BANG KHAM FESTIVAL

Trang Dinh district, Lang Son province

BANG KHAM FESTIVAL Bung Kham Festival (Bung Kham is a big puddle). In the past, this place was a big puddle. The festival is held on January 12 every year at Bung Kham, Na Phai village, Dai Dong commune. The festival has existed for a long time, since the Tay - Nung - Dao - Kinh ethnic groups... lived together on this land. According to the elders of Na Phai village, the legend is that the name "That Khe" (in Chinese means "Seven Streams") converge and bring precious water to this land and there are Gods and Gods protecting the daily life and agricultural production of the people here. To commemorate the God of Nong who has nourished people for many generations, people in Dai Dong commune every year in the spring organize a Festival to worship the God of Nong, the Earth God and the Fairies (Fairies) to pray for a peaceful life, good health, good business and good harvests for all people in the village.  Bung Kham Festival is the most crowded and fun festival of Trang Dinh district, organized on a large scale with the participation of 24 villages of Dai Dong commune. From performing rituals to worship the Gods, Gods of Nong, Gods of Earth to ancient folk rituals such as the ritual of going down to the fields (Long Tong) and the ritual of Sowing Fortune (giving gifts), along with many other rich folk games such as: pushing sticks, tug of war, tossing shuttlecocks, swinging, etc. and among them the most unique game is Chet Khum game (ie O An Quan game) which according to legend, Ban Chet was played by Fairies and left drawings on them. Bung Kham's laterite table, along with beautiful small pebbles (Cai and Quan beads) placed in the drawing box are still preserved today.           Although the Bung Kham Festival has been lost for nearly half a century, it was not until the following years (2002) that the Bung Kham Festival was restored to serve the cultural and spiritual life of the people in Na Phai village, Dai Dong commune in particular and Trang Dinh district in general. In the following years, the Bung Kham Festival is organized on a larger and more complete scale, with the participation of more villages coming to the festival. It can be said that the Bung Kham Long Tong Festival is a comprehensive cultural activity that not only contains traditional cultural values, but through those activities it also has the effect of educating traditions, transferring to the next generations the quintessence of the community and the nation, which is the unique cultural identity summarized, supplemented, and transmitted by the local Tay ancestors until today. Bung Kham cage festival is an intangible cultural heritage, a tourism product serving the development of the local tourism economy in the future. On June 8, 2015, the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism signed Decision No. 1877/QD-BVHTTDL to put the Bung Kham Festival on the list of national intangible culture.
