Nha NhacOn November 7, 2003, UNESCO bestowed world heritage status on 28 relics of nations as masterpieces of oral and intangible heritage of humanity. Among the 11 masterpieces of Asia, nha nhac (royal music) represents the first intangible legacy of Vietnam to have been put on this list.The UNESCO Council appraised Vietnamese royal music in the following terms: “Vietnamese royal music represents an elegant and refined music. It deals with the music performed in the imperial courts and on different anniversaries, religious festivals, and on such particular occasions. Of the different categories developed in Vietnam, only the royal music was national.”Nha nhac (Vietnamese royal music) and its principles came to Vietnam under the Ho Dynasty (1400-1407). The Ho Dynasty, however, only existed for a short time, so nha nhac rapidly fell into oblivion. In 1427, Le Loi defeated the Chinese Ming invaders and liberated the country. However, nha nhac only began to develop in the reign of King Le Thanh Tong (1460-1497) and reached its peak under the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945).Nha nhac is genre of scholarly music. It attracted the participation of many talented songwriters and musicians, with numerous traditional musical instruments.From now on, nha nhac will have opportunities to preserve, develop and popularize to the public, inside and outside the country.

Quan ho Folk songsThe birth place of quan ho folk songs is Bac Ninh Province. During village festivals, which are held every year, particularly in spring, young men and women gather in the yard of a communal house or pagoda, on a hill or in a rowing boat, and sing quan ho. This is a style of singing where songs alternate from group to group.Quan ho singing is a folk art of a highly collective nature. Those who sing are not entertainers, but all are part of the performance, and anyone is welcome to join.Quan ho Bac Ninh folk songs is inscribed on the list of Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on 30th September 2009.

Ca tru singing (Intangible Cultural Heritage)Fortunately, ca tru is now being restored and is more liked by the younger generation. Research scholars have traced the origins of ca tru to areas of high culture, such as the ancient imperial capital of Thang Long (present-day Hanoi), Ha Tay, etc. Artists of great talent have practiced the art, including Quach Thi Ho, Thuong Huyen, Kim Dzung, etc. Some of them are now in their seventies, but a successor generation has blossomed and holds great promise.

Ca tru is where poetry and music meet. People familiar with such ancient verse as luc bat (the six eight-syllable distich) and hat doi (singing tossed back and forth between groups of young men and women), and who are capable of sympathizing with the sentiments expressed in the sound of a small drum or a two-string viol, are more likely to fully enjoy a recital of ca tru.

Ca tru music is most enjoyable when there is complete harmony between the words being sung, the rhythm marked by a pair of small bamboo sticks held by the singer who strikes a small block of wood or bamboo called phach, and, last but not least, the appreciation shown by a man among the audience beating a small drum at the appropriate moments.

Ca tru singing is inscribed on the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in need of Urgent Safeguarding on 1st October 2009

The Cultural Space of Gong in the Central HighlandsThe space of gong culture in Central Highlands of Viet Nam covers 5 provinces of Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Lam Dong. The masters of gong culture are the ethnic groups of Ba Na, Xo Dang, M’Nong, Co Ho, Ro Mam, E De, Gia Rai… The gong performances are always closely tied to community cultural rituals and ceremonies of the ethnic groups in Central Highlands. Many researchers have classified gongs as ceremonial musical instrument and the gong sounds as a means to communicate with deities and gods.

The gongs are made of brass alloy or a mixture of brass and gold, silver, bronze. Their diameter is from 20cm to 60cm or from 90cm to 120cm. A set of gongs consists of 2 to 12 or 13 units and even to 18 or 20 units in some places.

In most of ethnic groups, namely Gia Rai, Ede Kpah, Ba Na, Xo Dang, Brau, Co Ho, etc., only males are allowed to play gongs. However, in others such as Ma and M’Nong groups, both males and females can play gongs. Few ethnic groups (for example, E De Bih), gongs are performed by women only.

As for the majority of ethnic groups in Central Highlands, gongs are musical instruments of sacred power. It is believed that every gong is the settlement of a god who gets more powerful as the gong is older. “God of gong” is always considered as the tutelary deity for the community’s life. Therefore, gongs are associated to all rites in one’s life, such as the inauguration of new houses, funerals, buffalo sacrifice, crop praying rite, new harvest, ceremony to pray for people’s and cattle’s health, ceremony to see-off soldiers to the front, and the victory celebration.

The spaces of gong culture in Central Highlands are heritage with temporal and spatial imprints. Through its categories, sound-amplifying method, sound scale and gamut, tunes and performance art, we will have an insight in a complicated art developing from simple to complexity, from single to multi-channel. It contains different historical layers of the development of music since the primitive period. All artistic values have the relationships of similarities and dissimilarities, bringing about their regional identities. With its diversity and originality, it’s possible to confirm that gongs hold a special status in Viet Nam’s traditional music.

On November 25, 2005 in Paris, France, the space of gong culture in Central Highlands was recognized by UNESCO as an oral-transmitted masterpiece and intangible cultural heritage of the humanity.

Xoan Singing or Hat XoanXoan singing is a folk cultural product of Phú Thọ province. The last point of time that Xoan accompany still sang in communal houses of the villages in spring was in 1945. Fortunately, we still had an opportunity to meet singers and instrumentalist who used to sing in the Xoan accompany in the old days when we conducted to investigate, study on Xoan singing in the late August.

It can be said that Xoan singing is still engraved in the memory of folk artists who up to now can perform it in the communal house whenever having the festival. Previously, the Xoan singing belonged to four villages, An Thái, Thét, Phù Đức and Kim Đái of Hạc Trì district, Phú Thọ province. After the innovation, An Thái village belongs to Phượng Lâu, Việt Trì city, and Thét, Phú Đức and Kim Đái villages belong to Kim Đức, Phù Ninh district, Phú Thọ province. According to folk artists, of those four villages, the singing style of Xoan accompany of An Thái village is similar to that of Thét village and Phù Đức village similar to Kim Đái. However, it is the difference of order of repertoire, words and the number of dancer, etc, that also creates the own style of each village.

In 1998, together with the establishment of the club of Xoan singing in Kim Đức communes and An Thái village, Phượng Lâu commune brought about new vitality for Xoan singing. The generation of elderly folk artists in the old days always tried their best to hand down offspring compositions in the old style of singing in the activity of Club. On the last August 18th, People’s Committee of Kim Đức commune opened a festival of Xoan singing competition to rise up the passion and pride of villagers to the special art of the locality. When we coming, villagers of each Xoan village were actively practicing and perfecting compositions to be able to found Xoan accompany of each village according to the policy of the Department of Culture and Information of Phú Phọ province. The concern of authority and enthusiastic contribution of the villagers are good news of art of Xoan singing in today’s life.

Vietnamese water puppetWater puppetry is a traditional performing art of Vietnam dating back to a very old age. The Sung Thien Linh stele at Doi pagoda (in Duy Tien district, Nam Ha province) dating back to 1121 (under the Ly dynasty) bears the inscription that the first water puppet was then staged in honor of the King longevity.

Due to the natural condition and their agriculture activities it was the Vietnamese peasants who were the creators of this performing art. Water puppet shows usually took place in the past when the farm work had been generally completed, in spring time, or in festivals. The French formerly called this performing art with gentle puppet figures “the soul of the Vietnamese rice fields with creativeness and a sense of discovery”. Water of puppetry should rank among the most important forms of Puppet Theater.

The way of using water to activate the puppet and to hide the manipulating apparatus and the manipulation of the show constitute the most splendid creativity. Water give breathe to puppet figures, and make them looks fresh. Water also involved in the show, as the saying has it that: “Water also becomes a character of the puppet show”.

The water surface gently undulating with a flock of swimming ducks becomes romantic in the illusory veil of smoke when a group of fairies landing for singing and dancing. But it also becomes seething and furious during naval battles or when powerful dragons are emerging.

A French newspaper wrote: “The puppet figures are manipulated with an unimaginable cleverness. It’s like they are commanded by a magical power.” This remark also manifests the attractiveness and creativeness of water puppet show.

When it comes to news of any kind there are varying degrees of complexity, understanding, angle, focus and insight. The way that The Times covers a topic is vastly different, and some would argue superior, to say the way in which The Sun or The Daily Mail might cover the same story. This is a reality for entertainment news just as much as it is for any other news category, from politics to fashion. For this reason, it’s sort of important to look at the relative differences to distinguish good entertainment news from bad entertainment noise, which seems to clog up web pages and search results courtesy of certain news providers, as well as TV channels, newspapers and magazines.

One of the biggest differentiators when it comes to delivering entertainment news is the level of dedication to or interest in quality. Whether it’s the quality or readability of the writing itself or the quality of the topic behind the news, it’s an important factor to look at.

Obviously there is a market for both low quality writing and poor quality stories, however, there is also the possibility that this is just a self perpetuating circumstance as opposed to a necessity for sales and circulation. Celebrity rag magazines, for example, would continue to sell if they threw in the occasional piece on a genuinely good up and coming band instead of the latest flop from X-Factor.

The reality is that mass media has always been interested in celebrity. The problem is that the celebrities that the media are interested in are increasingly moronic and lacking in quality output so there’s more and more idiot hole entertainment news chasing idiot hole entertainment. This has marginalised great music and movies because they are not sensational enough to boost newspaper sales or internet traffic.

An offshoot of the disinterested in quality “style” of entertainment news is low value content; simply writing any old tat just to get it out there without taking the time to research the content properly or provide insight into the content matter. Another point to add to this is that there are many entertainment news providers that simply focus on churning out high volumes of content just to be seen to be saying something or to live up to the online requirement for ever increasing volumes of fresh content, irrespective of its merits.

However, on the flip side of this there are also good quality independent entertainment news providers that don’t have the resources to produce enough content to make an impact. With the glass ceiling in place to keep independent providers out of the industry, a lack of content can make them look tin-pot and slightly amateurish, marginalising well thought out and researched content.

One of the biggest concerns when it comes to entertainment news releases is the influence of agents pushing populist or well backed entertainment on the press. With the deeper pockets of bigger organisations distributing products, it’s easy for news providers to be influenced to push those products over higher quality releases.

However, there are also many distributions that just have poor taste. This can be as a result of a lack of understanding of the subject or no real love of or interest in it. Either way, the result is poor, which is passed down to consumers that are all too easily influenced by what the publications might say.

While integrity and dedication to quality will help to bring more real value to the entertainment news world, there also needs to be a seismic shift in the funding and editorial decisions that back up mass media to ensure that more good books get read, more people are interested in going to the theatre, more great bands are rewarded for their brilliant work and less funds get sloshed off to the moronosphere celebrity wasters that clutch hard at the teat of bad entertainment news. While the public has got a pretty big responsibility stake in that shift, it will only happen if more publications add quality as well as sensationalised sheep fodder.
