Hanoi - where the soul of the mountains and rivers has settled for thousands of years, not only has preserved the cultural soul of the capital for generations, but each street and river seems to bear the mark of a long-standing tradition. Hanoi itself has countless cultural attractions, and the flow of time has not only embellished the cultural imprints but also molded a resilient and indomitable Hanoi. Especially, in the Ho Chi Minh era, the capital has truly become a symbol of the revolutionary spirit, a place where traditional cultural values and modern breath converge.
According to writer and journalist Nguyen Ngoc Tien, who is known as the "Historian of Hanoi", the identity or character of Hanoians can be summarized as a way of life and behavior. Hanoians have a very elegant, delicate, and refined way of behaving. The character of Hanoians can be summarized in six words: open-minded, sophisticated, and chivalrous. Hanoians also possess the common characteristics of Vietnamese people: bravery, resilience, tolerance, and peace... All of these are refined and refined to create a very unique lifestyle, manner of behavior, and character of Trang An people.
The elegance and beauty of the ancient Hanoians are reflected in their standard, gentle pronunciation; simple, elegant dress; humble, hospitable communication; elegant, calm eating habits; always caring, respectful, and humble. Hanoians value and cherish the cultural values of family and family traditions because they are the cradle that creates future generations for the country. Parents and grandparents are always exemplary models for their children and grandchildren to follow.
Over the past 70 years, Hanoi has transformed itself into a more developed and modernized city, leading to many changes in the pace of urban life as well as the lifestyle of urban residents. However, in that flow, there are still many families that preserve the traditions, elegance and splendor of the old Hanoians.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Hoai Son - Standing Member of the National Assembly's Committee on Culture and Education, the elegant culture of Hanoians is the result of the crystallization of cultural values in the lifestyle and behavior over thousands of years of history of the capital - the land where people and professions gather and all of those values shine.
"Quintessence of convergence" is a saying that highlights the comprehensiveness of Hanoi in the capital, from the way of eating, dressing to the culture, art and architecture, all show the best things converging from all directions. However, the quintessence of the capital seems to be felt most clearly from the simple and honest things through the people of Hanoi. That beauty is not only shown in the way of dressing, walking, speaking but also in the awareness of beautifying oneself and for the people around.
According to writer Nguyen Ngoc Tien, the hustle and bustle of life combined with the hustle and bustle of work and countless worries have caused elegance to change somewhat in modern society when Hanoi has to face many challenges in preserving old customs.
"Another impact on the change in lifestyle and behavioral culture of Hanoians is that after 1954, when we built a new society, the concepts were also different. For example, all beliefs were considered old-fashioned and feudal; or elegant features were considered bourgeois lifestyle. But later, fortunately, we reconsidered and changed those concepts. Lifestyle is not something that is immutable. But until today, although exogenous culture has impacted, then lifestyle changes, society changes, the environment changes, leading to changes in living culture and behavioral culture, but I firmly affirm that those changes are based on something old. And no matter what, culture, behavior, elegance, tact, and grace are still like a continuous ocean current.
If today's Hanoi citizens know how to create "cultural identities" for Hanoi, those values will be the spiritual foundation, becoming a very important source of endogenous strength for the capital to develop sustainably, civilly and elegantly," writer Nguyen Ngoc Tien affirmed.
Even if it is not fragrant, it is still jasmine/ Even if it is not elegant, it is still a person from Trang An. Many people may think that in modern Hanoi life, those beautiful cultural features seem to have faded. But in reality, many people are still quietly preserving the character of Hanoians, preserving the space that bears the indelible mark of the thousand-year-old capital.
