A special music show titled "The country is in the fullness of joy” has been held at Hoa Binh Square in Hoa Binh city in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification (April 30, 1975–2025).
The special music show, marking the 50thanniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification, leaves
special impression on the audience.
Following the flag saluting ceremony, Secretary of the Hoa Binh
provincial Party Committee Nguyen Phi Long delivered a speech highlighting the
great sacrifices by former generations that contributed to the ultimate
victory.
At the April 26 event, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung presented
the second-class Labour Order to the officials and people of Hoa Binh city.
He expressed his belief that the Party organisation, administration,
armed forces, and people of Hoa Binh province will remain united, dynamic, and
creative to surmount difficulties and challenges, make breakthroughs, and
successfully carry out the set tasks and targets, thus joining hands with the
entire country to create a solid stepping stone for advancing to a new era –
that of the nation’s rise, development, and prosperity.
Among the three parts of the meticulously designed music show, the
first recalled the hard but heroic years of war, the second depicted the full
joy of victory when the country was reunified, and the third demonstrated
Vietnam’s aspirations for reaching new heights.
The programme helped tens of thousands of spectators relive the
historic moment of victory. The echoing sound of Muong gongs, immortal songs,
and fireworks lighting up the sky left an unforgettable impression on the
audience, helping them connect with the past to understand more deeply the
value of today’s freedom and brighten up the future.
The clothing of women reflects the culture of the Muong, Thai, Tay, Dao, and Mong ethnic groups in the northern province of Hoa Binh.
Gongs hold a special place in the cultural and spiritual life of the Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh province. More than musical instruments, they are an indispensable part of community rituals and collective memory, echoing through generations as a spiritual thread linking the past, present, and future.
Preserving and promoting the cultural values of the Muong ethnic group has become an urgent task in the current context, as many traditional values face the risk of fading away. This effort requires not only protecting the cultural identity but also eliminating outdated customs and developing a modern cultural lifestyle, contributing to sustainable values for the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.
The Muong ethnic culture, deeply rooted in Vietnam’s mountainous north, continues to be preserved and revitalised by dedicated individuals and communities determined to safeguard their ancestral identity.
The Muong group is one of the largest ethnic minorities in Vietnam, primarily found in Hoa Binh province. The Muong people in Hoa Binh boast a rich and diverse cultural treasure that reflects the unique identity of this ethnic group. Accounting for over 63% of the province's population, they have created and preserved numerous distinctive cultural values, contributing to their unique identity. Their cultural heritage is an invaluable asset, at the heart of their national identity, and represents a vibrant spiritual life that must be preserved and promoted in today’s modern world.
For generations, the ethnic communities of Hoa Binh province, particularly the Muong people, have preserved vibrant festivals deeply intertwined with the region’s geography, nature, and social traditions. These celebrations enrich Hoa Binh’s spiritual life and cultural identity, reflecting both folk beliefs and the intermingling of ethnic customs. Many of these festivals have endured the test of time, passed down through generations and continuing to thrive today. Among them, the Khai Ha (Going Down to the Field) festival stands out as one of the most significant events of the Muong ethnic group.
