CULTURE

Preserving and promoting heritage

TQO - Four heritages of Tuyen Quang province were honored, including Fire Dancing Ceremony of Pa Then people, Hong Quang commune (Lam Binh); Hong Thai communal house festival, Tan Trao commune (Son Duong); Knowledge about Con Nuoc of Tay people in Trung Ha, Ha Lang communes (Chiem Hoa), Con Lon commune (Na Hang), Phuc Yen commune (Lam Binh); Knowledge and practices of wet rice cultivation of Tay people in Lang Can, Hong Quang, Khuon Ha, Thuong Lam, Phuc Yen communes (Lam Binh).

To date, Tuyen Quang province has had 16 heritage sites included in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and many festivals have been restored. However, after the honor, the responsibility to preserve and promote heritage is an issue that needs attention.

Intangible cultural heritages are created by the community and are being nurtured in the community. The state should pay attention to repairing degraded festival-related relics and infrastructure systems to make the festival more orderly, larger-scale, and better meet the needs of enjoyment of people.
