The ancient Muong area of Muong Dong – Kim Boi is experiencing a cultural resurgence, becoming a popular source of spiritual enrichment and drawing locals from walks of life.
Kim Boi district prioritises teaching of
traditional culture to younger generations
Cultural and art activities have flourished not
only in Vinh Dong commune but across the district, fully meeting local creative
and recreational needs. Traditional folk performances such as Muong gong
ensemble performances, and folk songs and dances of the Muong and Dao ethnic
groups, as well as Mo Muong rituals and other spiritual activities in
festivals, are being increasingly preserved and promoted. The annual Muong Dong
festival, held on the 8th day of the Lunar New Year in Vinh Dong commune,
attracts numerous amateur performers to cultural activities, processions, and
gong performances.
Having recorded these achievements, yet
community-based cultural and art activities are facing hurdles such as limited
funding, lack of land for cultural houses, recreational spaces, and training
grounds, as well as inadequate infrastructure and equipment, especially in
remote areas.
Looking ahead, Kim Boi district plans to enhance
the leadership and direction of Party Committees and local authorities in
promoting grassroots cultural activities. Key focuses include improving the
quality of community cultural life through the movement for national solidarity
in building cultural lifestyles, completing cultural facilities and supporting the
formation of cultural and art clubs and performance troupes, promoting
traditional folk arts to create cultural products rich in ethnic identity;
effective management, planning, training, and nurturing of staff responsible
for cultural affairs; proposing policies and investment levels for public art
activities, and arranging specialised training and political education for
artists and folk artisans, renewing the activities of relevant clubs and
professional associations to unify and inspire creativity among artists and
artisans, while encouraging public engagement in preserving and passing down
traditional cultural values.
