10. Summary of thesis results:
Thesis with the name "The profession of making banh chung in Bo Dau village, Co Lung commune, Phu Luong district, Thai Nguyen province”. This is the first serious study on a banh chung craft village in Thai Nguyen province. In the traditional culture of the Vietnamese, banh chung is not only a common material cake used for eating, but it also plays an important role in spiritual culture - it is an object of worship during holidays such as: Hung King festival, Thanh Minh festival, May 5th.... Therefore, banh chung has entered the lives of the people as a sacred symbol of the nation, for community solidarity, for ancestor worship, and the culinary culture of the Vietnamese people related to agricultural civilization. Until now, banh chung has not been considered a handicraft by the Vietnamese people, because no village has been able to turn a type of culture into a commodity to generate income to support agriculture. In recent years, along with a number of other banh chung craft villages in the Northern region, Bo Dau village has begun to make banh chung since the 70s of the 20th century. Bo Dau village used to be is a purely agricultural village, but with the flexibility of the people and the favorable location, some villagers have cleverly turned banh chung into a valuable commodity. From one or two households, Bo Dau village now has more than 80 households that have switched from farming to producing and trading banh chung.
Developed for nearly 40 years, the banh chung craft has contributed significantly to changing the face of people's lives in the village. The income of those who make the craft and those affected by the craft village has increased 3-4 times compared to those who make the craft village. It has affected the change in the economic structure of the village and in households. Accordingly, the number of households doing agriculture has decreased, the number of households doing handicrafts and services has increased. The structure of agricultural labor in households has also changed, such as: the number of workers switching to business and banh chung production has also increased. The division of labor has also been clearly implemented in the craft village, with the role of women in developing and maintaining the banh chung craft in the village standing out. The infrastructure system such as electricity, roads, schools, stations, and houses has been built to be worthy of a village that is gradually urbanizing. Currently, the development of the banh chung making profession of Bo Dau in particular and banh chung craft villages in the North in general has contributed to the preservation and promotion of the nation's culture.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
My thesis is“Making Chung cake in Bo Dau village, Co Lung Commune, Phu Luong district, Thai Nguyen Province”.This is the first and serious research about Chung Cake village in Thai Nguyen province. In the traditional culture of Vietnamese people, Chung cakes is not only a common cake to eat, but it also plays an important role in the spiritual culture - which is a type of cake for worshiping in the occasions of festivals, ceremonies or Tet holoday such as Hung Vuong Festival, Tet Thanh Minh Day and so on. Therefore, Chung cake has existed in the life of Vietnamese people as a sacred symbol of the nation for community solidarity, ancestor worship and Vietnamese cuisine culture related to agricultural civilization. Until now, Vietnamese people still do not consider making Chung cake as a handicraft because no village can turn it into a kind of goods to earn money. In recent years, together with some Chung cake villages in the north of Vietnam, Bo Dau village has begun making Chung cake since the 1970s of the 20th century. In the past, Bo Dau village was a pure agricultural village. However, with the flexibility of people and knowing how to take advantage of the convinient position of this place, they turned Chung cake into a kind of valuable goods cleverly. Before, there were just one or two household making Chung cake. But now there are more than 80 household shifting from husbandry to making and trading Chung cake.
In addition, with the development of nearly 40 years, making Chung cake has contributed significantly to the change of the people's lives in Bo Dau village. The incomes of Chung Cake makers and people affected by Chung cake village are 3- 4 times higher than in agriculture. Making Chung cake has many impacts on the change of the economic structure and households in the village. Developed, the number of agricultural household items reduces and the number of household appliances engaged in handicrafts and services increases significantly. Also, the number of labors in the household engaging in the agriculture also changed. For example, many of households have switched to making and trading Chung cake. The division of labor was also made clear with the woman's role in developing and maintaining the craft of making Chung cake. Infrastructure systems such as electricity, roads, schools, stations, and houses are built beautifully, deserving with a gradually urbanized village. Currently, the development of making Chung cake in the Bo Dau village in particular and many other Chung cake villages in the North in general has contributed to the preservation and promotion of national culture.
