SOLUTIONS TO THE PRESERVATION AND PROMOTION OF UNIQUE CULTURAL FEATURES OF THE CHAM IN NINHTHUAN PROVINCE

Tóm tắt

The ethnic Cham in Ninhthuan, with many traditional practices such as rituals, festivals, wedding and funeral ceremonies, creeds, religions, customs, literature and such tangible cultural artifacts as temples and towers, craft and trade villages… bear their own cultural identity. The Cham culture has a variety of unique characteristics. These are manifested by their own language, script, arts and techniques of shaping earth towers, carving stone statues as well as making embroidered fabrics, brocades or pottery items and utensils for daily use. However, in fact, the work of preservation and promotion of Chams’ cultural features in the current period is really still restricted. Therefore, the introduction of preservation measures and promotion of unique cultural features of Cham people in Ninh Thuan is intended to propose new feasible solutions which, thereby, can contribute to enhancing the preservation of Champa culture in Ninhthuan Province and in the whole country.
