Philosophy of Life and Ethics of Being Human In Folk Tales of the Pa then People in Quang Binh District, Ha Giang Province
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 03
Abstract
In the large family of Vietnamese ethnic groups, the Pa Then people are one of the ethnic minority groups with a very small population (less than 1,000 people), mainly living in Ha Giang province. Although their number is not large, the Pa Then people still preserve their unique cultural features, especially their treasure trove of folk tales. These are works containing profound philosophical values about life and human morality, but are not widely known . This article introduces the values of life in the folk tales of the Pa Then people. Through research, statistics and analysis of both the content and art of the stories, the group of authors found that these folk tales truly reflect the material and spiritual life of the Pa Then people, especially the concepts about the philosophy of life and human morality . However, in the trend of integration and cultural exchange today, the folk tales of the Pa Then people, as well as the folklore of other ethnic groups, are facing the risk of being lost and distorted. Therefore, the research and introduction of the folk tales of the Pa Then people is necessary to preserve and promote their cultural values in the current multicultural environment.
