Xam
communal house in Phu Lai commune (Yen Thuy district) serves as a cultural and
spiritual activities venue of local people.
Xam communal house in Phu Lai
commune was built at the end of the 18th century. It is one of the earliest-
known communal houses in Hoa Binh province.
Through the vicissitudes of
life, the communal house has seen its share of action. Over time, the house has
been damaged and even collapsed. But it 2010, it was rebuilt on its old
foundation. The house is now used by locals for cultural, spiritual and
religious activities.
Local people contribute both
financially and by working on projects to repair and upgrade the home, thereby
further enhancing its cultural identity and beauty.
Under the Law on Cultural
Heritage, the district has worked to preserve and promote local cultural
heritage sites, to raise public awareness on heritage conservation.
Besides the State investment,
the district promotes the mobilisation of local resources to restore the
relics. Bui Trong Thuy, deputy head of the district's Department of Culture and
Sports, said, "There are currently about 23 relics in the area, all of which
have received funding from locals and sponsors for preservation and protection.
The restored relics become an attractive destination for tourists,” he added.
In an effort to exploit the
historical and cultural values of the relics for tourism development, the district
People's Committee has issued a tourism development project to 2025 with a vision
to 2030 and a plan to preserve cultural heritage sites in the locality covering
the period from 2021 to 2030.
This is a timely project to
link the development of tourism products with the exploitation of cultural
resources, and to develop tourism in a sustainable manner that benefits the
region for years to come./.
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.
