The competition was divided into 2 groups for Primary (6-11 years old) and Junior High School (12 – 15 years old). The preliminary round attracted the participation of over 400 students. Thereby, 50 works were selected for the final round. The organizing board will choose 15 superlative works to print on Ao dai for the performance at the awarding ceremony.

Furthermore, the participating works will be used to promote, display and perform in the events and activities held by the Provincial General Library, as well as being used in other fundraising activities to buy books for the bookshelves in remote areas with an aim to encourage and spread reading culture in the community.

According to the organizing committee, this is a fascinating activity to arouse children’s passion and creativity; expressing their ideas, talents, thoughts, and actions; thereby, spreading reading culture and sharing the love of country, homeland, as well as the love for Ao dai – a traditional costume of the Vietnamese nation.

Tet & the concept of time

They observed the rotation of the universe and carved markings on cave walls to record the passage of day and night. From natural phenomena, weather patterns, and cosmic cycles, humans created calendars to serve daily life and agricultural production.

Hue’s yellow apricot blossom… snubbed by the emperor

Ask the people of Hue what flower they love most, and most will likely answer: the apricot blossom. To put it more formally, “hoang mai” - yellow apricot, without a doubt. Don’t believe it? Come to Hue and see for yourself! There’s a whole movement called “Yellow apricot blossom in front of the entrance”; a completed research project on “Conservation and development of Hue’s yellow apricot variety (Hue’s Hoang mai)”; a scientific conference on developing Hue’s Hoang mai into a key local product, aimed at successfully realizing the project to build Thua Thien Hue province (now Hue City) into Vietnam’s yellow apricot homeland. My friend, journalist Minh Tu, even published a book called “In front of the house stands a yellow apricot tree”, which sold out instantly, was reprinted, and translated into foreign languages to great acclaim.
