(HBO) – Yen Thuy district’s Lac Luong commune has been strengthening its steering committee for the "All people to unite to build a civilised life” movement while devising the committee’s operational mechanism and action plans relevant to the local situation.
The
movement calling for land donation to build inter-commune and inter-village
roads helps people in Lac Luong commune (Yen Thuy) travel more easily.
The commune has paid attention to raising
people’s awareness of the Party’s policies and State’s laws and campaign them
to adhere to these.
It has also encouraged people to engage in the
movement via various ways, for example, public loudspeaker communication,
cultural exchanges, music performances, and meeting of farmers, women, veterans
and youth’s unions. It has also honoured and awarded individuals and
organisations for their excellent performance in the movement.
Thanks to the acceleration of the movement, many
good examples and good deeds have been recognised across all areas, from
production, business to state management. Local people have enthusiastically
supported the movement "All people to unite to build new-style rural areas and
civilized cities, by donating land to build inter-commune roads in Luong Cao
and Quyet Thang residential zones. Many successful bussiness models have been
replicated, such as breeding goat farming, chicken farming in Luong Cao hamlet,
and beekeeping in Yen Tan hamlet.
From 2016 - 2020, the movement "All people to
unite to build a civilised life” have proved effective. By 2020, the commune
had 1,355 households recognised as civilised families, accounting for 92.36
percent of the total, 83 recognised as outstanding civilised families for three
consecutive years, accounting for 7.04 percent./.
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 This effort requires not only protecting the cultural identity but also eliminating outdated customs and developing a modern cultural lifestyle, contributing to sustainable values for the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.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.
Muong calendar, known as sach doi, is an ancient folk knowledge system developed through observations of the movement of the pleiades star. This unique calendar consists of 12 bamboo sticks, each representing a lunar month. Specific days within each month are marked with distinct symbols, guiding locals in determining auspicious and inauspicious days for important activities.
