A
representative from the provincial Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism
presents the certification recognising Sau communal house as
aprovincial-level historical and cultural relic site.
Located in Sau Ha village, the communal house was originally
made of bamboo and thatch before being rebuilt with durable wood in a
traditional "J"-shaped structure. It remained a significant cultural and
spiritual site until 1950, when it was destroyed during a French military
sweep, leaving only its foundation. Worship activities ceased, and all
religious artifacts were lost. The communal house has since undergone multiple
restorations, leading to its present-day form.
Historical records preserved at the Vietnam Academy of Social
Sciences indicate that the Nguyen Dynasty bestowed four royal decrees upon the
communal house in 1887, 1909, and 1924. The communal house worships three
supreme-ranking deities: Tan Vien Son, Cao Son, and Quy Minh.
Rebuilt with community contributions, the communal house serves
as a cultural and spiritual landmark. Its annual festival, held on the fifth
day of the first lunar month, features unique traditional rituals and performances.
Given its historical and cultural significance, the Hoa Binh provincial
People’s Committee has granted Sau communal house the provincial-level
historical and cultural relic site status.
With an increasingly vibrant and widespread emulation movement aimed at building cultured residential areas and cultured families, Yen Thuy District has been making steady progress toward improving both the material and spiritual well-being of its people, while fostering a civilized, prosperous, beautiful, and progressive community.
Once lacking recreational spaces and community facilities, Residential Group 2 in Quynh Lam Ward (Hoa Binh City) has recently received attention for the construction of a new, spacious, and fully equipped cultural house. The project followed the model of state support combined with public contributions in both labor and funding.
The "All people unite to build cultural life" movement, which has been effectively integrated with Kim Boi district’s socio-economic development goals, is fostering a lively spirit of emulation across local residential areas, hamlets, villages, public agencies, and enterprises. In addition, through the initiative, traditional cultural values are being preserved and promoted, while community solidarity and mutual support in poverty reduction and economic development are being strengthened.
A working delegation of the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee led by its Permanent Vice Chairman Nguyen Van Toan on June 11 inspected the progress of a project to build the Mo Muong Cultural Heritage Conservation Space linked to tourism services in Hop Phong commune, Cao Phong district.
Born and growing in the heroic land of Muong Dong, Dinh Thi Kieu Dung, a resident in Bo town of Kim Boi district, in her childhood was nurtured by the sweet lullabies of her grandmother and mother. These melodies deeply imprinted on her soul, becoming an inseparable part of her love for her ethnic group's culture. For over 20 years, this love for her hometown has driven Dung to research, collect, and pass down the cultural values of the Muong people to future generations.
In the final days of May, the Ethnic Art Troupe of Hoa Binh Province organized performances to serve the people in remote, mountainous, and particularly disadvantaged areas within the province. These were not just ordinary artistic shows, but they were the meaningful journeys aimed at spreading cultural values, enhancing the spiritual life of the people and contributing to the preservation of ethnic minority cultural identities.
