In order to honor the nation's cultural traditions and promote the cultural values of the Thang Long royal court, the Thang Long - Hanoi Heritage Conservation Center will organize the program "Thang Long Doan Ngo Festival of the past" from June 21.
 |
The program includes two main activities: displaying and experiencing rituals along with a sparkling, ancient check-in space. The royal palace rituals on the Duanwu Festival of the Le Dynasty were for the first time systematically, vividly and realistically interpreted by the exhibition center through a system of panels and paintings, especially the simulation of the solemn and respectful royal court space, the majestic emperor sitting on the throne holding court, writing poems on fans and awarding fans to officials.
The Duanwu Festival was solemnly celebrated by the dynasties with royal rituals. According to tradition, the festival was also an occasion for the mandarins to receive rewards. The Duanwu Festival took place during hot weather, the fan was an essential cooling device, so in addition to the banquet, the king also gave out fans.
Fans were given to royal family members, civil and military mandarins, soldiers, servants, eunuchs... The grace of giving fans showed special care and concern for the people with the humanistic meaning of "Blessings, Health, Peace".
Although the fan is a small item, it has high usage value and contains many cultural and historical values. Therefore, the exhibition space continues to be highlighted by the fan collection with the unique fan style of the artisan family Lan Tuyet. This is a precious, high-class fan line often reserved for the ancient kings, mandarins, and nobles. To make this fan, one must be a talented artisan.
At the exhibition area of the annual traditional Doan Ngo Festival, unique customs of the people of the ancient Thang Long citadel such as the custom of wearing scented bags, tying five-color threads, applying realgar to children, the custom of picking medicinal leaves at noon, the custom of tying wormwood in the shape of zodiac animals... are still maintained through the reproduction of miniature images of Hang Quat and Hang Thuoc streets...
The program not only recreates the atmosphere of the Doan Ngo Festival through sophisticated, traditional dishes made by culinary artist Anh Tuyet; the fascinating, skillful and sophisticated fan-making secrets of artist Lan Tuyet, but also promises to bring visitors more spiritual experiences that can only be found at Thang Long Imperial Citadel.
