Peaceful and fresh images of Hue Tet on the Government Information page

In the poetic space on the banks of the Perfume River, the mascot symbol of the year of the Snake placed in the Quoc Hoc stele yard has left a beautiful mark, an inspiration, a message of creativity on the foundation of heritage, so that heritage, which is sediment, has blended into the breath of life.

A Hue mark when during the At Ty New Year, in the midst of the sea of ​​information, the Government Information fanpage with 5.7 million followers dedicated more than 10 photos to post the mascot symbol of the At Ty year of Hue from many angles, leaving in the eyes of followers a surge of emotions about a peaceful, splendid, and fresh Hue.

Not only is the space beautiful, the design of Hue's snake mascot this year is also a cultural symbol, inspired by the motif of the Mang Xa carved on the Huyen Dinh and Nghiem Xa, carved on the Anh Dinh of the Cuu Dinh.

Cast in 1835 under the reign of Minh Mang, the Nine Tripods - nine bronze cauldrons - are considered an artistic masterpiece, a national treasure, a set of "Geography of Brief History" of Vietnam in the early 19th century, recorded in a visual language with a total of 162 elaborately embossed motifs, associated with Nine stars and nature in the universe; Nine great mountains; Nine great rivers; Nine canals and other rivers; Nine seaports, gates, seas, rainbows; Nine large four-legged animals; Nine sacred animals; Nine species of birds; Nine types of food crops; Nine types of vegetables; Nine types of flowers; Nine types of fruit trees; Nine types of precious medicinal herbs; Nine types of woody plants; Nine types of weapons; Nine species of fish, snails, insects; Nine types of boats, carriages, flags.

Recognized by the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Memory of the World Committee as a World Documentary Heritage, the 162 relief motifs on the Nine Tripod Cauldrons not only have timeless documentary value. They are also a source of economic and cultural potential for Hue if it knows how to exploit the applied value of the heritage in contemporary life, of which the mascot symbol of At Ty on the Huong River is an example.

During the New Year's Eve of the Year of the Snake this year, in an interview with Vietnam Television, in front of the Ngu Phung pavilion - Hue Imperial City, Mr. Nguyen Khoa Diem, former member of the Politburo, former Head of the Central Committee for Cultural Ideology, said that cultural heritage is the identity and also the foundation for Hue's development. The work and strategy to preserve and promote the cultural heritage values ​​for the purpose of economic growth are like the wings of a bird, which will help Hue fly high and far.

Recently, sharing his views with Hue Today Newspaper on the strategy to promote the cultural heritage values ​​of Hue City under the Central Government, researcher Nguyen Xuan Hoa - former Director of the Department of Culture and Information asked: Although the ao dai has been preserved, promoted, and its value promoted, but looking back, have the ao dai been effectively exported to other provinces? Are there ready-made products for export to the world? Hue's cakes are very sophisticated, but have they become items brought to supermarkets or exported to other provincial markets?...

Not only the Ao Dai or Hue cakes, the suggestions from the patterns on the Nine Urns; 360 Hue Tuong masks that have just been restored and displayed at the ancient Duyet Thi Duong Theater before the Tet At Ty or the beautiful woodblock paintings that have been preserved for hundreds of years and have just been displayed on the occasion of the recent Tet, show the ability to apply the heritage content to the economic and social life of Hue very closely and clearly, like a ready treasure, waiting for policies and methods to awaken; so that the heritage will take Hue far away on the wings of conservation and development.
