The Hoa Binh provincial Museum on October 28 organised a programme to disseminate the value of Vanh village stone shelter special national relic site, in Yen Phu commune, Lac Son district, at Yen Phu Primary and Secondary School, drawing the participation of nearly 200 students, staff members and teachers of the school.
Delegates and
students watch photos on display at the programme.
The students were introduced to the origin of the name
"Hoa Binh Culture", Trai hamlet’s cave in Tan Lap commune, and Vanh
village’s stone shelter; and watched photos featuring the research,
archaeological process and cultural activities related to the relic sites in
Lac Son district.
Notably, the stone shelter shows the characteristics of a
large relic site in the core area of Hoa Binh Culture in Vietnam. This is
evidence of the origin of Hoa Binh Culture in Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
It was recognised as a national archaeological site by the
Ministry of Culture and Information (now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and
Tourism) in 2003, and as a special national relic site by the Prime Minister in
July 2024.
The programme was a meaningful activity to raise awareness
and foster love for national culture and traditions among students. It was also
an opportunity for them to learn about and remember the historical values and
cultural beauty that have contributed to forming the identity of the homeland,
thereby joining hands to protect, preserve and promote traditional cultural
values.
As part of Project 6 under the national target program for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas in 2024, Lạc Sơn District, Hoa Binh province focuses on diverse and practical activities to promote the project's goal: "Preserving and promoting the beautiful traditional cultural values of ethnic groups in conjunction with tourism development."
