(HBO) – Although Huu Nghi ward is located in bustling Hoa Binh city, it still preserves the traditional culture of the Muong ethnic group.
Through various activities, the elderly have kept the traditions alive, while nurturing the love for indigenous cultural values among young generations.
Huu Nghi ward is the first locality in Hoa Binh city to establish a club of traditional culture and arts, which is operating effectively. With the aim of preserving the traditional culture, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union in Huu Nghi ward set up the club of folk culture and arts, bringing together 30 members aged from 15 to 35 years.
Nguyen Van Hung, deputy secretary of the local youth union, said the club was officially formed on August 20, 2020, with the first class on the Muong language taught by eminent artist Bui Huy Vong.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the class to suspend, the club has strived to teach the Muong language to its members and local children. "At first, many club members could not play gongs, speak the Muong language and sing Muong songs. However, most of them now can perform basic gong techniques and folk songs,” said Bui Thi Khanh Hoa, a club member.
"We usually participate in exchanges with units from other localities like Hoa Binh commune and Thinh Lang ward, as well as contests organised by the city,” Hoa added. "Last year, the club won the second prize of a communication contest.”
The youth union has regarded educating and teaching traditional culture to youths as an important task, and plans to maintain the operation of the club in the time ahead, expanding the membership to children and teenagers in the locality.
It has also diversified teaching methods such as making video clips and utilising social networks in this regard, helping to promote the traditional culture among young generations as well as increase their love for the homeland./.
