Sinh village paintings are a type of Vietnamese folk paintings belonging to Lai An village, Phu Mau commune, Hue city, Thua Thien Hue province, about 10 km east of the city center. This is a type of woodblock painting commonly used in the ancient capital of Hue for worship purposes. Sinh village paintings are different from Dong Ho paintings (Bac Ninh), Hang Trong paintings (Hanoi) because their sole function is to serve worship, and after the worship is finished, they are burned.
