“Can Vuong Tremendous Spirit ”

Visiting the exhibition space “Emperor Ham Nghi: Life and Art” at Hue Museum of Royal Antiquities

The program was held on the occasion of the 81th anniversary of Emperor Ham Nghi’s passing (1944 – 2025) and the 140th anniversary of the issuance of the Can Vuong Edict to call people across the nation to resist foreign invaders.

According to Mr. Hoang Viet Trung, Director of Hue Monuments Conservation Center, this was the first time such a program was organized collaboratively. The program “Can Vuong Tremendous Spirit” was organized to honor the profound values made by Emperor Ham Nghi and the patriots of the Can Vuong Movement, which have left unforgettable marks on the nation’s history; from then, helping students to gain a better and deeper understanding and feel pride in a glorious chapter of the nation’s past while contributing to heritage education and fostering love for the homeland, etc.

Students enjoying the “Edict Transmission” game held in the framework of the program

The program included various activities such as commemoration of Emperor Ham Nghi, a visit to the exhibition space, etc. Furthermore, to create an experiential space and provide a historical playground for students, where they can be proactive in “learning about history” enthusiastically through the model of “learning in playing, playing for learning”, Hue Museum of Royal Antiquities organized many interactive games such as the action-based game called “Edict Transmission” and the intellectual game called “Who is the Wise Historian”, etc.

These experiences not only helped students develop life skills but also helped them to review historical knowledge, offering a vivid and comprehensive perspective on the unwavering and resilient spirit of the patriots in the Can Vuong Movement, as well as gaining deeper understanding about the life and career of Emperor Ham Nghi, who remained patriotic throughout his life. Furthermore, the program also aimed to spread a positive sense of cultural heritage preservation and convey a message of love for the homeland, national pride, and self-reliance.
