Abstract

Folk beliefs of ethnic minorities in Vietnam in general and folk beliefs of ethnic minorities in Ha Giang province in particular are extremely diverse and rich. Folk beliefs are cultural and spiritual activities, indispensable spiritual food of the majority of ethnic groups. The application process needs to identify, besides positive values, folk beliefs also have certain limitations, especially idealism, superstition. Therefore, when applying folk beliefs, it is necessary to consider and select the factors that are suitable not only for ethnic minorities, but also in accordance with the Party's viewpoint in the spirit of Resolution No. 33. -NQ/TW dated June 9th, 2014 of the 11th Party Central Committee on building and developing culture and people to meet the requirements of sustainable development of the country. Only then will we ensure the successful implementation of the matter of orienting a healthy cultural and spiritual life in the process of building Vietnamese people in the current integration context for all ethnic groups in general and other ethnic groups in Ha Giang province in particular.
