʻe i kūkulu ʻia mai ka 15 a hiki i ke kenekulia 19. I ka makahiki 1999, ua ʻike ʻia ke kūlanakauhale kahiko he kahua hoʻoilina honua e United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
ʻO nā hale i loaʻa ma Hoi An, ka mea i hana nui ʻia i ka lāʻau me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hoʻolālā Vietnamese kuʻuna i hui pū ʻia me nā mea mai nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, ua kū i ka hoʻāʻo o ka manawa. Kaulana nō hoʻi ke kūlanakauhale no kāna mau kāmaʻa i hana ʻia a me nā kāmaʻa. "Ke kūʻai aku nei kaʻu hale kūʻai i nā kāmaʻa he nui a hiki iā mākou ke hana i nā ʻano hiʻohiʻona like ʻole o nā kāmaʻa i hana ʻia i makemake ʻia e kā mākou mea kūʻai aku, me ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi ʻē aʻe e kūʻai," i haʻi aku ai kahi mea kūʻai ma Hoi An iā Xinhua.
ʻO ka mea nona ka hale kūʻai, he mea hana kāmaʻa kahiko no nā makahiki he 10 i hala, ua ʻōlelo ʻo kāna mea kūʻai aku he poʻe mākaʻikaʻi mai Pelekane, Farani, Australia, a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
ʻO ka hana ʻana i nā kāmaʻa aia wale nō ma waena o nā ʻoihana like ʻole ma Hoi An, i manaʻo ʻia i kēia manawa he paradaiso o nā mea kūʻai aku ma muli o kāna mau huahana kiʻekiʻe akā ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa.
Wahi a ka poʻe kahiko ma ʻaneʻi, ʻo ka poʻe kālepa a me ka poʻe hana lima Pākē a me Iapana i hele mai i Hoi An i ke kenekulia 18 a ua noho paʻa kekahi o lākou ma ke kūlanakauhale.
Ma waena o nā hale ma Hoi An e loaʻa ana i nā mana Pākē a me Iapana, ʻo ia nā luakini Kina a me nā hale hālāwai a me kahi alahaka uhi Kepani i kapa ʻia ʻo "Japanese Bridge."
ʻO nā keʻena hui nā wahi kahi i hoʻohana ai ka poʻe haole Kina e launa pū a mālama i nā hālāwai. ʻElima mau hale hālāwai ma Hoi An i kūkulu ʻia e nā hui malihini Kina, ʻo ia ka Fujian Assembly Hall, Qiongfu Assembly Hall, Chaozhou Assembly Hall, Guang Zhao Assembly Hall, a me Chinese Assembly Hall.
ʻO ka mea maʻamau, ʻo nā hale hālāwai ma Hoi An he puka nui, kahi māla nani me nā mea kanu hoʻonaninani, kahi keʻena nui a me kahi lumi kuahu nui. Eia nō naʻe, no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka manaʻoʻiʻo o kēlā me kēia kaiāulu Kina, hoʻomana nā hale hālāwai ʻokoʻa i nā akua a me nā akua wahine like ʻole.
ʻO ke alahaka Iapana, i kūkulu ʻia i ke kenekulia 17, ʻo ia ka hale kaulana loa i kūkulu ʻia e Iapana i kēia manawa ma Hoi An. Ua koho ʻia ʻo ia i hōʻailona o Hoi An.
He poʻo ka hale o ke alahaka i kālai ʻia me nā kiʻi nani he nui. Ua kiaʻi ʻia nā ʻīpuka ʻelua o ke alahaka e nā monkey ma kekahi ʻaoʻao a me nā ʻīlio ma kekahi ʻaoʻao.
Wahi a ka moʻolelo, ua noho kekahi monster nui ma India kona poʻo, ʻo kona huelo ma Iapana a me kona kino ma Vietnam. I nā manawa a pau e neʻe ai ka monster, hiki mai ka pōʻino weliweli e like me ke kai a me ke olai ma nā ʻāina ʻekolu. No laila, ma waho aʻe o ka lawe ʻana i nā waiwai a me nā kānaka, ua hoʻohana pū ʻia ke alahaka e hoʻokuke aku i ka monster e mālama i ka maluhia a me ka palekana o ke kūlanakauhale.
Ma waho aʻe o kāna waiwai moʻomeheu a me ka mōʻaukala, kahi mea hoihoi nui ma Hoi An e hoʻolilo iā ia i "paradaiso o nā mea kūʻai aku" ʻo ia kona mau humuhumu. He mau haneli humuhumu lole ma ke kaona i mākaukau e hana i nā ʻano lole like ʻole.
Ua kaulana ʻo Hoi An no kāna mau kukui hana lima. Hōʻike ʻia nā kukui ma kēlā me kēia kihi o ke kaona kahiko ʻaʻole ma nā hale wale nō.
Hoʻokahi manawa i ka mahina, i ka mahina piha, hoʻopau ke kūlanakauhale kahiko i kāna mau kukui alanui a me nā kukui ʻulaʻula a hoʻololi ʻia i kahi moʻolelo moʻolelo Meka me ka ʻālohilohi o nā kukui i hana ʻia i ke kilika, aniani a me ka pepa, e hoʻolei ana i ka nani kupanaha ʻaʻole e pau. e hoohoka i na malihini.
