CULTURAL VALUES OF FESTIVALS IN NEW RURAL COMMUNES IN HO CHI MINH CITY

Abstract

Ho
Chi
Minh
City
Party
Committee
set
the
task
at
the
11th
Congress
"Organize
well
cultural
and
sports
activities

to
serve
major
events
and
festivals
of
the
City,
contributing
to
preserving
and
promoting
the
values
of
good

traditional
culture”
(Ho
Chi
Minh
City
Party
Committee,
2020,
p.182).
In
particular,
preserving
"festival
cultural

values"
with
an
important
role
and
significance
in
"preserving
and
promoting
good
traditional
cultural
values";
is

considered
a
standard
and
criterion
for
both
"quietness
and
openness"
in
preserving
and
promoting
the
inherent

cultural
heritage
values
of
rural
areas.
From
the
above
premises,
the
authors
emphasize
the
"transformation
of

festival
types"
in
the
process
of
building
new
rural
areas
(NRA)
over
the
past
15
years
in
some
rural
communes
of

the
City,
meeting
the
essential
needs
of
the
cultural
and
spiritual
life
of
farmers
in
Ho
Chi
Minh
City
through

festival
rituals
and
practices.
