Hanoi: Flute is seen as the most popular and sacred traditional instrument of the Bru-Van Kieu ethnic people, who are residing on Truong Son mountainous range in the central province of Quang Tri. Bru-Van Kieu people craft different types of flutes from truc (a type of slender forest bamboo), each designated for specific social, emotional, or ritualistic functions. The flute resonance serves like a bridge connecting people with their roots, mountains, forests, and spiritual life. In the flow of modern life, the efforts by local artisans accompanied by the government's conservation solutions are contributing to preserving this precious heritage, while also opening up opportunities for community-based tourism development. According to Vietnam News Agency, the crafting of these traditional flutes by the Bru-Van Kieu people is more than a mere cultural activity; it is a crucial element of their identity and connection to the natural world. Each flute, tailored for specific occasions, plays a significant role in maintaining the cultural fabric of the community. The distinct sound of the flute echoes through the Truong Son Range, symbolizing the enduring link between the Bru-Van Kieu people and their ancestral lands. Efforts to preserve this tradition are gaining momentum, with local artisans at the forefront of cultural conservation. The government's supportive measures are aimed at safeguarding this intangible cultural heritage, ensuring its survival amid the pressures of modernization. These initiatives not only protect the cultural legacy of the Bru-Van Kieu but also provide a platform for promoting community-based tourism, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of the region.
