(HBO) – In the cultural heritage of Vietnamese people, the culture of Muong ethnic group is imprinted in various fields.
Students
come to study exhibits at the provincial museum under the theme "Typical
cultural heritage of Muong ethnic group in Hoa Binh province”.
On display are nearly 200 documents and objects reflecting some unique features
of Muong culture in Hoa Binh province. The most outstanding is the display area
of Muong ethnic group’s traditional brocade weaving. This craft has existed for
a long time. Girls from 9 to 10 years old know to follow their mothers to the
fields to grow and harvest cotton. When they are 13-14 years old, they learn to
practise spinning.
For the first time, Mo Muong cultural heritage has been shown to the public. Mo
Muong is a collection of mythological epics performed at the funeral of Muong
ethnic people. It reflects the spiritual life and the development history of
Muong ethnic group as well as their viewpoints on life and death, the eternal
existence of human souls, and desires for community cohesion, peace, and good
future.
Today, Mo Muong still exists and is constantly improved by many generations of
Mo prayers. The special value of Mo Muong has been included in the list of
national intangible cultural heritages by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and
Tourism.
Bui Thi Niem, Director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and
Tourism, said the cultural heritage of Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh is
demonstrated in the architecture of stilt houses, costumes, gastronomy,
cultural and historical relic sites, and antiques such as bronze drums, gongs,
and pottery in Muong people’s graves as well as other fields like traditional
customs, festivals, rituals, music, and performing art.
Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh are always proud to be the cradle of the "Hoa
Binh Culture” dating back to more than 20,000 years with the preservation of
hundreds of bronze drums and more than 5,000 precious gongs as well as numerous
