Attending the event were Standing Committee member of the City Party Committee, Permanent Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Thanh Binh, representatives from various departments and agencies, Hue researchers, and students from Phan Sao Nam and To Huu Secondary Schools.

According to Mr. Hoang Viet Trung, Director of the Hue Imperial City Relics Conservation Center, the event not only honors reading culture but also opens up a special experiential journey, bringing the public, especially young people, closer to the historical and artistic values of the nation through the Nine Bronze Tripods. Each relief casting on the nine bronze tripods is like a page of history in images, telling the story of the Nguyen dynasty's aspiration for peace and stability.

The highlight of the program is the creative combination of heritage and digital technology . A vibrant 3D space recreates the Nine Bronze Tripods with exquisite detail, allowing viewers to clearly appreciate the renowned bronze casting skills of the ancients. Simultaneously, a short documentary film reveals the meticulous process of crafting and deciphering each image, imbued with cultural and historical symbolism, from dragons and phoenixes to mountains, rivers, and natural phenomena like rain and wind.

At the event, documents and 162 images of the nine bronze cauldrons, displayed on traditional Vietnamese dó paper, attracted attention. The exquisite details of the relief carvings were realistically depicted on this traditional material, allowing viewers not only to admire but also to gain a deeper understanding of the art and ideas hidden within each cauldron. Students were able to directly experience this by reproducing the images and relief carvings on handmade paper, creating unique works of art, and appreciating the sophistication of relief carving art and the cultural, historical, and natural values associated with each piece. "Through this exploration and experience, we hope to ignite a sense of heritage pride and nurture love for our homeland in every citizen, especially the younger generation," Mr. Trung said.
