Tuyen Quang has more than 21,000 Mong people living in remote communes of Na Hang, Yen Son and Ham Yen districts. In recent years, together with other ethnic groups, Mong people have always complied with the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws; actively worked in production, developed the socio-economy, participated in patriotic emulation movements and campaigns; preserved and promoted the nation's fine cultural identity, especially in weddings and funerals.

Nowadays, the organization of weddings and funerals of the Mong people both inherits traditional customs and practices, has its own identity and is increasingly civilized to suit the development of society.

However, there are still some backward customs and practices in some places that are costly, time-consuming and wasteful of money. These negative impacts affect the traditional cultural beauty of the nation and are no longer suitable for the current development trend.
