After the Lunar New Year ceremony, offering incense to commemorate the Ca Tru Craft Group, delegates, people, and visitors enjoyed the art program " Ca Tru Space Night", restored the singing and singing space of Ca Tru Night by parishes and clubs attending the ceremony such as Ca Tru Dong Mon Club, Ca Tru Hai Phong Parish, Dong Le Chan Ca Tru Club...
According to the festival festival and passed down historical documents, the Ca Tru craft group is the Confederation of Saintes Dinh Du thanh Xa Dai Vuong and Man Duong Hoa Hoa Tuong. The Holy Mother of the cross, Dinh Du, was a famous person, the son of a monk during the Later Le Dynasty, with talent in poetry and music. He met Mrs. Man Duong Hoa - who has a clear and delicate voice.
The talent and singing voice of the two were admired by the King, who assigned them the responsibility of opening a singing school in Lo Khe, founded the first Ara Ca singing ward, and laid the foundation for the Ca Tru art in the future. In recognition of that virtue, King Gia Long issued a decree, posthumously awarded the than chu "ding Du Thanh Sa Dai Vuong" and "man Duong Hoa Cong Tu", officially recognizing them as Saints of the Ca Tru profession.
To commemorate the profound merits of the two Craftsmen, in Dong Mon village, generations of students and people have established the Ca Cong Temple Relic, the current Phu Tu Dong Mon Temple. After many historical events, there were times when the relic was seriously degraded.
However, important artifacts are still preserved and conserved by local people, and later the temple was rebuilt on the old land to maintain worship, demonstrate respect and continue the flow of beliefs.
Speaking at the ceremony, the leader of the People's Committee of Hoa Binh Ward said that on October 1, 2009, UNESCO recognized Ca Tru of Vietnam as an Intangible Cultural Heritage that needs to be urgently protected. This is the pride not only of the people of Hoa Binh ward but of the entire Vietnamese nation, affirming the artistic value and cultural depth of this unique type.
It has become a tradition that on the 23rd and 24th of the 9th lunar month every year, the Party Committee, government and people of Hoa Binh ward organize the death anniversary of the Ca Tru Craft Group. This is a traditional spiritual and cultural activity, deeply demonstrating the morality of "remembering the source when drinking water" and gratitude for the merits of the Saint. Thereby, contributing to spreading the value of Ca Tru cultural heritage, arousing national pride, awareness of preserving and promoting cultural traditions in the community.
Hoa Binh Ward continues to affirm its pioneering role in the conservation and development of the world intangible cultural heritage of Ca Tru Dong Mon - the pride of Hai Phong homeland. In particular, the Party Committee and the government always care about and create conditions for the Dong Mon Ca Tru Club to operate regularly.
With 20 passionate core members, this is one of the few clubs in the whole city of Hai Phong that still maintains the passion and regular activities. The locality also focuses on breeding and developing the next generation.
Currently, Ca Tru classes for 30 students are being held regularly, demonstrating strategic investment in the future, which are fundamental steps to ensure the lasting vitality of Ca Tru on the heritage land.
