THE FIRST TIME THE POEM FESTIVAL IN HANOI TAKEN PLACE AT VĂN MIẾU - QUỐC TỬ GIÁM
Hanoi Poetry Day took place at Van Mieu Quoc Tu Giam (the Temple of Literature) on February 23, contributing to a solemn and attractive opening to the series of events on Vietnam Poetry Day 2024, with the theme "Harmony of the Country".
The event was organised by the Hanoi Literature and Arts Union and the Hanoi Writers Association.
Joining the poetic atmosphere of Vietnam Poetry Day taking place in many localities across the country on the full moon of the first lunar month, Hanoi Poetry Day was organised for the first time with the consent and direction of the Party Committee of Hanoi and Hanoi People's Committee.
Although it opened in heavy rain, the event attracted large numbers of people and tourists with its unique art performances.
Chairman of the Hanoi Writers Association Tran Gia Thai affirmed that the organisation of Hanoi Poetry Day aims to encourage writers and artists to create works of high ideological and artistic value to meet the needs of enjoying literature and art in the new era; and to bring literary and artistic works to all classes of people.
After the opening speech and drumming to open the festival, the art programme opened with a vibrant drum and dragon dance performance. Following, People's Artist Tran Quoc Chiem recited the poem "Nguyen Tieu" by President Ho Chi Minh in a profound, sacred, and solemn manner.
Audience members have the opportunity to enjoy many works by authors of many generations.
