On the afternoon of March 4, in Hanoi, a press conference was held about the art program of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Exchange with the theme "Linh Lang - Sacred Spirit Convergence - Long Bien Shines". Accordingly, the program will take place at 8:10 p.m. on March 8, 2025 at the Truong Lam Communal House and Pagoda Relic Complex, Viet Hung Ward, Long Bien District, Hanoi.
According to the genealogy compiled by the Academician Nguyen Binh in 1572, Duc Thanh Linh Lang Dai Vuong was Prince Hoang Lang, son of King Ly Thanh Tong and his mother was Princess Hao Nuong. He contributed greatly to defeating the Song invaders who invaded our country at the end of the 11th century. To commemorate his merits, the king conferred on him the title "Linh Lang Dai Vuong Thuong Dang Phuc Than" and ordered the construction of a temple on Long Thu hill, now Voi Phuc Temple, to worship him. Many places in our country also built temples to worship him.
The program "Linh Lang - Sacred Spirit Convergence - Long Bien Shines" is held on the occasion of the Linh Lang Dai Vuong Festival taking place in many localities across the country, including 13 places worshiping Linh Lang Dai Vuong in Long Bien district, especially the Truong Lam Communal House Festival - a festival listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2018.
Sharing at the press conference, Mr. Nguyen Manh Ha, Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Long Bien District said that the program is expected to recreate the legend of Linh Lang Dai Vuong in the most unique way; introduce and disseminate traditional rituals and beliefs of 13 Linh Lang worshiping establishments in the district; perform the traditional "snake shedding" dance ritual of Truong Lam Communal House Festival, to honor historical values, cultural quintessence and express people's beliefs and aspirations in life.

“The program plays an extremely important role and significance, and is the premise and basis for Long Bien District to elevate the Linh Lang God worshiping festivals, concretizing the policy of preserving and promoting intangible cultural heritages and developing cultural industries in the district,” Mr. Nguyen Manh Ha emphasized.
The theme “Linh Lang-Sacred energy converges-Long Bien shines” contains a profound message connecting the past-present-future, affirming the spiritual strength and efforts to develop breakthroughs in the new era, expressing pride in a land rich in cultural traditions, always moving forward with patriotism and aspirations to rise up.
To highlight that theme, the art program “Linh Lang-Sacred Air Convergence-Long Bien Shines” is presented in a semi-realistic format combined with 3D mapping technology. There, the blend of folk and modern music and lighting technology will show the continuous flow of history through many periods.
