(Cinet)- Bac Ninh Provincial People’s Committee has had Document to propose Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to turn “Tug of war” festival and game in Huu Chap village into national intangible cultural heritage.
Tug of war is also very popular among other ethnic groups around Vietnam. Ropes made of different materials, wooden sticks and even hands are used in the game. The rules of the game also vary in different regions but above all, the game represents strength and unity. Thao Giang, a folklore researcher, says: “Tug of war is also popular in other countries but the way that Vietnamese people have played the game, which is reflected in many folk paintings, shows that through the game, Vietnamese people want to practice to become stronger. It is a non-violent game. Wining or losing is not important. The game is just fun”.
In modern society, tug of war remains a popular game, especially among students and workers. Seeking UNESCO recognition for the Tug of war ritual and game as an intangible cultural heritage of the humanity will give Vietnam a chance to further promote this ancient folk game.
Proposing to turn “tug of war” in Huu Chap, Hoa Long commune, Bac Ninh city into intangible cultural heritage aims to keep and develop heritage culture and increase more awareness of people into cultural maintenance in a locality.
