(HBO) - The Tan Lac District People’s Committee has asked communes and towns to encourage the wearing of ethnic minority outfits under Document No 45/PVHTT dated March 20. The move aims to honour and promote the cultural heritages of local ethnic minority groups.

Local people in Phong Phu commune, Tan
Lac district, wear traditional outfits while attending a district sporting
festival.

clothing on special occasions, such as Vietnamese Ethnic Groups’ Culture Day
(April 14), Vietnam Cultural Heritage Day (November 23), International Women’s
Day (March 8), and Vietnamese Women’s Day (October 20).

the traditional outfits of ethnic minority groups in the current period” project.
It also conducted surveys and evaluated and named ethnic minority clothing on a
list of local intangible cultural heritages in the 2021-2023 period. It has
also sharpened its focus on promoting traditional clothing in tandem with

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.
