[Photo] Ao Ba Ba - The beauty of female guerrillas in the resistance war

The Ao Ba Ba is the traditional costume of the people of the Southwest region. The Ao Ba Ba in the past not only brought comfort and convenience but also expressed the patriotism and bravery of the female guerrillas of the South.

The old Ao Ba Ba was designed simply with two panels, a round or standing collar, and buttons along the front; the Ao Ba Ba combined with a checkered scarf and a floppy hat was an easily recognizable characteristic of female guerrillas.

In recent years, in military exercises of Military Region 9, units and localities often recreate the image of female guerrillas rowing boats to carry ammunition and treat wounded soldiers...

This method not only honors the great contributions of mothers and sisters in the resistance war but also propagates to future generations the beauty and cultural value of the Ao Ba Ba.

The old Ao Ba Ba is not only a symbol of the simplicity and rusticity of the people of the Southwest region but also the costume associated with the image of resilient female guerrillas in the resistance war.

Female guerrillas bring officers and soldiers back to base.

Female guerrillas always knew the area well so they played a very important role in transporting troops.

The image of a strong and loyal Western woman is always associated with three inseparable items: a conical hat, a checkered scarf and a traditional Vietnamese dress.

The Ao Ba Ba was worn by female guerrillas disguised as vendors to fool the enemy during combat...

The cultural significance of the old Ao Ba Ba is not only in its convenience but also in representing the culture and life of the people in the river delta.

For women, the Ao Ba Ba not only enhances simple beauty but also shows grace and modesty.
