CULTURE OF ETHNIC MINORITIES IN THE WEST OF NGHE AN IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT

Abstract

Nghe An is a long-standing area inhabited by ethnic minorities such as: Thai, Tho, Hmong, Kho mu, O đu. It was in this land that the ethnic groups have together established villages, build “muong”, created cultural features imbued with ethnic identity, contributing to the formation of cultural characteristics of the western Nghe An. However, in the flow of socio-economic life, the influence of the guidelines and policies of the State, in the past few decades, many traditional cultural phenomena in the lives of ethnic groups are on a declining trend and increasingly disappearing. The article presents the results of research on the culture of ethnic minorities in Western Nghe An in the current context, thereby proposing a number of solutions to contribute to preserving and promoting the cultural identity of ethnic minorities in the western region of Nghe An.
