| Description | Xuân Phả Performances is a folk performance depicting the scene of 5 ancient countries (China, Hòa Lan, Tú Huần, Chăm Pa, Ai Lao) bringing gifts along with their country's unique dance and singing performances to congratulate the Emperor of ancient Vietnam. Xuân Phả Performances was formed and developed for more than 1000 years to become a unique and special folk dance complex, taking place annually from the 10th to the 12th of the 2nd lunar month at the Xuân Phả Temple relic, Xuân Trường commune, Thọ Xuân district, Thanh Hóa province. The uniqueness of Xuân Phả is that out of the 5 performances, there are 3 performances in which the performers must wear masks, namely Chiêm Thành, Hoa Lang và Lục Hồn Nhung performances. The characteristic of Xuan Pha is that the male dancers have free movements, with open and strong arms and legs, expressing "softness in hardness, softness in hardness" with many dance movements and dance formations, highlighting the nuances of rice culture, the graceful, delicate, discreet but also very strong appearance of the Vietnamese people. Xuân Phả is the pinnacle of the crystallization of the art of royal dance and Vietnamese folk dance. |
