On May 31, the event "Happy Xoe Hoa dance" implemented by the project "Noong oi, Xoe di!" took place at the Hanoi Museum, attracting a large number of people and tourists to visit and experience.
The program is implemented by a group of third-year students from the Institute of Journalism and Communication, Academy of Journalism and Propaganda, with the desire to bring Thai Xoe Art closer to the public, especially young people.
At the event, visitors were immersed in the cultural space imbued with the Thai ethnic identity with traditional costume display areas, images of life and the unique cultural beauty of the Thai people.
Many people were excited to learn about the 6 ancient Xoe dances, learn basic Xoe movements and participate in the vibrant community Xoe round.
Sharing about the project implementation process, Ms. Tran Mai Nhi - project leader said that the group spent a lot of time learning about Thai culture in different localities because each region has its own unique features.
To get the most authentic documents, the members directly went to Muong Lo - Nghia Lo, met folk artisans, conducted interviews and recorded stories surrounding the Thai Xoe Art.
Not only bringing cultural experience activities, the program also introduces and organizes folk games, helping the public have the opportunity to explore traditional cultural life in a close and lively way.
Besides folk games and unique cultural spaces, Thai ethnic cuisine also leaves many impressions on tourists. Traditional dishes are prepared from familiar ingredients of the Northwest mountains and forests, bringing rich flavors and eye-catching colors.
Among them, five-color sticky rice is a typical dish, created from natural forest leaves, symbolizing the harmony of heaven and earth and the desire for a prosperous and happy life. Not only is it a dish, five-color sticky rice also reflects the cultural beauty and spirit of attachment to nature of the Thai ethnic people.
The highlight of the event is the seminar "The Story of Xoe" with the participation of artisan Hoang Thi Van and journalist Cao Tuan Ninh. Through practical stories, speakers shared many perspectives on cultural and historical values as well as the journey of preserving and promoting Thai Xoe Art in contemporary life.
Through a series of experiential activities, exchanges and seminars, the project "Noong oi, Xoe di!" not only contributes to promoting Thai national cultural heritage but also spreads the love of traditional culture to the community, especially the young generation.
