A festival opened in the northern central province of Thanh Hoa on April 7 to commemorate Trieu Thi Trinh, revered as Lady Trieu, who led a rebellion against the Chinese occupation in the third century.

The re-enactment of Lady Trieu's uprising

The festival is taking place at a temple dedicated to the national heroine in Trieu Loc commune of Hau Loc district and was attended by National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan.

On the opening day, a number of rituals were performed, incense was offered and an invocation was delivered to mark the 1770th anniversary of Lady Trieu’s death.

As part of the festival, local artists re-enacted the heroine’s life during the uprising against the state of Easter Wu, which then ruled northern Vietnam, and performed dances and songs in praise of the Vietnamese women’s contributions to national construction and defence.

The festival, which lasts for three days, also includes an exhibition on the beauty of Thanh Hoa to promote tourism in the province.

Bringing art to remote areas - promoting ethnic culture

Hoa Binh city - Vibrant community activities at cultural houses

Building a cultural conservation area for Muong ethnic group in Luy Ai hamlet

Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province, is widely regarded as the cultural heartland of the Muong ethnic group. Among its many traditional communities, Luy Ai hamlet (formerly Ai hamlet) stands out as a rare location where the customs and way of life of the Muong Bi people remain largely intact.

Truong Kha temple festival celebrates Muong cultural heritage

The Truong Kha temple festival, a distinctive cultural event held every three years in Vu Ban township, Lac Son district, returned recently with vibrant rituals and folk traditions of the Muong people. Located next to the Buoi River in the Muong Trao fields, the Truong Kha Temple is dedicated to the three Kun Dol deities, revered for teaching farming techniques, irrigation, weaving, and protecting the harvest.

Hoa Binh city residents enjoy upgraded cultural houses

The demand for spaces serving community activities of residents in various areas across Hoa Binh city has been satisfied as local cultural houses now feature modern, spacious facilities thanks to the effective implementation of Resolution No. 49/NQ-HDND issued on December 28, 2021 by the city People's Council, which approved the plan for reorganising, converting, and allocating land for the construction, repair, and expansion of cultural houses in Hoa Binh’s villages and residential areas until 2025.

Enhancing cultural and spiritual life in remote and ethnic minority areas

At the end of May, the Hoa Binh Provincial Ethnic Arts Troupe organized a series of performances for residents in Region 2 and Region 3 communes across the province. Bringing art to ethnic communities in remote, isolated, and especially disadvantaged areas has become a meaningful activity. These are not merely artistic performances but also journeys to disseminate cultural values, enrich spiritual life, and contribute to preserving the cultural identity of ethnic minorities.
