Mr. Vong said: "In 2008, I took part in the research "Traditional
Muong cultural identity and trends of current transformation” and contributed
to the topic "Traditional Muong weaving and trends of current transformation”.
In 2012, I also participated in the topic: "Techniques of performing Mo Muong
and sorting its types through the artistic view of performance”. This is the
topic at Ministry level about the art of performing Mo Muong launched by the
Institute of Cultural Studies under the administration of Vietnam Academy of

Looking at the list of the researches, studies and topics he has
done, is doing and intends to do, he should be received admirations and
appreciation when this man has worked tirelessly for high and meaningful
purposes. As an artist, collector and researcher popularizing the good value of
Muong culture, he has done many things at the same time. Particularly, he
participated in some scientific topic: "To build up written scripts, compile
materials of teaching and learning Muong language at Hoa Binh province” which
was sponsored by the Institute of Linguistics. Moreover, he wrote "Hoa Binh
Chorography” and researched the topic "The effects of foreign cultures through
media before building cultural life in the northern mountainous region of
Vietnam” sponsored by Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts Studies.
Especially in 2017, he was awarded National Prize of Literature and Art by the

seven flags of Muong ethnic people” (the part about Moi as the host) published
by Social Science Publishing House in 2011; and serial books " Funeral
