Delegates and students watch photos on display at the programme.
The students were introduced to the origin of the name "Hoa Binh Culture", Trai hamlet’s cave in Tan Lap commune, and Vanh village’s stone shelter; and watched photos featuring the research, archaeological process and cultural activities related to the relic sites in Lac Son district.
Notably, the stone shelter shows the characteristics of a large relic site in the core area of Hoa Binh Culture in Vietnam. This is evidence of the origin of Hoa Binh Culture in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
It was recognised as a national archaeological site by the Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) in 2003, and as a special national relic site by the Prime Minister in July 2024.
The programme was a meaningful activity to raise awareness and foster love for national culture and traditions among students. It was also an opportunity for them to learn about and remember the historical values and cultural beauty that have contributed to forming the identity of the homeland, thereby joining hands to protect, preserve and promote traditional cultural values.
People of the Muong ethnic group have been residing in Hoa Binh province throughout history. Hoa Binh province is a land of indigenous Muong ethnic people. Over the time, the Muong ethnic group has created and preserved a rich and diverse folk culture, in which there is a prominent and unique genre with profound humanistic values - the Mo Muong. Mo Muong has helped to form and nurture the character and soul of the Muong people as well as the land of Hoa Binh.
