“Chu Van An – an eternal teacher” book was introduced to reader
|
|
“Chu Van An – an eternal teacher” was introduced at the book release ceremony at Quoc Tu Giam (Temple of Literature), Hanoi on September 29.
Addressing the ceremony, Mr. Trieu Dinh Phuc, the secretary of Thanh Tri district party committee said: Over more than six centuries, there have been many pieces of research on the life and career of Teacher Chu Van An, from across the country. However, there have not been any comprehensive and systematic pieces of research on Chu Van An.
On the occasion of the 720th anniversary of Teacher Chu Van An’s birthday, Thanh Tri district of Hanoi compiled and released the book to show respect and honour to the Teacher Chu Van An. Through this, it is enhancing education and the traditional fondness for learning and patriotism.
The book includes 5 chapters: Chu Van An’s homeland; life and career; educational career; literary career; and some Chu Van An relics. The book is based on many document sources, supplying full information for readers about the life, career and contributions of teacher and celebrity Chu Van An.
On the occasion of releasing the book, Thanh Tri district presented 720 copies to Chi Linh district, Hai Duong city; 16 communes of Thanh Tri district, party committees and district party cells, representatives of schools in the district and Chu Van An school in Hanoi.
Chu Van An was born in 1292 and died in 1370. From his childhood, he was famous for his intelligence. However, he did not dream of taking part in exams to become a mandarin like other students. Chu Van An stayed at home and taught himself by reading books, and opened a school on unoccupied land in the nearby Lanh Huynh village.
His school quickly became famous in the village and many students from other places came and asked to attend. Many of his students became successful and held high positions, such as Pham Su Manh and Le Quat./.

(CPV) – Following the successes of the concerts in 2008 and 2010, the 3rd percussion festival titled “Cracking Bamboo 2012” will be held by the Goethe Institute in Vietnam on September 6-10.
“Cracking bamboo” promises to present another very colourful, surprising and creative project. On the foundation of percussion instruments and rhythm, “Cracking Bamboo” combines Asian and Western music for an exceptional and unique sound.
The festival also supports the cultural exchange between western and eastern nations, and besides the music, it is an initiative to support innovative methods and practice in the field of music and performance arts.
The various artists will present themselves musically at the courtyard of the Goethe Institute on October 6th and will present their show at the Youth Theatre in Hanoi on October 7th and at the Conservatory in Ho Chi Minh City on October 10th
This year, around 31 participants from Asia and Europe, including Germany, Norway, France, England, Mongolia, Canada, Belgium, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, will come together for workshops in Bangkok.
From Vietnam, three percussionists from the music academy Ho Chi Minh City will take part, and three musicians from Hanoi will play Vietnamese string instruments, like the “Dan Bau”, and the traditional bamboo xylophone “Dan T`Rung”.
According to Goethe Institute, “Cracking bamboo” presents music which is the result of artists creating on the same level, in respect for the musical culture of others. It is a wonderful adventure of listening for both the musicians and the audience./.
