History is the fulcrum, culture is the source of endogenous strength, people are the source of all resources. Deeply aware of that, in order to promote the potential and advantages of the land likened to "Vietnam in miniature", on July 4, 2024, the Executive Committee of the Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 17-NQ/TU on continuing to build and develop the culture and people of Thanh Hoa in the new period. This is the first time the Provincial Party Committee has issued a resolution on building and developing the culture and people of Thanh Hoa.

Deeply aware of what we have, carrying with us respect and pride, throughout the journey of construction and development, even in the most difficult and life-threatening moments, the land and people of Thanh always know how to rely on layers upon layers of precious historical values and cultural quintessence to confidently move forward.
The spirit of the "armed troops" from all over Thanh Hoa's countryside rushing to transport food and weapons to serve the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954; the "epic" victories at Ham Rong, Lach Truong, and Ghep ferry... during the fierce years of fighting against the US evoke in each of us images of the glorious past. That was when Ba Trieu recruited soldiers, sharpened swords and practiced martial arts day and night on Nua mountain, determined to rise up against the Ngo invaders. Or the Lam Son uprising under the leadership of Binh Dinh King Le Loi won, ending 21 years of brutal rule by the Ming Dynasty... In the aspiration to fly high and reach far of Thanh Hoa today, there is a shining light from the time when Lord Nguyen Hoang brought his sword to open up the country, carving out the shape of the country: "If Le Loi had not raised troops to chase away the invaders/ The name of the country Nam would have disappeared from the earth/ If Thanh Hoa had not had Nguyen Hoang to open up the land/ How could our Fatherland reach Ca Mau?" (Thanh Hoa, Tran Manh Hao)...
Building and developing Thanh Hoa culture and people comprehensively to meet the requirements of sustainable development is identified as one of the top, strategic and core tasks. In recent years, Party committees and authorities at all levels from the province to the grassroots have paid attention, led and guided the construction and development of Thanh Hoa culture and people to meet the requirements of industrialization, modernization and deep international integration. The work of preserving and promoting traditional cultural values (tangible culture, intangible culture) has received attention. The system of cultural institutions has been invested in and improved in quality. In 2024, Thanh Hoa will have 4 more intangible cultural heritages of the province recognized as National Intangible Cultural Heritages; many unique traditional festivals have been held, attracting a large number of people and tourists to participate.
Literary and artistic creative activities have developed more actively, cultural and artistic movements, physical training and sports among the masses have been strongly developed; the material and spiritual life of the people has been significantly improved. In 2024, in the whole Thanh Hoa province, it is estimated that 83% of households will be recognized as cultural families, 82.3% of villages, hamlets and residential groups will be recognized as cultural residential areas. These are important factors in building and improving the quality of grassroots cultural life, nurturing the intelligence, soul, physique and personality of each individual, contributing to continuing to build and develop Thanh Hoa culture and people in the new period.
To arouse "endogenous resources", history - culture - people are truly "soft power", the driving force for development, on July 4, 2024, the Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee issued Resolution No. 17-NQ/TU on continuing to build and develop Thanh Hoa culture and people in the new period. Resolution No. 17-NQ/TU is the crystallization of the will, efforts, determination, and deep concern of the Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee in deploying and implementing the task of building and developing Vietnamese culture and people in general, Thanh Hoa culture and people in particular; the result of the process of nurturing and careful preparation through many generations of leaders, inherited through the periods.
This is the first time the Provincial Party Committee has issued a resolution on building and developing Thanh Hoa culture and people. The viewpoints and objectives of Resolution No. 17-NQ/TU show the absorption, flexible and creative application of President Ho Chi Minh's thoughts on building and developing culture and people into practice. The Resolution is both a legacy and shows a strategic vision, innovation in both thinking and action on building and developing culture and people to meet the requirements and tasks of Thanh Hoa province in particular and the whole country in general in the new situation. Accordingly, Resolution No. 17-NQ/TU is built on 4 main viewpoints. Thanh Hoa culture and people are a solid material and spiritual foundation, an endogenous resource, an important driving force for the province's rapid and sustainable development. Cultural development must be placed on par with economics, politics and society; investment in culture and people is investment for rapid and sustainable development. Building and developing Thanh Hoa culture and people on the basis of preserving and promoting the fine traditional cultural values of the homeland; at the same time, proactively and selectively absorbing the quintessence of national and contemporary culture, ensuring suitability and enriching the cultural values of the homeland.
Building and developing Thanh Hoa culture and people is a regular, continuous, long-term task, closely linked together. The core focus of cultural development is to build people who are comprehensively developed and have noble personalities. Maximizing the human factor; taking people as the center, subject, main resource and goal of development. Building and developing Thanh Hoa culture and people is the responsibility of the entire political system and the entire people, under the leadership of Party committees at all levels, the management and administration of the government; promoting the advisory and coordination role of all levels, sectors, the Fatherland Front, and organizations, especially the awareness and responsibility of each cadre, Party member and the role of cultural creative subjects of all classes of people. The Resolution sets out the goal of “... focusing on investing resources for comprehensive development of culture and people, creating a solid material and spiritual foundation, truly becoming an important driving force and endogenous strength to promote Thanh Hoa's rapid and sustainable development; striving to become a rich, civilized and modern province by 2030; and by 2045, a comprehensively developed and "model" province of the whole country”.
During his lifetime, the late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong once stated: “Culture plays an important role in educating and nurturing people’s qualities, ethics, and personalities, enhancing national character and awareness, preserving national identity, developing the market economy without destroying social moral values”, “integrating without dissolving”. With many innovative contents, closely following the reality of the province and the country, the promulgation and extensive implementation of Resolution No. 17-NQ/TU has created a stronger change in the awareness and actions of Party committees, authorities, sectors, levels, cadres, party members and people of all walks of life in the province on the task of building and developing culture and people to meet the requirements of sustainable development of the province. History - culture - people are three important factors, creating a solid “tripod”, “endogenous resources”, “soft power” for the aspiration of Thanh Hoa to fly high and reach far.
