Deputy Director of the provincial Department of
Culture, Sports and Tourism Luu Huy Linh said thanks to the attention of provincial
leaders and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as well as efforts of local
authorities, the preservation and promotion of intangible cultural heritage
values have been stepped up.
There are hundreds of spring festivals across
Hoa Binh at present, including over 40 festivals of local ethnic minorities restored
recently such as the Khai ha Muong Bi Festival in Tan Lac district, the Xen Ban
and Xen Muong festivals of the Thai ethnic group in Mai Chau district, the Gau
Tao Festival of Mong people in Mai Chau, and the Long Tong Festival of Tay
people in Da Bac district.
Under the provincial administration’s
directions, local relic sites have been restored and upgraded. Nineteen of the
68 relic sites in the province have been rated so far while the management,
protection, and promotion of values of these places have been associated with
the organisation of festivals.
Party committees, authorities and organisations
from the provincial to grassroots levels have taken action to enhance their
leadership over the management and organisation of festivals. The target is to
organise local festivals in a solemn, economical, and effective manner that is
in line with fine customs and traditional cultural values so as to meet
people’s cultural and spiritual demand. They expect that by doing so, festivals
in Hoa Binh will attract more visitors, thus better preserving and bringing
into play cultural identities of ethnic minority groups in the province./.
