(HBO) - They are still the former people, the annual work: propaganda, promotion, exhibition, professional guidance to develop the mass cultural movement, film projection for the political tasks of the locality and people but the Provincial Center for Culture - Cinema has innovated to improve the operational efficiency.
The short play "Electricity is to be at the forefront" has been elaborately staged by the Provincial Center for Culture and Cinema to implement the propaganda "joining hands to build a new countryside" at the grassroots level.
With the explosion of mass media such as television, electronic newspapers, especially the internet, the people's intellectual life has been increasingly improved. Accordingly, people are less interested in the film showing, the cultural performances by artists, actors and propaganda officers of the province. Being aware of this, the Provincial Center for Culture and Cinema has constantly innovated propaganda in the direction of flexibility. On the one hand, they have been closely keeping the local political tasks, on the other hand, they have been paying attention to improving the quality of art to have the best programs to serve the people.
Mr. Bui Tu Cao, the Director of the Provincial Center for Culture and Cinema says that with the method of propaganda "quick, timely, mobile and effective", the Provincial Center for Culture and Cinema has built the right and good propaganda program. The right is in terms of content and the good is in the ways of communicating information. They have always been exploring and innovating in the direction of flexibility in organizing the propaganda programs, creating the newness and avoiding the boredom in the way of information transmission.
Although they are working in difficult conditions due to the limited funding for the professional operations, the officials of the Provincial Center for Culture - Cinema are still trying their best to perform better the task of transmitting the information to the grassroots levels, fully conveying the Party's guidelines and policies, the laws of the state to the public in remote areas, especially the difficult areas of the province.
Gongs hold a special place in the cultural and spiritual life of the Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh province. More than musical instruments, they are an indispensable part of community rituals and collective memory, echoing through generations as a spiritual thread linking the past, present, and future.
Preserving and promoting the cultural values of the Muong ethnic group has become an urgent task in the current context, as many traditional values face the risk of fading away. This effort requires not only protecting the cultural identity but also eliminating outdated customs and developing a modern cultural lifestyle, contributing to sustainable values for the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.
The Muong ethnic culture, deeply rooted in Vietnam’s mountainous north, continues to be preserved and revitalised by dedicated individuals and communities determined to safeguard their ancestral identity.
The Muong group is one of the largest ethnic minorities in Vietnam, primarily found in Hoa Binh province. The Muong people in Hoa Binh boast a rich and diverse cultural treasure that reflects the unique identity of this ethnic group. Accounting for over 63% of the province's population, they have created and preserved numerous distinctive cultural values, contributing to their unique identity. Their cultural heritage is an invaluable asset, at the heart of their national identity, and represents a vibrant spiritual life that must be preserved and promoted in today’s modern world.
For generations, the ethnic communities of Hoa Binh province, particularly the Muong people, have preserved vibrant festivals deeply intertwined with the region’s geography, nature, and social traditions. These celebrations enrich Hoa Binh’s spiritual life and cultural identity, reflecting both folk beliefs and the intermingling of ethnic customs. Many of these festivals have endured the test of time, passed down through generations and continuing to thrive today. Among them, the Khai Ha (Going Down to the Field) festival stands out as one of the most significant events of the Muong ethnic group.
