Mr. Bui The Nhan, Director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said: Ethnic culture is a valuable asset, preserving the identity and cultural diversity of ethnic groups has great political and social significance. The first Cultural Festival of Ethnic Minorities and Mountainous Areas of Binh Thuan Province is a large-scale cultural event of the province, aiming to implement the spirit of the Resolution of the 9th Conference of the Central Executive Committee of the Party (11th Term) on building and developing Vietnamese culture and people, meeting the requirements of sustainable development of the country.
This is an occasion to honor, preserve and promote the national cultural identity, associated with sustainable tourism development, contributing to economic development, caring for the material and spiritual life of the people, at the same time educating the tradition of patriotism, consolidating and strengthening the great national unity bloc, contributing to caring for the cultural life and developing the economy of ethnic minority areas. This is also an opportunity to introduce and promote the traditional cultural values of the ethnic groups of Binh Thuan to the people of the country and international tourists.
Within the framework of the Festival, typical cultural activities took place such as: Folk song, folk dance, folk music festival and performance of traditional costumes of ethnic minorities and mountainous areas with the theme "Sounds of mountains and forests"; exhibition space to introduce and promote local traditional culture...
At the end of the festival, the Organizing Committee awarded 7 A prizes; 5 B prizes; 4 C prizes and 20 Encouragement prizes for performances and individuals in the following categories: folk songs, folk dances, folk music, traditional costume performances, best actors, etc. In addition, the Organizing Committee also awarded the A prize for the entire group to the Bac Binh district group; the B prize for the entire group to the Ham Thuan Bac district group and the C prize for the entire group to the Tuy Phong and Duc Linh districts. The Ham Tan, Tanh Linh and Ham Thuan Nam groups received the Encouragement prize for the entire group.
In particular, within the framework of the Festival, a scientific seminar was held on "Current situation and solutions to preserve and promote traditional costumes of ethnic minorities and mountainous areas in Binh Thuan province".
With the theme “Preservation – Connection – Spread”, the Seminar is an opportunity for cultural managers and scientific researchers to review and re-evaluate the current status of traditional costumes of ethnic minorities in Binh Thuan. At the same time, propose good models and solutions in preserving and promoting the value of traditional costumes of ethnic minorities in the locality.
According to Mr. Bui The Nhan, the traditional costumes of ethnic minorities in Binh Thuan are very simple in content, imbued with national identity, closely linked to natural conditions; not only reflecting the culture of the community but also preserving historical and cultural nuances through the existence and development of each ethnic group.
However, with the current trend of market mechanism development and multi-dimensional cultural exchange between regions, traditional costumes of ethnic groups are at risk of fading away, changing and gradually losing the cultural values that are characteristic of each ethnic community. Traditional costumes are no longer commonly used by people in daily life and activities, but are only used on Tet, festivals, and community religious ceremonies. The craft of weaving and sewing costumes of the Cham, Raglai, K'ho, Choro... people is gradually fading away.
At the seminar, delegates said that in order to preserve and promote traditional costumes of ethnic minorities, there should be more policies, programs, plans and projects to support activities to preserve and maintain traditional cultural values. Local authorities, fronts and mass organizations at the commune level need to step up propaganda and education to raise awareness among ethnic minority communities, especially village elders, village chiefs, prestigious people, dignitaries, artisans, intellectuals and the younger generation in preserving and promoting the value of traditional costumes of the community.
