In the afternoon of September 27, the Provincial Museum collaborated with the Culture and Information Department and the Department of Education and Training of Hoa Binh City to organize a promotional event to introduce the outstanding cultural heritage values of the city at Phuc Tien Primary and Secondary School in Quang Tien Commune.
At the event,
the representatives and the students from Phuc Tien Primary and Secondary
School were introduced to the significant cultural heritage sites in Hoa Binh
City.
Currently, Hoa
Binh City has 03 nationally recognized heritage sites, 09 provincially
recognized sites, 11 sites listed by the Provincial People's Committee for
inventory, and hundreds of other sites being well-protected and promoted for
their value. Additionally, the traditional festivals of Muong and Dao ethnic
groups have contributed to the unique cultural identity of this region.
During the
event, over 200 students were introduced to the several notable heritage sites
in Hoa Binh City, such as Hoa Binh Prison historical site in Tan Thinh Ward,
the historical site of the Political Training and Pre-Congress II of the Lao
People's Party in Dan Chu Ward, the scenic Tiên Phi Cave in Tan Hoa Ward, and
Su Ngoi Temple in Quynh Lam Ward...
This promotional
event aimed to provide the students with basic knowledge and a deep
understanding of the core values of local cultural heritage. It also sought to
raise the awareness among the students and the younger generation about the
importance of preserving and promoting the cultural heritage passed down from
their ancestors, contributing to the building of "friendly schools and active
students”.
Hoa Binh’s Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism on December 18, hosted a conference to present the outcomes of a research study on the traditional costumes of the Muong ethnic group.
Along with the activities of Project 6 - the national target programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas for the 2021 – 2026 period, efforts to preserve and promote the traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities in Lac Son district have received additional momentum.
In the context of globalisation and deeper integration, preserving and promoting the national cultural identity is of utmost importance. Aware of their pioneering and proactive role on all fronts, over the years, the youth organisations at all levels in Hoa Binh province have implemented various concrete and practical activities to preserve and promote the cultural identities of ethnic groups in the locality.
Mai Chau district of Hoa Binh province is home to seven ethnic groups, six of which are minorities. The cultural identities of the ethnic minority groups have been preserved well. One of the district’s effective preservation efforts is the establishment of a cultural preservation club at the Mai Chau Boarding Secondary and High School for Ethnic Minority Groups.
Within the framework of Project 6 on preserving and promoting the fine traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities associated with tourism development, Lac Son district of Hoa Binh province organised a training programme and experimental competition of "danh mang” – a folk game played by the Muong ethnic group during their festivals – on November 26-27.
The Muong ethnic minority community, with a nationwide population of over 1.4 million, are primarily concentrated in Hoa Binh province, which is home to more than 500,000 Muong people who make up over 63% of the locality's total population. The promotion of the Muong language and script is crucial for preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of the Muong people, as well as bolstering socio-economic development, thus contributing to the effective implementation of the national target programme on boosting the socio-economic development of ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous regions.
