Regarding Bac Ha cultural tourism, the Tay ethnic culture of Ta Chai and Na Hoi communes is famous for its famous Tong Toong festival and the radiant dance of the upland ethnic culture. Over the past years, the rhythm has been interested in preserving, developing and becoming a traditional culture as well as being the strength for Bac Ha to exploit the potential of developing cultural and community based tourism.
To learn about the cultural beauty of traditional dances and festivals, we visited the family of Mr. Vang Van Suong, Na Hoi Tay village, Na Hoi commune. Born and raised in his homeland with traditional dances, he has many years as Chairman of the National Fatherland Front, so he has the opportunity to learn about the beauty of traditional culture in the rhythms of my people. He said: “The Song Toong Festival and the beats have not been born ever since, only know that the legend from the old days in Ta Chai and Na Hoi communes now has many people living and working in agriculture. Then, in the other year, the rice plant grew and became white, and the corn was not harvested. Many people have left this land elsewhere, and the Tay still do not want to leave their beloved village. Together they contributed a tray of rice to worship the gods, prayed for disaster, epidemics, so that the crops could be bumper ... It is not known whether the villagers' plea came to the gods or not, but the following season, the rice and corn were full, the fruit was full of branches. People celebrate, when the sound of birds, drums and the sound of Pi Be echoed in the jubilant and bustling atmosphere, no one told anyone to hold hands in a circle, dance and they turned up. singing verses.
And the Song Tong festival and the spreading tunes of the Tay people were born from there.
Up to now, the Song Tong is the biggest festival of the Tày people in Ta Chai and Na Hoi. This is the festival of worshiping the farmers of the farmers. During the festival, the ceremony is relatively simple. In the middle of the wide yard, people built a tree out of a big stick with a red paper circle attached (the sun symbol). At the foot of the tree, there are ceremonies of the village and families respectfully making offerings to the gods, reporting the results in a year of labor, thanking the farmer for his blessings, inviting him to attend the festival with his descendants. ; pray for good rain, good wind, good crops ...
An indispensable activity in the Song Tong festival is that everyone regardless of age, men and women are immersed in the traditional dance in the drums, gongs and bustling trumpets. In the sublime minutes of traditional dance, people rush into the circle to find friends. Hand in hand, eye in eye, from one circle to two, three rounds, the rhythm of transplanting rice, harvesting rice, blowing rice to pick plums, peaches, find friends, retired you ... End of the festival is Festival spread, after burning a large bonfire, everyone hands clenched fists immersed in the dance.
Opening is the main rhythm. Next to the threshing rhythm, it means that the golden rice fields are shiny, the seeds are like bees, just waiting for the healthy hands of the talented boy and the girls to ensure a quick harvest. So the circle must be crowded and boisterous. Next is the spread of the boy taking the girl to welcome spring, the spread is now wider and the rhythm is more urgent. One by one, each pair led their hands together in the bustling rhythm of the gong and the Pi Pi. Eyes in eyes, hands in hand, they do not want to separate. Once we know each other, we have to find the heart to confess our feelings and the young man asks the girl to go to the stream to catch fish. It was a fish sweep - this circle swirled evenly when it squeezed in, when it melted, like a boy's whisper, and the girl knew it but accepted it shyly, apprehensively. back dance. When the circle spreads, the second Italian girl slapped her son on the back of his beloved son, as if sending a message, do not forget the road in the following season! Now, spreading not only the forest of the five originals, but also developing more and more diverse, such as spreading the flag (holding a flag), expressing the image of the people welcoming soldiers to the village in the joy of liberation, then other kinds of fanning on festivals like: hat spread, fan scarf, fan fan ...
