Spreading the “Can Vuong tremendous spirit” in heritage space
HNN.VN - On the occasion of the 140th anniversary of Emperor Ham Nghi’s issuance of the Can Vuong Edict (1885 - 2025) - a milestone marking the beginning of the representative patriotic movement of the late 19th century, on the morning of December 7, Hue Monuments Conservation Center organized the heritage education program “Can Vuong tremendous spirit” (“Hao khi Can Vuong”) at Hue Museum of Royal Antiquities and the Nguyen Dynasty’s Privy Council (Co Mat Vien - Tam Toa) space.
The event attracted 160 students from Thong Nhat Secondary School and Tran Cao Van Secondary School. After visiting and learning about the documents and the story of Ham Nghi - the young and steadfast emperor who chose exile rather than submission to the French colonists - at the exhibition space “Emperor Ham Nghi, life and arts”, the students participated in exciting games such as “Delivering the edict”, “Receiving the edict”, “Crossing mountains and forests”, and “Rain of arrows, storm of bullets”, etc.
“I usually only know about the Can Vuong movement through textbooks, but when I participated in the edict-delivery game, I felt like I was living in the atmosphere of 1885. Learning history has become much easier to understand and more interesting,” shared Thao Nhi, a student from Thong Nhat Secondary School.
According to Mr. Hoang Viet Trung, Director of Hue Monuments Conservation Center, organizing heritage education activities for students is not only to help the students gain historical knowledge, but also to arouse national pride. “We hope to contribute to reviving the Can Vuong spirit and the image of Emperor Ham Nghi to remind the present generation of the sense of responsibility to the Fatherland, and the awareness of preserving heritage,” he said.
