The provincial Union of Science and Technology in coordination with the Heritage Park for Scientists & Scholars of Vietnam has organised a symposium on culture traits associated with Tay Tien (Westward advancing) soldiers and tourism along the route they once marched.
A view of the symposium.
The May 17 event formed part of the
science-technology activities aiming to promote the cultural and historical
values of documents and objects related to the Tay Tien Regiment, thus
promoting local tourism.
Other activities include adding more than 50
documents and objects presented by the soldiers’ relatives to the provincial
museum, raising the total number of such items collected since 2012 to 350; and
clarifying many stories featuring sentiments between the soldiers and
residents, notably ethnic groups in Hoa Binh province.
The Tay Tien front covered Hanoi, Hoa Binh, Son
La, and Thanh Hoa of Vietnam, and Huaphanh of Laos.
Over the past time, Hoa Binh and other
localities have carried out an array of activities to commemorate Tay Tien
soldiers and raise youths’ awareness of their sacrifice.
There are three relic sites associated with the
regiment, of them two in Lac Son (Hoa Binh) and Muong Lat (Thanh Hoa) winning
the provincial status, and the other in Moc Chau (Son La) earning the national
recognition.
At the symposium, participants looked into the
cultural and historical values of the documents and objects, and raised
proposals to promote Tay Tien tourism in Hoa Binh, as well as tours along the
route, from Hanoi through Hoa Binh and Son La to Huaphanh.
Hoa Binh province has shown strong performance in family planning by effectively implementing directions and plans in the field, including Directive No. 12/CT-UBND issued by the Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee on August 4, 2021 on rolling out measures to maintain the policy of each couple having two children, which is stated in community rules and the regulations of agencies, organisations, and units across the province of Hoa Binh for the 2021 – 2025 period.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended a hybrid conference on December 18 to review the culture, sport, and tourism sector’s performance in 2024 and launch key tasks for 2025. Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Council Bui Duc Hinh, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Chuong and officials from local departments and sectors also took part in the event.
Hoa Binh’s Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism on December 18, hosted a conference to present the outcomes of a research study on the traditional costumes of the Muong ethnic group.
Along with the activities of Project 6 - the national target programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas for the 2021 – 2026 period, efforts to preserve and promote the traditional cultural values of ethnic minorities in Lac Son district have received additional momentum.
In the context of globalisation and deeper integration, preserving and promoting the national cultural identity is of utmost importance. Aware of their pioneering and proactive role on all fronts, over the years, the youth organisations at all levels in Hoa Binh province have implemented various concrete and practical activities to preserve and promote the cultural identities of ethnic groups in the locality.
