Reconstruction Study on the Traditional Architectural Lacquer Painting Technique for the Imperial Palace of Hue, Vietnam as Seen Trough of the Han Nom Documents in the Nguyen Dynasty

A reconstruction study of traditional lacquer painting techniques for the Imperial Palace of Hué, Vietnam, reveals distinct characteristics of Nguyen Dynasty architecture as documented in Han Nom texts. The research clarifies and categorizes the dynasty's lacquer painting methods, materials, restoration practices, and production systems through historiographical analysis. This approach provides valuable insights into the cultural and technical heritage of one of Southeast Asia's ancient capital cities, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1993.
