Accompanying with building is to fight against the obsoleteness, in old customs and habits to protect national identity During the opening, integrated international exchanges, building cultural life is an important task of the whole country, thereby contributing to creating a stable, safe and sustainable socio-political environment on basis of guaranteed economic life Building cultural life is the duty of every citizen, every family, every agency, union, social organization, levels and branches Lang Son is a province taking great care of building cultural life, located at the Eastern gateway of the country, with a particularly important economic, political, cultural and social position and international border gates, it is an economic exchange hub between Vietnam and China with ASEAN countries, Eastern - Western Europe Lang Son has many ethnic groups (Nung, Tay, Kinh, Dao, Hoa, San Chay, Mong ), Lang people have a tradition of preserving and promoting people's cultural identity values, ethnicity, building a rich cultural life, imbued with its own identity The development history shows that the Lang Son peoples with their identities, through many times, still have not faded away, even through the times when the country was invaded, the nation was dominated, each time culture with its bravery and vitality takes national identity as a criterion, refining, clarifying, absorbing the good quintessence of other cultures, enriching its identity Since Lang Son entered the renovation period, the international integration trend has become increasingly strong in all fields Culture also faces many opportunities and challenges The great opportunity is to be able to receive the progressive cultural movements of mankind to keep up with the times The big challenge is that the cultural movements from outside can be disturbing, even eliminating a certain aspect of national cultural identity, and negative elements can creep and break the fine habits and customs in the cultural life of ethnic groups In the current period, the market economy and the opening and integration trend is creating many important motivations and conditions to develop the country, however, the its reverses have a negative impact on culture, explicitly evident in the transformation of lifestyle, life of a part of people of all ethnic groups On the other hand, hostile forces are finding ways to counteract innovation, including the "peaceful evolution" strategy in the field of culture and thought To protect itself, one of the problems Lang Son province is currently concerned about is building cultural life of ethnic groups, mobilizing all potentials for the cause of building and protecting the homeland, in parallel with the comprehensive reform of nation that requires close attachment of socio-economic development with building of the cultural life of the province, contributing to building a culture because culture is the spiritual foundation of society, both the goal and the driving force of the innovation career That awareness directs practical building of cultural life to contribute to limiting negative impacts of the market economy in the process of building new culture and new people In the 1998 - 2015 period, building cultural life in Lang Son has achieved remarkable results on building personal cultural life, family cultural life, community culture life, building cultural environment However, the building of cultural life in Lang Son also has limitations and shortcomings due to many subjective and objective reasons, many party committees and authorities have not paid enough attention to this area; leading and direction are not so drastic The concretization and institutionalization of the Party's Resolution are slow, inconsistent and in some cases infeasible The state management of culture is slowly renewed, sometimes, are overlooked and even loose; disciplines are not strict Besides, some ethnic groups in Lang Son now maintain backward customs and habits, a loophole for criminals to take advantage of Lang Son is in the renovation period when the old is losing and the new is forming, in this process what will be lost, what will be succeeded, what has become obsolete and what is reasonable, what needs to be built? All these are the problems being posed from reality of life that require to gradually clarify However, this is currently less discussed, researched systematically Therefore, studying the process of building cultural life in Lang Son is very necessary Based on that, lessons learned to effectively implement the cultural life of Lang Son province will be drawn in the new period The review and evaluation of the process of building cultural life not only has historical and practical significance, but also of current affairs With the above scientific and practical meaning, I decided to choose the topic: "The process of building cultural life in Lang Son province from 1998 to 2015" as the thesis topic Purpose and mission of the thesis 2.1 Purpose of the thesis Restoring the building of the cultural life of Lang Son province from 1998 to 2015, initially summarizing some experiences for present and future work 2.2 Thesis tasks Giving an overview of the topic-related researches, determining the issues of previous researches, determining the issues to be focused by the thesis Analyzing factors affecting the process of building cultural life in Lang Son province from 1998 to 2015 Restoring the process of building cultural life in Lang Son province with specific activities and results from 1998 to 2015 Drawing characteristics, advantages, limitations, meanings and experiences in building cultural life in Lang Son province Research subjects and scope of the thesis 3.1 Research subjects Reality of building cultural life in Lang Son province from 1998 to 2015 3.2 Research scope -
