(HBO) – Thanks to the support from central and local authorities, communes in Hoa Binh province have continued mobilising and spending resources on cultural development so as to improve rural residents’ living standards.
Tan
Vinh commune of Luong Son district has been equipped with a large stadium which
has met local residents’ demand.
In the first nine months of 2021, communes
completed financial documents for 235 cultural works whose construction started
in 2020, including six communal cultural centres, seven communal stadiums, and
222 cultural and sports centres of hamlets.
So far, 75 of the 129 communes in Hoa Binh have
met Criterion No. 6 on cultural infrastructure in the national target programme
on new-style rural area building.
Besides, to satisfy Criterion No. 16 on culture,
local communes have been working to promote the building of civilised families
and villages, thereby greatly contributing to the movement that calls on all
people to stay united to develop a civilised lifestyle and build new-style
countryside. Their efforts have also helped improve many social aspects in
rural areas.
As a result, 116 of the 129 communes in the
province have met Criterion No. 16 on culture./.
As a land deeply intertwined with human history and Vietnam’s millennia-long journey of nation-building and defence, Hoa Binh is often revered for its epic tales and legends.
Residents of Hoa Binh boast a rich cultural identity, reflected in their unique language, traditional attire, customs, and folk melodies – described as "sweet as honey, clear as a mountain stream.”
Lac Son district’s Vu ban town held the 2025 Truong Kha temple festival on April 12–13 (the 15th–16th days of the third lunar month). Since its revival in 2019, the festival has been organised every three years, preserving valuable intangible heritage while meeting the community’s cultural and spiritual needs.
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.
