(HBO) – Hoa Binh City hosted a popularisation competition from July 30 – 31, bringing together nearly 500 performers and presenters from 19 commune- and ward-level teams.
A performance at the provincial popularisation competition.
Contestants competed in four categories,
including verbal popularisation, singing, dancing and theatrical acts.
Performances focused on praising the Communist Party of Vietnam and President
Ho Chi Minh; promoting new-style rural development; COVID-19 prevention and
control; and preserving the national cultural identity, etc. Each performance
lasted no longer than 30 minutes.
According to the Organising Committee, this year
all teams have prepared thoroughly in terms of content, setting, acting,
costumes and others. Their performances were consistent in the theme, lively,
easy to memorise and comprehensible, and reflected harmonious combination. The
most well-received included theatrical acts "Nguoi giu hon Muong” (Keeper of
Muong soul) of Tan Thinh ward, "Roong mo nhan nghia” of Yen Mong commune, and
"Bao ton va phat huy gia tri di san cac dan toc tinh Hoa Binh” (Preserving and
promoting heritages of Hoa Binh province’s ethnic minority groups).
After the two-day contest, 21 A, 29 B and 29 C
prizes were awarded to performances in all the four categories. Best performer
awards were given to those from the wards of Tan Hoa, Ky Son, and Tan Thinh.
First prizes for the best teams went to three
wards of Tan Thinh, Ky Son and Yen Mong. Five second and seven third prizes
were also presented./.
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.
