10. Summary of thesis results:

The Northwest is where most of the Mong people in our country are concentrated. In terms of religion, before the 1980s, the Mong people here mainly followed animism and polytheism, and there were no Protestants. Since 1987, a group of Mong people have converted to Protestantism, and currently there are about 200,000 followers. This is a significant change in the religious life of the Mong people. The penetration and development of Protestantism has had both positive and negative impacts on the Mong community in the region, including the Mong people in Lao Cai province. Currently, in Lao Cai, there are nearly 30,000 Mong people following Protestantism, and there have been diverse cultural changes, from traditional culture to modern culture - Protestant culture. This requires more attention from authorities and researchers in preserving and promoting traditional ethnic cultural identity, absorbing new things and eliminating negative things that affect the lives of ethnic communities here.

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:

North West of Vietnam is the place where most of Mong people are concentrated. In terms of religion, before the 1980s, the Hmong were mainly based on the spirituality and worship of polytheism, with no Protestants. Since 1987, a part of the Hmong has been converted to Protestantism, and there are now over 200,000 followers. This is a significant change in the religious life of the Mong. The penetration and development of Protestantism has both positive and negative impact on the Mong people in the area, including Mong people in Lao Cai province. At present in Lao Cai, there are nearly 30,000 Protestant Mongols who have been transformed from cultural traditions to modern culture and adapted to the values ​​of cultural Protestantism. This calls for greater attention by the authorities, researchers in the preservation and promotion of the ethno-cultural tradition, the acquisition of the new and the removal of the negative of the communal life of the ethnic peoples here.
