Lang Bian Mountain: A Glimpse into the Holy Realm of the Moi People (circa 1910s) This photograph transports us back in time to the mystical landscape of Lang Bian Mountain in Vietnam, home to the indigenous Moi people. The image features a holy man, believed to be a sorcerer or priest, standing proudly between two Moi chiefs. Both the sorcerer and the chiefs are dressed in traditional attire, preserving their modesty with intricately woven loincloths. Lang Bian Mountain, located in the central highlands of Vietnam, has long been considered a sacred place for the Moi people. The mountain is believed to be the dwelling place of their gods and spirits. The holy man in this photograph is likely a crucial figure in their spiritual life, responsible for communicating with the divine realm and preserving their ancient wisdom. The Moi people, also known as the M'Nong or Mois, are an ethnic group that has lived in the uplands of Vietnam for centuries. Their culture is deeply rooted in the natural world, and they have developed a rich and complex society based on agriculture, hunting, and gathering. The Moi people are known for their resilience and adaptability, having survived the challenges of living in a rugged and mountainous terrain. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the Moi people during the early 1900s, a time when their traditional way of life was beginning to be disrupted by outside influences. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the history and cultural heritage of indigenous communities, and the wisdom and knowledge they hold. The image also highlights the beauty and diversity of Vietnam's rich tapestry of cultures and traditions.
