topic at Ministry level about the art of performing Mo Muong launched by the
Institute of Cultural Studies under the administration of Vietnam Academy of
Social Sciences.
Looking at the list of the researches, studies and topics he has
done, is doing and intends to do, he should be received admirations and
appreciation when this man has worked tirelessly for high and meaningful
purposes. As an artist, collector and researcher popularizing the good value of
Muong culture, he has done many things at the same time. Particularly, he
participated in some scientific topic: "To build up written scripts, compile
materials of teaching and learning Muong language at Hoa Binh province” which
was sponsored by the Institute of Linguistics. Moreover, he wrote "Hoa Binh
Chorography” and researched the topic "The effects of foreign cultures through
media before building cultural life in the northern mountainous region of
Vietnam” sponsored by Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts Studies.
Especially in 2017, he was awarded National Prize of Literature and Art by the
president for the research: Funeral customs – Volume I: "Funeral customs with
seven flags of Muong ethnic people” (the part about Moi as the host) published
by Social Science Publishing House in 2011; and serial books " Funeral
tradition of Muong people” – Three volumes. This is a collection of three
elaborate researches in the cultural heritage of Muong people.
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.
