To continue preserving and effectively promoting the traditional festival of An Phu village, attention should be paid to several key tasks.
First, maintain the organization of the festival according to traditional customs, in accordance with practical conditions and current regulations on festival management and organization. Organization should ensure solemnity, safety, thrift, and civility; promote the community's role as subject and limit manifestations that distort traditional values.
Second, strengthen the collection, inventory, and documentation of the heritage. Stories about deities, sacrificial rituals, palanquin procession procedures, offering preparation, costumes, musical instruments, and related customs should be recorded, photographed, filmed, and systematically archived. Documentation will help reduce the risk of loss when elders no longer directly participate in practice.
Third, focus on transmitting to younger generations. The Relic Management Subcommittee and relevant forces should coordinate with schools and mass organizations to organize heritage-learning activities, experiences at the communal house, and sessions where elders introduce history and practice suitable content. Through this, awareness of respecting the heritage and responsibility for inheritance will be formed in younger generations.
Fourth, continue consolidating the role of the Relic Management Subcommittee, Relic Protection Board, and Festival Organizing Committee; assign tasks clearly and create conditions for experienced people to guide successor forces. The selection of practitioners and transmitters should be based on ability, practical experience, and suitability for each ritual position.
Fifth, promote communication and introduction of the festival's values through appropriate forms such as articles, documentary photos, introductory videos, information boards at the relic site, and local educational activities. Communication content must be accurate, respect community knowledge, and clearly distinguish verified historical materials from stories circulated among the people.
Sixth, link festival preservation with protection of the An Phu communal house relic space, preserving the landscape and building a healthy cultural environment. Visiting and heritage-learning activities should be organized appropriately, avoiding excessive commercialization or impacts on the sacredness and identity of the festival.
