Building and developing culture - Results of a journey

In the process of building and developing culture, people are always the main builders and beneficiaries. In recent times, all levels, sectors and localities have diversified information and propaganda, built a healthy cultural environment,... considering this as "soft power" to influence consciousness to build new, cultured and civilized people. Along with the values ​​of truth - goodness - beauty of Tay Ninh people, historical traditions and cultural heritages are also preserved and promoted. All of these combine to create strength in building and developing cultural life in Tay Ninh province.

Preserving heritage

In recent years, cultural and artistic activities have become increasingly diverse, contributing to the orientation of ideology and aesthetics, serving the cultural enjoyment needs of the people. In addition, the work of preserving and promoting the value of cultural heritages has been paid attention to, associated with the promotion of the image of Tay Ninh land and people through tourism promotion activities, initially attracting domestic, foreign and international tourists.

Every day, Ngoc Uyen rice paper factory of Ms. Nguyen Thi My Hien produces about 500kg of various types of soft rice paper.

Born and raised in Gia Loc ward (formerly Trang Bang town), Ms. Nguyen Thi My Hien is very familiar with her family's rice paper making job. Growing up, finishing university, she returned to her hometown and always wondered how to bring Trang Bang rice paper to more diners, helping to ease the hardships of rice paper makers in her hometown. She found the answer in her own business. Her Ngoc Uyen rice paper factory currently produces about 500kg of various types of rice paper, creating permanent and seasonal jobs for about 20 local workers.

“The seasonal workers at my workshop are mostly elderly people who stay at home to look after their grandchildren, and then come here at the end of the day to remove and weigh the cakes, etc. In recent years, the Trang Bang Rice Paper Culture and Tourism Festival has been organized to help many people know about Trang Bang rice paper. Thanks to participating in the festival, I have found more customers and it is also an opportunity for us to promote our hometown's specialties,” Ms. Hien shared.

The Don Ca Tai Tu Club under the Provincial Tourism Association operates at Tan Lap Floating Village Tourist Area.

With the effort and desire to preserve the good traditional values ​​of the homeland, Tay Ninh constantly tries to promote and bring culture to tourists near and far. Although established not long ago, the Don Ca Tai Tu Club (ĐCTT) under the Provincial Tourism Association has initially received attention. The Club was established with the desire to create a useful playground, thereby preserving and promoting the value of this traditional art form.

Head of the ĐCTT Club Nguyen Thi Hoang Oanh shared that the Club maintains activities once a month and is ready to accept invitations from tourist areas and spots to perform ĐCTT at tourism events to bring this art form closer to everyone. Deputy Director of the Provincial Culture and Arts Center Nguyen Thi Cam Chau said that ĐCTT is a tourism product that is "popular" with international tourists. Therefore, developing ĐCTT art associated with tourism is an effective direction, both creating motivation for artisans and amateurs, promoting traditional art forms and attracting tourists to Tay Ninh.

Information "bridges"

In addition to preserving and promoting good traditional cultural values, propaganda work and improving the rate of people's access to and enjoyment of information is also an important highlight in the journey of building cultural life in localities.

As a border commune, Binh Thanh has completed the use of a broadcasting system using information and telecommunications technology. With 39 loudspeaker clusters, the commune's propaganda information is covered, ensuring that people can access information in a timely manner.

Bui Thanh Truyen, a civil servant of Culture and Society of Binh Thanh Commune, said: “With the broadcasting system applying information and telecommunications technology, broadcasting news in the country and in the province is more convenient. The system is pre-programmed, so it saves time and effort. In addition, the commune also has community digital technology teams to ensure that information reaches the people promptly and fully.”

In Tan An ward, in order to facilitate the application of digital technology in daily life, the ward has deployed the installation of free wifi at the headquarters of the neighborhood cultural houses. According to the Head of the Department of Culture and Society of Tan An ward, Nguyen Hoang Phi, the ward has 18 neighborhoods, of which 12 neighborhoods have their own cultural houses, all of which have been installed with free wifi, and other neighborhoods are in the process of being surveyed. This is one of the ward's efforts to support people in accessing information, promoting digital transformation and improving the efficiency of community service.

When people change

From quick and effective access to information, people gradually change their thinking, apply science and technology to life, and gradually develop their family economy. In localities, in addition to supporting people to access loans, training courses and science and technology transfer are organized regularly, widely and are promoting positive effects.

With 1 hectare of lemon trees bearing fruit, Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Then (residing in Hamlet 61, Binh Thanh Commune) has a stable life. She said that before, her family had no land for production, so life was very difficult. Thanks to hard work and access to loans, she was able to buy 1 hectare of land. When lemon trees became a popular crop in Binh Thanh, she also switched to growing lemons, and since then, the family's economy has become increasingly stable.

“Since growing lemons, I have participated in many training courses, transferred science and technology, and also accessed loans to invest in production. Currently, my lemon garden has gradually applied high technology such as drip irrigation, keeping a farming diary, using fertilizers and pesticides according to regulations, isolating on the right day, etc. Thanks to that, the lemons always have high productivity, beautiful fruit, and a very stable income from the lemon garden,” Ms. Then shared.

Thanks to participating in many technical transfer training courses, Ms. Nguyen Thi Kim Then (residing in Hamlet 61, Binh Thanh Commune) has gradually produced lemons using high technology, bringing about efficiency.

Farmers applying high technology to production is no longer a strange thing in the current period. With the strong development of social life, farmers have the opportunity to access a lot of new knowledge and information in many forms, gradually changing their thinking, producing in a safe and sustainable direction, thereby developing the family economy.

Coming to Binh An 2 neighborhood, Tan An ward, almost everyone knows Mr. Truong Van Phich, because he is one of the typical households in agricultural production applying high technology, producing in a clean direction. His ^2,000m2 greenhouse vegetable garden has been maintained for 6 years, specializing in providing products to businesses in Ho Chi Minh City at stable prices. In addition, his organic dragon fruit garden always gives high yields, helping his family have a comfortable life.

Mr. Truong Van Phich contributed 50 million VND and participated in mobilizing people to contribute to the State to pave concrete, install cameras, lighting and flag lines at alley 242, Binh An 2 neighborhood, Tan An ward.

Not only a pioneer in developing the family economy, Mr. Phich is also a typical individual in contributing to and building his hometown. In addition to donating ^1,000m2 of land to build the headquarters of the Military Command of Ward 7 (old), he also contributed 50 million VND and participated in mobilizing people to contribute to paving concrete, installing cameras, lighting and flag lines for alley 242.

According to Mr. Phich, when he was the pioneer in contributing funds, many other households followed suit, the level of contribution depending on the economic conditions of the family to reduce the burden on the poor households. He said: “When building this road, I saw clearly the village and neighborhood sentiment. Those who are well-off contribute more, those who are still in difficulty contribute less, everyone joins hands to have a beautiful road.”

Deputy Head of Binh An 2 Ward Tran Thanh Tung said that not only the people in alley 242 but most of the people in the ward are very in agreement and wholeheartedly support the local policies. "Every time there is a project to open roads and concrete the alleys, the people agree. The mobilization is certainly a bit difficult but not much and is resolved quite quickly" - Mr. Tung shared. That shows that, in modern society, the good values ​​of the community are still preserved, through very close and practical actions.

It can be seen that the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage values ​​associated with innovation in propaganda methods, expanding access to information and improving economic life have created a unified whole in building cultural life in Tay Ninh. This is also a clear demonstration of the building and development of Vietnamese culture and people in the province in the spirit of Resolution No. 33-NQ/TW on building and developing Vietnamese culture and people to meet the requirements of sustainable national development./.
