In the current context of globalization and international integration, preserving and spreading Vietnamese cultural identity has become extremely important. Culture is not only a mark of history and national traditions but also a key factor in affirming a country's position on the world map.
Preserving and promoting cultural identity helps Vietnamese people feel proud of their origins, traditions and national history, and is also a way to protect spiritual values from the “invasion” of foreign cultures. This is even more important when globalization can lead to assimilation, gradually losing the uniqueness of each nation.
A unique cultural identity will easily create attraction and impression in international exchange and cooperation. Vietnamese culture is not only a soft factor promoting diplomacy but also a potential for tourism, economy and creative industries. From Ao Dai, Pho, Conical Hat to folk songs and traditional arts, they all represent the spirit and soul of Vietnam. Therefore, preserving and spreading cultural identity is not only preserving heritage but also a responsibility to the future.
It can be said that cultural identity is the priceless treasure that every Vietnamese inherits and carries with them. These are values that have existed for thousands of years, connecting Vietnamese people with their roots and also the strength to bring the nation far into the integrated world. Each cultural value not only reflects tradition but is also a source of pride, a link between the past, present and future.
Folk songs, royal court music, cheo plays, tuong plays, cai luong plays or traditional festivals carry within them the soul of the nation. They are not only heritages that need to be preserved but also an endless source of inspiration for creativity and cultural exchange with the world. Every Vietnamese person, wherever they are, carries within them a part of that heritage, serving as a bridge to promote Vietnamese culture globally.
If we consider Vietnamese cultural identity as a special "passport" for Vietnamese people when entering international integration, it is not just a symbol, but a collection of unique, profound and eternal values, reflecting the nature, spirit and creativity of the nation.
I believe that in the journey of building a Vietnamese “cultural passport” and creating an independent, self-reliant culture, the young generation of Vietnam plays a pioneering and pivotal role. They are the ones who carry new energy, a thirst for creativity and are the bridge between tradition and modernity.
First of all, the young generation is the one who keeps the fire burning and spreads traditional cultural values, enlivening and integrating those values into the times. With a new approach, they know how to exploit digital platforms and social networks to convey cultural beauty around the world.
Young people are also representatives of creativity and innovation, helping Vietnamese culture not only stand firm but also develop more strongly in the context of integration. They carry within them a spirit of endless creativity, ready to absorb progressive values from the international community, and are not afraid to experiment and innovate contemporary art and cultural forms. The films, music and art works of the current young generation not only demonstrate talent and personality but also reflect stories and thoughts about the country, people and Vietnamese identity in the new era.
Moreover, young people are also the core force in spreading cultural values to the world, becoming “cultural ambassadors” through exchange activities, studying and working abroad. In a turbulent world, traditional values are sometimes overshadowed by the “wave” of modernization and globalization, young people are the ones who maintain identity, enriching Vietnamese culture by breathing new life into it.
