Preserving the national culture.

The movement of the mass culture has been widely developed in hamlets, villages, and residential areas, being increasingly improved in the quality. Currently, there are art performance teams in 100% of the villages, the hamlets and the residential areas in the province. They regularly have meetings and practise to have new, interesting and attractive performances during holidays, New Year and the anniversaries of the locality and the country. Many teams have actively been purchasing more costumes, props and musical instruments for practice and performance from the socialized sources.

The activities of the grassroots performance teams not only enrich the spiritual life of the people, effectively serve the local political tasks, but they also transmit the traditional culture and education to the young generation so that they can understand and love the traditional culture of the nation. Additionally, many localities, associations and unions have set up cultural clubs, the clubs conserving the folklore culture to meet the needs of the cultural enjoyment and to create a healthy entertainment playground for the people.

In addition to the practice to perform the modern art repertoire, the performance teams have also been paying special attention to preserving and promoting the traditional cultural values of the nation through folk songs, folk dance and ethnic musical tools. At the community tourism villages, there are 2-3 performance teams to serve tourists when they pay a visit and are on vacation there. Ms. Ly Sao Mai from the art team of Sung vilage, Cao Son commune (Da Bac) says: As a community tourism village, we regularly welcome international delegations to visit and relax. In addition to exploring the natural landscape, the cuisine and the traditional culture of the Dao ethnic group, visitors can also enjoy many unique cultural performances of Dao ethnic people. They are very excited to see and also dance with us. This is our driving force, joy and pride in making a small contribution to preserving the national culture, making the culture of Dao ethnic people (Da Bac) closer to international friends.
