Discovering ‘coffin museum’

Po Cung Grotto on Pha Hang Mountain in Thanh Hoa Province is the largest grotto cemetery in Vietnam. The grotto is 10m high, divided into three parts with two doors of 5m high. It is the cemetery for 74 ancient coffins made of tree-trunks. Most of them are quite intact. Anthropologists explained that instead of burying dead people, some ethnic groups put dead people in caves. In Vietnam, this practice was popular during the Dong Son era. Archaeologists discovered coffins dating back to the first century in Thailand caves and coffins from the 5th century BCE to the early 20th century in China's caves. Coffins in the form of dug-out canoes in Po Cung grotto are the first of their kind to be discovered in Vietnam. These coffins are made of tree-trunks and they are placed on wooden brackets. The biggest coffins are 2.8m long, 0.48m wide and the smallest are 1.4m long and 0.28m wide. Many coffins don't have bones inside. Scientists observed that this grotto may be a cemetery of several big families and they still want to know how they brought the coffins into the grotto, which is located high on the mountain. After Po Cung grotto was discovered several years ago in Quan Hoa district, officials have combined with the Institute for Archaeology to research the grotto. The provincial government aims to turn it into a tourist site.

Spring Ploughing Festival, a traditional farming practice

Le Tich Dien or Ploughing Ceremonial Festival was a traditional farming practice that has greatly impacted on agricultural production in Vietnam. Agriculture always plays an important role in Vietnam's national economy. All Kings of the past dynasties attached great importance to promoting agricultural production. Le Tich Dien (Ploughing Ceremonial Festival) was held in the capital every spring. The King ploughed a piece of field to pray to Shennong for good weather and a bumper harvest. According to legend, the Ploughing Ceremonial Festival originates from China. Shennong, also called Yan Emperor, was the god who invented farming in the mythology of ancient China. He taught people how to cultivate crops and to establish markets for trading. So they called him Shennong, which means the god of farming. In Vietnam, the first Le Tich Dien was held in 987 AD, during the reign of King Le Dai Hanh in the then capital of Hoa Lu. The king, himself acted as master of the ceremony and went down to the field to plough. After the king ploughed three furrows, all mandarins followed him to the field. Each of them ploughed five, seven or nine furrows depending on their grades. Kings of the following dynasties all maintained this practice and Le Tich Dien became an important ceremonial festival of the royal court. Le Tich Dien was held throughout the Ly, Tran and Le dynasties to promote agricultural production. In 1484, King Le Thanh Tong built a Dan Tien Nong in Hoang Mai village on the outskirts of Thang Long capital. The king went there every spring to pray for Shennong and ploughed the field. Thanks to this agricultural promotion policy, Vietnam's economy in this period developed vigorously and people became more prosperous. The Nguyen dynasty (1802-1945) considered Le Tich Dien one of the three most important ceremonies. King Minh Mang who was known as the King of Farmers held Le Tich Dien in a stately manner. The Tich Dien compound was built within the imperial city of Hue in front of Phu Xuan village's communal house (which now belongs to Tay Loc ward) on an area of about 6 ha. After the Tich Dien ceremony in the imperial city, people from all parts of the country held the Le Xuong Dong or Ploughing the Field ceremony. Le Tich Dien was the most important ceremony of the year during the feudal times. It was also an opportunity for kings, mandarins and lords to undertand the hard work of farmers. Nowaday, the Tich Dien compound in Hue no longer exists. However, many villages in Thua Thien- Hue still hold the ploughing ceremony every year to mark the ancient Tich Dien ceremonial festival. Particularly in 2009 and 2010, with the support from the Government, Tich Dien was held in Doi Son, Duy Tien district, Ha Nam province where the first ceremony was held by King Le Dai Hanh in 987AD. It was attended by State President Nguyen Minh Triet and other officials of ministries and state agencies. Le Tich Dien or Ploughing Ceremonial Festival was a traditional farming practice that has greatly impacted on agricultural production in Vietnam.

Vietnam now boasts 15 world heritages

The recent recognition of Vietnam's Ho Dynasty Citadel by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage brought the number of world natural, cultural and documentary heritages possessed by Vietnam to 15. Ha Long Bay Of the three world natural heritages, Ha Long Bay in the northern province of Quang Ninh was honoured as a wonderful masterpiece of nature with 1,969 islands. With an outstanding landscape, the 1,553 sq. km bay was officially placed on the list of the World Natural Heritage by UNESCO in 1994. Six years later, it was recognised as a World Natural Heritage by the organisation for the second time for its geological and geomorphological values. Boasting a unique beauty of limestone mountains, the Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park in the central province of Quang Binh was included in the list of World Natural Heritage in 2003 for its geological and geomorphological values. It was also being proposed for inscription into the list for a second time, in terms of biological diversity. Covering an area of 2,350 sq. km, Dong Van Stone Plateau in the northern province of Ha Giang is home to 45 geomorphological heritages, 33 tectonic heritages and numerous fossils in the sedimentary stone strata. The plateau was honoured by UNESCO in 2010. To date Vietnam had ten world cultural heritages, including five tangible cultural ones – the imperial city of Hue, the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty which was recognised in 1993; Hoi An Old Quarters, a busy trading port between the 16 th century and the 19 th century and My Son holy land, the central prayer and worship ceremony place of Cham Pa reigns in the central province of Quang Nam recognised in 1999; Thang Long Royal Citadel, constructed by Vietnam's dynasties which won the recognition in 2010; and the only stone citadel in Vietnam – the Citadel of the Ho Dynasty, which was recognised in 2011. Five world intangible cultural heritages were Hue Royal court music recognised in 2003, the cultural space of gongs in the Central Highlands region in 2005, the Bac Ninh love duet folk music and the ceremonial singing in 2009, and the Giong festival in 2010. Hue Royal court music was often played in royal festivals under the Nguyen Dynasty between the 17th century and the 19th century. The cultural space of gongs in the Central Highlands was a special activity closely tied to community cultural rituals and ceremonies of ethnic groups in Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Lam Dong provinces. Meanwhile, with the diversified tunes and singing contents, love duet singing, often performed on the occasion of lunar New Year in villages, reflected the colourful life and outstanding cultural features of Kinh Bac people. The ceremonial singing was an traditional genre of music featuring female vocalists who sang while playing music on bamboo tablets. It was especially popular in the 15th century. The Giong festival was held annually in several parts of northern Vietnam , most typically in the Phu Dong and Soc Temples in Hanoi , to commemorate Saint Giong, one of the immortal quartet in Vietnamese legends. Vietnam also had two UNESCO world documentary heritages, including 82 stone stelae engraved with names of doctorate holders during the Le and Mac dynasties (1442-1779) in the Temple of Literature. The stelae were placed on the lists of the World Documentary Heritage in Asia-Pacific in 2010 and the World Memory in 2011. Another heritage was the wood blocks used for rudimentary printing during the Nguyen dynasty era (1802-1945). Apart from their historical values, the blocks were also artistically and technically precious, since they marked the beginning and development of wood-block carving and printing in Vietnam. They entered the list of the World Memory in 2009.
