(Fatherland) - On the morning of February 4 (the 7th day of the Lunar New Year), at Doi Tin field, Tien Son commune, Duy Tien town, Ha Nam province, the 2025 Doi Son Tich Dien Festival took place. The Tich Dien Festival is a cultural beauty, praying for a year of favorable weather, favorable wind, and bountiful crops.
On the morning of February 4 (the 7th day of the Lunar New Year), at the field of Doi Tin village, Tien Son commune, Duy Tien district People's Committee organized the Tich Dien festival in 2025.
After the ceremony of worshiping Than Nong to pray for a year of favorable weather and bountiful crops, there is a drum performance to open the festival by the women of Doi Tam drum village, Tien Son commune, combined with a dragon dance.
Mr. Pham Tri Khang, a craftsman of Doi Tam drum village, read the presentation before the altar of Than Nong and the spirit tablet of King Le Dai Hanh.
According to legend, the Tich Dien festival originated from the reign of King Le Dai Hanh, who valued agriculture and lived close to the people. Realizing that the Doi River mountain area had an important strategic position for the capital Hoa Lu, after ascending the throne, in the spring of Dinh Hoi year (987), King Le Dai Hanh and his mandarins plowed the fields to encourage people to expand their farms and stabilize their lives.
From many historical sources and folk research, the Vietnam Institute of Culture and Arts (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) has developed a general scenario for the Tich Dien Doi Son festival. From 2009 to 2023, the Tich Dien Doi Son festival will be held based on this scenario, but with changes in the ritual of the king's spirit being carried out by a virtuous elder of the Doi Son region.
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc An, 75 years old, played the role of a king plowing the fields for the 6th time, opening the Tich Dien Doi Son festival in 2025, starting the new crop season.
The person chosen to play the role of the king must be a virtuous old farmer, in good health, with experience in plowing the fields...

This is also an opportunity for local people and tourists to remember their roots and educate the younger generation about the tradition of loving their ancestors' labor.
The Doi Son Tich Dien Festival is a unique cultural event, expressing the close relationship between people and the land, between people and nature. Every year, the festival not only continues to preserve traditional values but also serves as a bridge between the past and the present, helping the younger generation understand more about the history and culture of the nation. The festival is also a symbol of belief in a bountiful harvest, peace and prosperity for the people in the new year.
