Sometime It is Good Thing

We were born from other countries, other areas in the earth that we have our own culture, some countries just discovered recently but they also have their own culture. In the past, however, there were some countries that were colonized, so maybe the culture will be changed. Up to now, there have been some traditions misunderstood its own meaning by tourists because they do not know its origin and the meaning of its existence. In my country, Vietnam, they have the traditional music that called “Nhã nhạc cung đình Huế”. This type is performed only during major royal holidays and important festival. This is a combination of music and dance. In addition, musicians and dancers are equipped with the best costumes and have to practice hard with a variety of traditional instruments to be able to perform in the royal court. But today we can listen to it even though we are not members of royalty or officials. Visitors may misunderstand this is just a type of music performed during festivals and used to entertain tourists, but it is not. However now it is no longer feudal time so it still performed at festivals in Hue which is a good thing as it could be handed down to the next generations. Besides, Hue royal court music is recognized as the intangible heritage of mankind by UNESCO. I feel great because I was born in this era, so I can listen to it.
