Co Sau Festival

Chongqing, Cao Bang

Co Sau Festival (Cao Bang): Unique cultural feature of the remote region Every year, on the 15th day of the second lunar month, Trung Khanh district, Cao Bang province jubilantly organizes the Co Sau Festival - one of the biggest local festivals, attracting a large number of people and tourists from all over to attend. Co Sau Festival has a long history, not only is it an important spiritual and cultural event but also carries unique historical values, contributing to creating a unique identity for Chongqing. The festival is associated with Quan Thanh Temple - a provincial historical and cultural relic, located at the foot of the sacred Phja Phu mountain. Previously, Co Sau street was an important trading center of Trung Khanh district, connecting communes in the region with neighboring districts such as Tra Linh, Ha Lang, Quang Uyen, and even Guangxi province (China). According to legend, this place used to be a dating spot for couples in love, as well as a busy trading center, proving the old song: "Co Sau Thuong Lang is rich and rich" (Co Sau Thuong Lang has many rich people). Quan Thanh Temple originally worshiped the mountain god Phja Phu, expressing the people's wishes for protection from natural disasters. Currently, on the cliff of Phja Phu mountain behind the temple, the Chinese characters "Quan Son protecting the people" (Mountain protecting the people) are still engraved, affirming the sacred meaning of the temple. On December 30, 2014, Quan Thanh Temple was officially recognized by the Provincial People's Committee as a provincial-level historical and cultural relic. The Co Sau Festival consists of two main parts: the ceremony and the festival. Ceremony: People offer incense at Quan Thanh Temple and procession to worship Than Nong Temple with local products, expressing their respect and praying for a good harvest and good weather. Festival: Cultural, sports and culinary activities take place enthusiastically. Traditional folk songs such as phong slu, luon, then, si giang are performed by artisans, bringing an emotional artistic space, contributing to preserving and promoting the value of cultural heritage. Visitors also have the opportunity to visit and shop at local specialty stalls and enjoy traditional dishes displayed by communes and towns. In addition, the festival also organizes many attractive folk games such as Pickleball, stick pushing, shuttlecock toss, tug of war, weeding..., creating a joyful and exciting atmosphere, attracting the participation of a large number of people and tourists. This year, the organization of the festival is carried out carefully, ensuring security and order, helping people and tourists have a complete experience. Co Sau Festival is not only an opportunity to have fun and meet, but also has a profound meaning in educating patriotic traditions, promoting the spirit of "When drinking water, remember its source". This is also an opportunity for today's generation to remember the merits of their predecessors, while contributing to propagating, preserving and promoting the cultural and historical value of the Quan Thanh Temple relic. Co Sau Festival has become a typical cultural feature of Chongqing, contributing to enriching the national cultural identity, creating a highlight to attract tourists and promoting the development of local tourism.
