Quang Ninh has a diverse, rich, unique and traditional intangible cultural treasure of ethnic minorities.
Intangible cultural heritage is something that cannot be held, is a spiritual product associated with a community or individual, objects and related cultural spaces, has historical, cultural and scientific value, represents the identity of the community, is constantly recreated and passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, craft, performance and other forms. As an ancient land, with many ethnic groups, each ethnic group has its own unique cultural features, creating for Quang Ninh the richness and diversity of a unique cultural region. Quang Ninh currently has 362 intangible cultural heritages belonging to 7 types, including: 76 traditional folk festivals, 25 traditional craft heritages, 22 folk performing arts heritages, 14 folk language heritages, 168 social customs heritages, 7 spoken and written heritages, 50 folk knowledge heritages.
In particular, the folk performance genres are very rich, typically: Then singing of the Tay people, antiphonal singing, love singing on fishermen's boats in Ha Long Bay, dum singing on Ha Nam island (Quang Yen town), soong co singing of the San Chi people (Binh Lieu district and Tien Yen district), Dao folk singing (Ha Long city and Uong Bi city), Nha to singing, singing and dancing at the communal house gate in Van Ninh (Mong Cai city), Doan Ket commune (Van Don district), Dam Ha commune (Dam Ha district)...
There are nearly 80 large and small festivals taking place every year. Among them, there are large festivals that last for many days, especially those that are regional festivals, often attracting tourists from many provinces and cities. There is a fusion of regional cultures, a harmony between folk beliefs and the worship of historical figures in festivals in Quang Ninh. Meanwhile, many coastal festivals are influenced by agricultural festivals in the plains.
Up to now, Quang Ninh province has 15 national intangible cultural heritages, including: Then practice of the Tay, Nung, Thai people; hat nha to (hat cua dinh); folk performing art of singing soong co of the San Chi people and singing soong co of the San Diu people; festivals of Cua Ong temple, Tien Cong temple, Tra Co communal house, Quan Lan communal house, Dam Ha communal house, Van Ninh communal house, Bach Dang festival and Xuong dong festival; the wind abstinence custom of the Dao people in Dong Van commune; the cap sac ceremony of the Dao Thanh Y people (Ha Long city, Uong Bi, Cam Pha, Mong Cai, Van Don district, Ba Che, Binh Lieu, Tien Yen, Dam Ha, Hai Ha); the new rice celebration of the Tay people (Ha Long city, Cam Pha, Dong Trieu, Binh Lieu district, Tien Yen, Ba Che, Hai Ha, Dam Ha).
In particular, Quang Ninh also owns two heritages, including Then of the Tay people, one of 11 provinces with Then of the Tay, Nung, and Thai ethnic groups in Vietnam, and the practice of worshipping the Mother Goddess of the Three Realms of the Vietnamese people, which has been recognized by UNESCO as a representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
In recent years, the cultural sector and localities have actively implemented projects and plans to preserve and promote the cultural values of Quang Ninh ethnic groups. Awakening the potential value of intangible cultural heritages, Quang Ninh province has brought the exploitation of traditional art forms into rural village life, folk games into festivals and even into schools. Many folk singing clubs have been established. Many intangible cultural heritages of Quang Ninh ethnic groups have also been researched, collected and restored by the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and localities in coordination with the Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts.
