Decision to include in the list of national intangible cultural heritage: "Folk knowledge about Ngoc Linh ginseng, Nam Tra My district ( Quang Nam )" signed by Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung on May 29, 2025.
The Decision takes effect from the date of signing and replaces Decision No. 1355/QD-BVHTTDL dated May 14, 2025 on the announcement of the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
Previously, in May 2024, the People's Committee of Quang Nam province sent an official dispatch to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism regarding the proposal to include in the list of national intangible cultural heritage the folk knowledge of exploiting, growing and processing Ngoc Linh ginseng in Nam Tra My district.
Accordingly, Ngoc Linh ginseng is popularly known as the "hidden medicine" plant. For ethnic minorities, this is considered a panacea with the effect of curing diseases and improving health.
Living off nature, since ancient times, ethnic minorities living around Ngoc Linh mountain range, especially the Xo Dang ethnic group, have known about a precious medicinal plant growing in the primeval forests.
This is a folk knowledge with unique historical and cultural values associated with slash-and-burn agriculture and forest economy . Through the process of practicing the heritage, the local community has accumulated many valuable experiences to form a folk knowledge system about Ngoc Linh ginseng.
The folk knowledge of exploiting, growing and processing Ngoc Linh ginseng of ethnic minorities in Nam Tra My district can be considered a valuable treasure, both of cultural value and of great significance for socio-economic development.
