| Mr. Pham Hien, Vice Chairman of Dong Nai Province Literature and Arts Association, answered an interview with Dong Nai Newspaper and Radio and Television reporters about the spirit of solidarity and enthusiasm of artists and writers in creating works after the province's merger. |
Promoting the strengths and cultural identity of Dong Nai past and present
The fertile land of Dong Nai, blessed by nature, with favorable weather and wind, is known as “the land where birds nest” thanks to its fertile soil, a system of rivers distributed throughout, carrying heavy alluvium to cool and nourish the spiritual life and the demeanor of Dong Nai people: generous, affectionate, sharing. That is the spirit of mutual love in the process of land reclamation and settlement (in 1698, Nguyen Huu Canh received orders from Lord Nguyen Phuc Chu to go to the South to “establish sovereignty , stabilize the situation, recruit people, reclaim land, build villages, establish Gia Dinh prefecture and Tan Binh district, Phuoc Long district”). That land needs solidarity and love to overcome many challenges and dangers, because “ Dong Nai is a strange land/ Crocodiles swim in the river, tigers roar in the forest ”. It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that teacher, photographer, poet Bang Ba Lan had verses that dispelled that desolation:
"I am a Dong Nai girl
Your teeth are white, your body is charming
You smile, you speak innocently
Your love is like a rich durian
I go home I remember last night...
Missing someone, missing the gift of Dong Nai…”.
Today, Dong Nai opens up new opportunities, on a vast land from the cultural space of the South Truong Son - Tay Nguyen, hearing "The sound of pestles on Bom Bo village" to "Tri An echoes in spring"... It can be summarized by the highlights considered as strengths: Dong Nai has a relatively flat terrain but owns two sacred mountains, Ba Ra mountain, 736m high, and Chua Chan mountain, 837m high, carrying many legends and heritage sites to develop the tourism and service industry. The system of historical relics, scenic spots and religious belief institutions is distributed densely throughout the province; the diversity of ethnic groups, religions, folk festivals; the richness of costumes, cuisine , and traditional craft villages have enriched the spiritual life of the people.
Dong Nai's economic picture has recently improved as the province has major transport infrastructure projects that have been and are being implemented. These factors have helped talented artists to open up and add endless inspiration to create works of prose, paintings, art photos, music... that are commensurate with the cultural identity as well as the development of the locality. That is also the responsibility of more than 600 members of the Dong Nai Literature and Arts Association.
In the coming time, it is necessary to continue to strengthen the organization and operation of the literary and artistic associations to ensure unity, streamlining, professionalism, efficiency, gathering a large number of artists to participate, and developing members in both quantity and quality...
To make literature and art an important spiritual foundation in building Dong Nai culture and people
In the environment of a newly merged province with a large area and large population, the work of building and developing culture and arts in the new period must also change, harmonize and promote strengths.
Accordingly, it is necessary to continue to strongly innovate the thinking and methods of leadership and direction, raise awareness and responsibility of Party committees and organizations at all levels, especially leaders, for the work of culture and arts. Pay attention to the specificity, sensitivity and sophistication of culture and arts, ensuring development in accordance with the Party's political and ideological orientation, while ensuring freedom and democracy in creativity; arouse and strongly promote the desire to contribute and the creative capacity of artists. Strengthen inspection and supervision of the institutionalization of the Party's policies on culture and arts.
At the same time, it is necessary to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of state management, increase resources for building and developing culture and arts, ensure harmony, avoid dispersion and waste. Invest in promoting valuable cultural and artistic works, especially those for children and those of ethnic minorities. Focus on reviewing, supplementing and perfecting policies and laws on culture and arts; ensure conformity with development orientations and practical requirements; focus on improving the efficiency of investment funds for culture and arts development, creating breakthroughs in attracting and allocating resources; build and perfect policies on socialization of culture and arts activities; encourage the connection between culture and arts development and tourism and service sectors; gradually create programs, products and brands in the field of culture and arts in Dong Nai province.
In addition, Dong Nai also needs to focus on developing the cultural industry along with building and perfecting the cultural and artistic market. Develop sanctions to regulate the behavior and standards of organizations and individuals operating in the field of culture and arts. Develop and perfect aesthetic education programs for youth, teenagers, students in schools; gradually improve the level and aesthetic perception capacity of the public.
In particular, it is necessary to strongly promote the development of the fields of research, theory and criticism of literature and art. Resolutely promote the fundamental and leading role of Marxist aesthetics and Ho Chi Minh's thought on literature and art associated with the values and identities of the nation's fine traditional culture and art; at the same time, selectively absorb the quintessence of world literature and art theories. Strengthen the protection of the Party's ideological foundation; fight against erroneous and hostile viewpoints in the field of literature and art...
