The art of Bài Chòi in Central Viet Nam

The art of Bài Chòi in Central Viet Nam is a diverse art combining music, poetry, acting, painting and literature. It takes two main forms: ‘Bài Chòi games’ and ‘Bài Chòi performance’. Bài Chòi games involve a card game played in bamboo huts during the Lunar New Year. In Bai Choi performances, male and female Hieu artists perform on a rattan mat, either moving from place to place or in private occasions for families. The bearers and practitioners of the art of Bài Chòi are Hieu artists, solo Bài Chòi performers, card-making folk artists and hut-making folk artists.

Bai Choi is an enchanting and captivating experience in the exploration of Hoi An’s tourism. If the northern region has quan họ folk songs, and the southern region has đờn ca tài tử (amateur music), then the central region has bai choi. Visiting the ancient town and listening to the melodious tunes of Bài Chòi will undoubtedly create a lasting and unforgettable memory.

Folklore is the original culture

Folklore is the original culture

The sea and islands are currently very important in economic growth and cultural identity positioning in Quang Nam and Hoi An. It was the same in the past. It can be said that when the government and people know how to rely on the sea, properly manage and exploit the strengths of the sea and islands, the economy will develop spectacularly and cultural exchanges will take place strongly. And vice versa, once they are not interested in the sea and islands, the economy and culture will slow down.
