The delegates watched a documentary showcasing the results of the "Bi doi" collection and documentation as well as the technique of crafting and the art of performing the instrument.
"Bi doi” is a unique musical instrument of the Muong people in Da Bac district who also refer to it as "Pi Toi” or "Pi Doi”. It is used during festive occasions, celebrations, and Tet holidays, and in the storytelling time after long hours of hard work. "Bi doi” has become an indispensable instrument, embodying the spirit and essence of Muong ethnic minorities.
In its efforts to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of ethnic minorities in the province, the department has undertaken the collection, research, and restoration of the methods for finding materials, crafting, and teaching the instrument. The goal is to preserve and promote its cultural value, while also developing tourism services, and fostering socio-economic, and cultural development in the locality.
This effort is part of the project to preserve the cultural heritage of the Muong ethnic group and the "Hoa Binh Civilisation," thus contributing to affirming the position, role, and profound significance of traditional musical instruments in the cultural life of the group, and raise awareness about the importance of preserving and promoting the "Bi doi” instrument.
At the conference, delegates from various departments, agencies and the district, and artisans contributed their opinions on the results of the collection and documentation of this instrument, as well as measures to preserve and promote local cultural heritage.
