Many practical models to preserve and promote the value of cultural heritage

Ms. Ly Thi Hoa, Head of the Arts Club of Binh Lieu commune, teaches Then singing and Tinh lute to the commune's children.

The Binh Lieu Commune Arts Club was established in 2018 with 54 members who love Then singing and Tinh lute and want to spread traditional cultural heritage in the community, enriching the spiritual life of the people. Up to now, the club has over 200 members, maintaining practice on weekends at the cultural house.

During its operation, the Club has always been conscious of preserving and maintaining the ancient Then culture of the Tay ethnic group in Binh Lieu; collecting and practicing many rituals, ancient Then songs to pray for blessings, pray for crops, ancient Then dance, and Chau Then dance; regularly organizing classes to teach Then singing and Tinh lute to children and those who are passionate about this art form.

Ms. Ly Thi Hoa, Club President, shared: Since I was 13 years old, I started learning Then singing, Tinh lute and have become more and more passionate about the traditional art form of my people. Then singing has been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. I hope that the unique cultural features of my people will be known by many people and be of interest to young people. Through the performances of the Club at festivals, performances, and exchanges of Vietnamese culture, I hope to spread the values of traditional culture to people and tourists.
