Poor artists and their children living in HCM City will receive Tết (Lunar New Year) gifts this weekend thanks to a charity programme launched by People’s Artist Kim Cương, a guru of cải lương (reformed opera). 

The Thăng Long – Hà Nội Heritage Conservation Centre held the ancient Thăng Long royal rite to celebrate the Lunar New Year at the Imperial Citadel of Thăng Long in Hà Nội yesterday.

A special TV music show featuring 70 singers, rappers, dancers, musicians and theatre artists will air on HCM City Television (HTV) to celebrate Tết (Lunar New Year), which begins on February 12.  

The event, titled Sắc Xuân Trên Mọi Miền Tổ Quốc (Spring Colours in All Regions of the Country), aims to praise ethnic groups’ identity and enhance the solidarity among groups as well as offer a traditional festive atmosphere to tourists.

The pieces together make up a lively, beautiful painting of spring in all corners of the country.

A new book on the culture and lifestyle of Vietnamese people in Tết (Lunar New Year) has been released in HCM City.

Inspired by the theme throughout the Congress, the programme featured performances of more than 1,800 distinguished Vietnamese artists like Việt Hoàn, Đăng Dương, Tạ Minh Tâm and diva Thanh Lam.

Student Đặng Viết Lộc won first prize at a drawing contest held by the Centre for Scientific and Cultural Activities of the Temple of Literature.

To commemorate 200 years of death of Emperor Gia Long in the Lunar calendar, Huế Monuments Conservation Centre holds an exhibition on Emperor Gia Long at Huế Royal Antiquities Museum. The exhibition on Emperor Gia Long introduces to the greater public an overview of his background, career and contributions as the first king of the Nguyễn dynasty.
