Mr. Bui Huy Vong is devoting himself to the research in folklore.

Mr. Vong said: "In 2008, I took part in the research "Traditional Muong cultural identity and trends of current transformation” and contributed to the topic "Traditional Muong weaving and trends of current transformation”. In 2012, I also participated in the topic: "Techniques of performing Mo Muong and sorting its types through the artistic view of performance”. This is the topic at Ministry level about the art of performing Mo Muong launched by the Institute of Cultural Studies under the administration of Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences.

Looking at the list of the researches, studies and topics he has done, is doing and intends to do, he should be received admirations and appreciation when this man has worked tirelessly for high and meaningful purposes. As an artist, collector and researcher popularizing the good value of Muong culture, he has done many things at the same time. Particularly, he participated in some scientific topic: "To build up written scripts, compile materials of teaching and learning Muong language at Hoa Binh province” which was sponsored by the Institute of Linguistics. Moreover, he wrote "Hoa Binh Chorography” and researched the topic "The effects of foreign cultures through media before building cultural life in the northern mountainous region of Vietnam” sponsored by Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts Studies. Especially in 2017, he was awarded National Prize of Literature and Art by the president for the research: Funeral customs – Volume I: "Funeral customs with seven flags of Muong ethnic people” (the part about Moi as the host) published by Social Science Publishing House in 2011; and serial books " Funeral tradition of Muong people” – Three volumes. This is a collection of three elaborate researches in the cultural heritage of Muong people.
