CULTURAL IMPRINTS OF MUONG AND THAI ETHNIC MINORITIES IN LAM KINH CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL SPACE

Abstract

Lam Kinh is both a cultural and historical space and the home to the Kinh, Muong and Thai ethnic groups who are living in the semi - mountain and midland areas of the western mountainous region of Thanh Hoa province. The article focuses on learning about this cultural - historical space to clarify the intertwined nuances and mixtures between ethnic culture and deep historical nature associated with Lam Son uprising of national hero Le Loi. At the same time, the research results also supplement and identify more geographical and historical imprints of the land based on typical cultural elements such as language, place name and cultural heritage system.
