BTO-In recent years, along with the implementation of the Central Government's policies, Binh Thuan province has issued specific policies to comprehensively develop the people's lives and the socio -economy of ethnic minority areas. In particular, the preservation and promotion of the value of traditional costumes of ethnic minorities are focused on, contributing to sustainable development and enriching the cultural treasures of ethnic groups.
Preserving traditional costumes
Binh Thuan currently has 35 ethnic groups living together, such as Kinh, Cham, Raglai, Hoa, Kho, Cho-ro, Tay, Nung... After language, costumes are the second sign of information to distinguish one ethnic group from another, expressing the unique cultural beauty of each ethnic group. Implementing the policy of preserving, maintaining and promoting traditional costumes of ethnic minorities, Binh Thuan province has directed relevant sectors to regularly coordinate and advise on many activities to bring culture to the grassroots, especially maintaining and organizing festivals, restoring and organizing traditional ceremonies, festivals and New Year of the ethnic groups. Thereby creating a cultural space for ethnic groups to have the opportunity to wear traditional costumes with many distinct nuances. At the same time, it is also an opportunity to promote and introduce traditional costumes associated with local tourism development.
Implementing Resolution 04/NQ-TU of the Provincial Party Committee on comprehensive development of people's lives, economy and society in ethnic minority areas, the province has paid attention to restoring and developing traditional craft villages in ethnic minority areas. Initially, the craft villages have organized training for young generations and sewn traditional costumes to serve their communities, especially costumes for monks, dignitaries, intellectuals, and some elderly people to use daily with fabric taken from products made by themselves or exchanged from neighboring provinces.
In recent times, the Provincial Ethnic Committee has proactively coordinated with departments, branches and localities to provide information and disseminate the Party and State's policies and laws to village chiefs, dignitaries, village elders, prestigious people and civil servants in the system of agencies working on ethnic affairs at the provincial and district levels. Through conferences and training courses, combined with propaganda, this group of peoplehas educated their children and the community to build a new lifestyle, promote good customs and practices and traditional costumes of their ethnic groups...
Promoting cultural values
However, the rapid development of society and cultural exchange between regions today have caused ethnic minorities, especially the young generation, to change their habit of wearing traditional costumes to popular costumes. Most traditional costumes are no longer widely used in daily life. The process of making a traditional costume is no longer original, the details that require investment and research, and the sophistication of ethnic groups are not as sophisticated as before.
Although there is interest in investing and restoring brocade weaving villages, these villages are small-scale, have outdated equipment, most of their products do not have labels or brands, and their product quality is not high. Due to the lack of connection and cooperation in production and consumption associated with on-site tourism services, the villages in La Da, Phan Hoa, and Phan Thanh have ceased operations. On the other hand, artisans who know the traditional craft of weaving and sewing costumes are increasingly fading away, with only a few individual households preserving the traditional craft.
To continue promoting and developing the traditional costumes of ethnic minorities effectively, the Provincial Ethnic Committee is continuing to promote propaganda and mobilization to raise awareness for ethnic minorities to see the unique cultural value of traditional costumes, national pride, in which special attention is paid to the young generation. At the same time, doing a good job of mobilizing, taking advantage of and promoting the role of religious dignitaries, prestigious people, and village elders in propaganda work to raise awareness of ethnic minorities about the policy of preserving and promoting the cultural values of their ethnic groups.
In addition, research and coordinate with relevant departments, agencies and sectors to organize cultural, artistic and sports activities through competitions, performances and festivals, including ethnic costume competitions to promote and attract tourists to visit and exchange traditional culture in localities. Build a website to introduce and promote traditional costumes associated with introducing and promoting the culture of ethnic minorities in the locality. It is also hoped that there will be more special preferential policies for typical artisans, those who preserve and teach the production of traditional costumes to help them feel secure in their traditional profession. Encourage, reward, commend and set typical examples for individuals who have made many contributions to preserving and spreading the traditional cultural values of ethnic groups...
“Maintaining traditional costume competitions and requiring students to wear their ethnic costumes at secondary school level and above when going to school is one of the solutions to educate ideology, creating pride and responsibility to preserve and promote the value of traditional cultural heritage of ethnic minorities,” said Mr. Lam Tan Binh, former Director of the Provincial Cham Cultural Exhibition Center.
