(HBO) – A festival has been held in Sao Bay High School for young art troupes to popularise revolutionary songs. Themed "Hoa Binh youth move forward under the Party flag,” the event was jointly organised by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) of Hoa Binh and Kim Boi district's Centre for Culture, Information and Communications.
A performance at the festival.
The festival drew 15 art troupes from the youth unions of Sao Bay High School
and Sao Bay commune. They performed 15 songs in different forms such as solo,
duet, trio, group singing, singing and dancing, praising the Party, President
Ho Chi Minh, revolutionary tradition and love for the homeland, nation and
people, as well as Vietnamese soldiers and young people.
This was a practical and effective activity to educate the youth on the
revolutionary tradition, inspiring their pride on the older generations'
glorious struggles for national independence and freedom. The event also aimed
to promote the solidarity and self-resilience as well as the love for the
Fatherland among youth union members and youngsters, while highlighting the
pioneering role of the youth in all aspects of the social life, strengthening
healthy cultural and art movements, and contributing to maintaining the
national cultural identity./.
Hoa Binh province has carried out multiple programmes and initiatives to revive its cultural heritage which has gradually fallen into oblivion through the ebbs and flows of history.
The most prominent and defining feature in the prehistoric era of Hoa Binh is the Hoa Binh Culture. The Culture was first discovered in Hoa Binh. The significant prehistoric culture represents not only Vietnam but also Southeast Asia and southern China. Through excavations of cave sites in the limestone regions of Hoa Binh, French archaeologist M. Colani introduced the world to a "Stone Age in Hoa Binh province – Northern Vietnam" in 1927. On January 30, 1932, the First Congress of Far Eastern Prehistorians, held in Hanoi, officially recognised the Hoa Binh Culture.
Known as the "Land of Epic History”, Hoa Binh province, the gateway to Vietnam’s northwest, boasts a strategic location and a unique cultural tapestry woven by its ethnic minority communities.
The People's Committee of Luong Son District recently held a ceremony to receive the certificate recognizing Sau Communal House in Thanh Cao Commune as a provincial-level historical and cultural site.
Recognising the importance of cultural heritage preservation in protecting and promoting the value system of Vietnamese culture, and serving socio-economic development in the new period, Party committees and local administrations in Hoa Binh province have identified it as a key task in the cultural development strategy. The province has been making efforts in mobilising resources, creating consensus among people and engaging ethnic communities in preserving and promoting cultural identity.
Hoa Binh province has captured growing attention both domestically and internationally for its distinctive cultural heritage and rich history. Most notably, it has been renowned for its famous Hoa Binh culture, considered the cradle of ancient Vietnamese civilisation. Looking ahead to significant milestones in 2025 and the 140th anniversary of province establishment in 2026, Hoa Binh Newspaper presents a comprehensive overview of the province's development across economic, social, cultural, tourism, and security domains.
