(HBO) - Over the past years, the culture, sports and tourism sector has made recommendations to the provincial administration in issuing directions, mechanisms and policies on the building of a healthy cultural environment, starting with the maintenance of the movement "All people unite in building a cultured lifestyle” in association with the new-style countryside and civilised city development.
Staff of
the community-based learning centre and young people in Huu Nghi ward of Hoa
Binh city have collected books and newspapers for cultural centres of local
residential areas so as to encourage the reading habit.All-level authorities and sectors have boosted communications
campaigns so as to promote people, civil servants and public employees’
awareness and effective implementation of activities to develop "cultured
families”, "cultured villages”, and "cultured agencies, units and businesses”.
District-level localities in Hoa Binh province
have paid heed to multiplying the models of cultured families, villages and
residential areas, stepping up the practice of a civilised lifestyle,
environmental protection and eradication of social crimes, and bringing into
play grassroots democracy. Some have developed such models as "self-managed
groups of families”, "self-managed alleys”, "self-managed streets”, and
"self-managed clans”. Besides, agencies, sectors and organisations have applied
codes of conduct to their cadres, civil servants, public employees, and staff.
As a result, the campaign of building cultured
families, villages, residential areas, and agencies has been expanding. In
2019, 83.8 percent of families across the province were recognised as "cultured
families” while 85.2 percent of villages and residential areas and 94 percent
of agencies and businesses met standards for cultured lifestyle.
To have a healthy society, building sustainable
and happy families which are the vital cell of society is also of critical
importance. So far, 1,657 clubs of "Developing sustainable families” in Hoa
Binh province have been set up, creating platforms for members to share
experience to help build progressive, happy, and sustainable families.
Additionally, the upholding of families and
clans’ fine traditions has also received due attention. In the movement of
developing "cultured families”, a number of exemplary families have been
honoured such as those of Nguyen Quang Canh in Dong Tam commune (Lac Thuy
district), Dinh Duc Ban in Hop Phong commune (Cao Phong district), Ly Sinh Toan
in Tu Son commune (Kim Boi district), and Bui Quang Ngoan in Mong Hoa commune
(Hoa Binh city).
To further improve people’s living standards,
authorities have also developed such facilities as cultural centres, sports
grounds, libraries, and equipment for joint activities which are hoped to
attract locals to healthy cultural activities and prevent toxic culture./.
Hoa Binh province has carried out multiple programmes and initiatives to revive its cultural heritage which has gradually fallen into oblivion through the ebbs and flows of history.
The most prominent and defining feature in the prehistoric era of Hoa Binh is the Hoa Binh Culture. The Culture was first discovered in Hoa Binh. The significant prehistoric culture represents not only Vietnam but also Southeast Asia and southern China. Through excavations of cave sites in the limestone regions of Hoa Binh, French archaeologist M. Colani introduced the world to a "Stone Age in Hoa Binh province – Northern Vietnam" in 1927. On January 30, 1932, the First Congress of Far Eastern Prehistorians, held in Hanoi, officially recognised the Hoa Binh Culture.
Known as the "Land of Epic History”, Hoa Binh province, the gateway to Vietnam’s northwest, boasts a strategic location and a unique cultural tapestry woven by its ethnic minority communities.
The People's Committee of Luong Son District recently held a ceremony to receive the certificate recognizing Sau Communal House in Thanh Cao Commune as a provincial-level historical and cultural site.
Recognising the importance of cultural heritage preservation in protecting and promoting the value system of Vietnamese culture, and serving socio-economic development in the new period, Party committees and local administrations in Hoa Binh province have identified it as a key task in the cultural development strategy. The province has been making efforts in mobilising resources, creating consensus among people and engaging ethnic communities in preserving and promoting cultural identity.
Hoa Binh province has captured growing attention both domestically and internationally for its distinctive cultural heritage and rich history. Most notably, it has been renowned for its famous Hoa Binh culture, considered the cradle of ancient Vietnamese civilisation. Looking ahead to significant milestones in 2025 and the 140th anniversary of province establishment in 2026, Hoa Binh Newspaper presents a comprehensive overview of the province's development across economic, social, cultural, tourism, and security domains.
