In the afternoon of September 27, the Provincial Museum collaborated with the Culture and Information Department and the Department of Education and Training of Hoa Binh City to organize a promotional event to introduce the outstanding cultural heritage values of the city at Phuc Tien Primary and Secondary School in Quang Tien Commune.
At the event,
the representatives and the students from Phuc Tien Primary and Secondary
School were introduced to the significant cultural heritage sites in Hoa Binh
City.
Currently, Hoa
Binh City has 03 nationally recognized heritage sites, 09 provincially
recognized sites, 11 sites listed by the Provincial People's Committee for
inventory, and hundreds of other sites being well-protected and promoted for
their value. Additionally, the traditional festivals of Muong and Dao ethnic
groups have contributed to the unique cultural identity of this region.
During the
event, over 200 students were introduced to the several notable heritage sites
in Hoa Binh City, such as Hoa Binh Prison historical site in Tan Thinh Ward,
the historical site of the Political Training and Pre-Congress II of the Lao
People's Party in Dan Chu Ward, the scenic Tiên Phi Cave in Tan Hoa Ward, and
Su Ngoi Temple in Quynh Lam Ward...
This promotional
event aimed to provide the students with basic knowledge and a deep
understanding of the core values of local cultural heritage. It also sought to
raise the awareness among the students and the younger generation about the
importance of preserving and promoting the cultural heritage passed down from
their ancestors, contributing to the building of "friendly schools and active
students”.
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.
