years of the province’s establishment and 25 years of its re-establishment.
Recalling
the period when the complex was being built, an architect took part in the
project said it is a construction work of political, architectural and cultural
significance, creating a highlight for Hoa Binh city’s urban landscape. It
bears both modern and traditional cultural features, including the gong
cultural space of the Muong ethnic minority people.
The centre
of the rostrum is a symbol of six main groups residing in the province, namely
Muong, Thai, Kinh, Tay, Dao and Mong. The symbol contains six pillars similar
to the frame of a stilt wooden house of the ethnic groups as well as the
character "Person” in Chinese language. An image of a reformed version Muong
gong is placed in a square-shaped flower background.
