On the night of the Full Moon Festival in January, the year of Mau Ty in 1948, on a working trip, the President Ho Chi Minh was inspired to read the poem Nguyen Tieu in Chinese characters. Also from the poem Nguyen Tieu, since 2003, the Full Moon Festival in January has become Vietnam Poetry Day and it is celebrated in all localities across the country.

The poetry space was solemnly decorated, imbued with the breath of Hoa Binh culture with the characteristics of Muong poetry, folk poetry and contemporary works.
In addition, the program is also a place to meet, exchange and connect between the generations of poets, from veteran authors to young writers, to share their creative journey and inspiring stories from the real life.
Vietnam Poetry Day 2025 in Hoa Binh is not only an occasion to honor the poetic works, but it is also to inspire the creativity for writers, poets and artists.

As Hoa Binh province is set to host 115 spring festivals, local departments, sectors and localities are joining hands to ensure safety for the events.
In many major cultural events in Hanoi, the sound of the Muong people's gongs has become a special tone, contributing to the unique harmony that praises the cultural values accumulated over thousands of years along with the sacred soul of the capital city.

The vibrant brocade patterns created a striking cultural display, reinforcing the community's commitment to preserving and promoting their heritage.
