A day of experiencing Vietnamese ethnic culture

From early morning, the students of Hiep Phuoc from many countries in the region and the world such as China, Japan, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Cuba... were packed in the school yard, eagerly preparing to get on the bus to go to the museum. Attending with the students were also teachers who directly taught Vietnamese language and culture to the students in class.

To facilitate the study of the culture of Vietnamese ethnic groups, when arriving at the museum, students were divided into 2 groups, 1 group visited the indoor museum first and the other group explored the outdoor museum first. Under the interesting explanations of the museum staff, students of many different nationalities were extremely surprised by the unique cultures of ethnic groups in Vietnam such as the Viet, Muong, Tho, Chut, Tay - Thai, Hmong - Dao, Northern Mon-Khmer, Truong Son - Tay Nguyen Mon-Khmer, Nam Dao, etc. In comparison with the culture of their own country, students had a diverse and rich view of Vietnamese culture.

If the indoor exhibition area brought students back to the cultural colors of Vietnam, the outdoor architectural garden gave students a full view of human creations. The residential space of ethnic groups was recreated in the architectural features of Cham houses, Vietnamese houses, Bana communal houses, Ede houses, Tay houses, Dao houses, Hmong houses, and the unique features of Co Tu tombs, Gia Rai tombs, etc., bringing students many interesting experiences. The talent of the artisans made students admire and curious, perhaps that is why in many exhibition areas, students continuously asked questions to the museum's tour guides. In addition, the Southeast Asian cultural exhibition area, although still very new, also brought students a lot of interesting information.

In the chilly weather of late autumn, a day of experiencing the culture of Vietnamese ethnic groups brought many emotions to the students of the Faculty of Hiep Dinh. Surely, plans for in-depth research, learning and exploring many lands and people of Vietnam will blossom in them from these field trips.
