Màu đỏ trên trang phục và lửa trong tục nhảy lửa – Một góc nhìn bảo tồn di sản văn hóa dân tộc Pà Thẻn

Abstract

The fire dancing custom of the Pa Then people, residing in the northern mountainous regions of Ha Giang and Tuyen Quang, many of us remember the magical and mysterious image of men dancing in a pile of red-hot coals without getting burned in this ethnic minority group in the northern mountainous region. Within this ethnic group, the red color of the Pa Then women’s costumes worn during festivals, New Year’s holidays, and weddings all leave a strong impression not only in the way the costumes are designed, but also in the fiery color of the costumes. So, is there an intertwined relationship between the fire in the fire dancing custom and the Pa Then people’s worldview in using the color red? This article gathers relevant data to research, prove, and find answers to this argument.
