The essence converges at the Thang Long

“Heritage Convergence” brings a colorful picture of traditional Vietnamese culture with the participation of artisans, creators and typical craft villages from all over the country. The space for exhibition, performance, and guidance on experiencing handicrafts is harmoniously combined with contemporary creative elements, creating a “living museum” where heritage can be “touched”, “heard”, “seen” and “felt” with all the senses.

Many traditional craft village spaces are introduced at the festival.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports Le Thi Anh Mai emphasized that Hanoi - the land of a thousand years of civilization - has always been a place where the quintessence of national culture converges and spreads. The convergence of heritage is a testament to that spirit, a place that connects traditional values with contemporary creativity, linking the past with the present, culture with creative development.

According to Ms. Le Thi Anh Mai, the theme “Heritage Convergence” represents the vision and aspiration of the Capital in building Hanoi into a creative center of the region and the world . Not only connecting the three ancient capitals of Hoa Lu - Thang Long - Phu Xuan, the program is also a meeting point of cultural regions from North to South, from the fertile Red River Delta to the majestic Central Highlands.

Director of the Center for Cultural and Scientific Activities of the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam Le Xuan Kieu said that from November 1 to 16, the relic will host a series of rich activities within the framework of the festival, including exhibitions and experiences of craft villages, Ho Van creative space, the art program "On the Heritage Road" and many exhibitions and international exchanges. This year's activities are breathed new life, connecting tradition - modernity, heritage - creativity, making the Temple of Literature a meeting place of culture, art and knowledge.

The highlight of the program is the space to introduce and promote typical products of craft villages in Hanoi, Hue, Ninh Binh and the Central Highlands, along with three art nights “Ao Dai on the Heritage Road”, “Oh Hanoi” and “The Red River Calls, the Great Forest Roars”. The exhibitions “Thanh Tan Hanoi” and “Heritage with the Future” also contribute to honoring thousand-year-old cultural values in a modern breath.
