(HBO) - Determining that the economic development, hunger eradication and poverty reduction are the most important tasks in building a new cultural life, the Steering Committee of the commune has cooperated with the Fatherland Front and other mass organizations to actively propagate and mobilize the people to transfer the appropriate crop structure, implementing the land consolidation and plot exchange, using new varieties and applying techniques in production and so on.
Accordingly, the average income per capita of the commune has reached 31.5 million VND. The rate of the poor households has decreased to 6.39%. The people have agreed to join hands in building a new countryside. Currently, Lac Thinh has reached 13 out of the 19 criteria of building a new countryside. Among the unfulfilled criteria, it is difficult to achieve the criteria of cultural and physical foundations. To solve the above problem, the Party Committee and the People’s Committee of the commune have actively mobilized people to donate land to build the cultural houses and they have received enthusiastic responses from the people.
The people in Lac Thinh commune (Yen Thuy) have been actively participating in cultural and arts movement to enrich their spiritual life.
The purpose of building a new cultural life is to push back the backward customs and practices and to promote the fine traditions and customs and the identity of the national cultural traditions. More than 80% of Lac Thinh's population is Muong. In the past, the wedding party used to last for many days, now it has been improved significantly. Most of the weddings have been organized according to a civilized lifestyle, not for a long time, there is no situation of being drunk leading to fighting and causing disorder. The funeral has also changed positively. All the funerals have been organized simply, thoughtfully and respectfully by the party committee, the committee of the front and the unions and other organizations.
In addition, the Party Committee and the People’s Committee of Lac Thinh commune are paying special attention to preserving the national cultural identity through the cultural and artistic activities and the traditional local festivals. Currently, each hamlet has set up their own arts team. On the occasion of holidays, New Year, the arts teams exchange with each other. The performances of gongs and songs of Muong people are nicely shown by the nucleus of arts. Additionally, De Rice Tet is a unique cultural feature of Muong ethnic people in Lac Thinh. Every year, on October 26 of the lunar calendar, the people of Muong Ram organize their traditional De Rice Tet
Thanks to the effective implementation of the movement to build the cultural life, in 2018 there were 8 out of the 15 villages reaching the cultural villages in Lac Thinh. 78% of the households reached the title of the cultural families. In 2019, implementing the merger, there are only 11 helmets in the commune. They are trying to have 8 out of the 11 villages reaching the cultural villages with the average income per capita of 33.5 million VND.
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.
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.
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.
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.
