Pray for the gods to bless. With the meaning of a sacred relic, known by many people and tourists from all over, every year Khanh An commune requests the Festival Committee to arrange for caretakers, open the temple, and always be ready to serve the religious needs of the people. Many activities are organized to promote the value of the relic: Organizing for students to experience the reality at the relic, introducing the value of the relic, praising, rewarding, and honoring students with academic achievements at the relic; many cultural and artistic activities such as singing Cheo, singing Van are held regularly; the work of welcoming and serving the religious needs of the people is of primary concern, so the relic is always protected and becomes more and more spacious.

In the current process of building new rural areas, in addition to economic and social development, improving the spiritual and cultural life of the people is an important goal. In which cultural institutions play a key role. Therefore, protecting and promoting the value of historical relics will contribute to the development of cultural institutions in rural areas, improving the spiritual life of local people.

The festival of Duc De Nhi temple or Yen Xuyen village festival in Khanh An commune has existed and developed for hundreds of years. Up to now, it can be said that basically the people here still maintain the traditions of the old festival. The festival has long become an indispensable element in the life of the people here.

The current Duc De Nhi Temple Festival has many changes compared to the old festival. During the research process, the author found that the festival is basically organized with solemn rituals, selectively absorbing traditional elements of the old festival and eliminating outdated and inappropriate customs.

With its typical cultural values, the festival of Duc De Nhi Temple is worth preserving and developing. Nowadays, along with the development of the market economy, people's lives are improved, and to keep up with modern life, the festival is increasingly simplified. That raises a problem: it is necessary to create conditions for Yen Xuyen villagers in particular and people in other localities in general to be able to retain the quintessence, the goodness, the beauty, the national identity of the festival. Besides, there needs to be careful guidance, exploiting the quintessence, eliminating backward customs such as fortune telling, superstition and unhealthy cultural practices.

To ensure that the Yen Xuyen village festival is organized according to the set goals, the subcommittees have developed a plan and implemented visual propaganda activities on the roads in the commune and promoted propaganda through the commune's broadcasting system, prepared means and props to organize cultural, artistic and sports activities.

sports in the festival area during the festival as well as sending individuals and teams to participate in the ceremony at Yen Xuyen communal house in general and Duc De Nhi temple in particular. In particular, the festival part has Cheo singing performed by the village's art troupe. Therefore, the village's art troupe had to practice for months before the festival began.

The subcommittees proactively develop plans and actively implement them, closely following all aspects of the festival's activities; information and propaganda work; security, order - traffic - environment; reception - medical work... Before the festival starts, all preparations must be completed to ensure that the festival takes place according to the set plan.

Financial resources for organizing festivals are managed as follows: Festivals are organized and managed by the village level, so the budget is directly allocated and approved by the Relic Management Board for the Festival Organizing Board. Funds for organizing festivals are sponsored by organizations, individuals, businesses and from donations from local people and visitors from all over the world, and are handed over to the Relic Management Board to hold, then reinvested to spend on organizing the next festival and renovating the relic.

The Organizing Committee has directed shops to strictly implement the commitment not to sell prohibited goods, fake goods, counterfeit goods, and poor quality goods. Strengthen inspection and control of the sales process at service establishments to prevent the circulation of poor quality goods, fake goods, and counterfeit goods on the market. Implement vehicle parking and post parking prices according to the Organizing Committee's regulations, and do not allow households to open spontaneous parking spots.

Mr. Ngoc Cuong, Vice Chairman of Khanh An Commune People's Committee said: "The festival was held at a time that coincided with many holidays, so the number of visitors to the festival was large. However, thanks to good forecasting, the commune police were proactive.

develop plans, prepare forces and means, so that security, order, traffic safety, fire prevention, etc. are ensured. The rearrangement of service areas and shops has been guided by strict regulations, order, and civilized implementation during the festival, basically reducing chaos and soliciting customers. The power source serving the festival is guaranteed to continuously meet the festival's activities. The People's Committee of the commune has strengthened the inspection and correction of service activities in the central area, where there are many pilgrims, creating a safe and healthy environment for festival activities" (In-depth interview documents October 2017).

Implement regulations on management and environmental protection of the relic site. The Organizing Committee has set out regulations to guide visitors and people participating in the festival and organizations and individuals participating in the service business to dispose of garbage in the right place; arrange trash bins, hang signs prohibiting littering and remind people to be aware of protecting the natural environment.

The Organizing Committee has developed a plan to ensure security and order throughout the festival with the motto of absolute safety for people, materials, and property of the state and people.

In addition to the achievements, the coordination of the organization of the Duc De Nhi Temple Festival still has limitations that need to be overcome such as: In the festival, there is no combination of folk games and modern games, so the festival is still less attractive and appealing; The propaganda and mobilization work for people to participate in strictly implementing regulations on preserving historical and cultural relics and protecting the natural environment and social environment is not regular; The relic managers have only fulfilled the tasks of protection, sanitation and incense but have not yet performed the tasks of propaganda and promotion of the value of the relic; The infrastructure still has many difficulties, the quality of products and goods serving the festival is still poor and unattractive; The work

Environmental sanitation management in festival areas has been given attention, but is still a pressing issue that needs more attention.

Mr. Ngoc Cuong, Vice Chairman of Khanh An Commune People's Committee said: "After organizing the festival, the Organizing Committee conducted a summary, drew lessons, and pointed out some limitations such as: The direction of the Commune People's Committee and the Festival Organizing Committee was close and drastic, however, some members of the Organizing Committee did not spend time and focus on the assigned tasks, the coordination between units was sometimes not good, cultural and sports activities were not rich, the potential of traditional cultural values was not fully exploited, and the people's need for cultural enjoyment and entertainment during the festival, although there was much progress in environmental sanitation, during the festival, pilgrims came in large numbers, and in some places, garbage was not collected in time, affecting the beauty of the festival area" (In-depth interview documents, October 2017).

2.2.5. Training and development of staff

Although in recent years, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism (now the Department of Culture and Sports) has paid great attention to the training of cultural, sports and tourism staff. Many seminars and conferences have been held to discuss issues considered essential in the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage values in general and the management of relics in particular, paying special attention to the quality of the staff participating in the management and preservation of cultural heritage. This department is considered the backbone in reviving and reviving the values of heritage. However, a reality that is happening in most localities is the lack of professional staff to meet the requirements of relic management.

The majority of the staff working in the management of cultural heritage sites are trained in conservation, museums, history, and cultural tourism. They are arranged and assigned to work in the right field, so they can somewhat meet the job requirements.

assigned. In addition to the above advantages, it must also be seen that, due to the large number of young cadres, there are many difficulties in implementing the work of the sector because although this cadre team has basic and formal training, their practical work experience is not much. The number of cadres with post-graduate degrees is still too small, the province has not yet built a team of cadres with deep knowledge and understanding of the field of cultural heritage. The team of cadres doing management work is lacking and generally weak compared to the actual work. The sector has not had a specific plan for the overall training of cadres doing culture, sports and tourism work from the province to the grassroots to serve in the coming years, especially the plan for training and fostering cadres at district and commune levels, so every time young cadres are replaced or supplemented, it is very easy to be passive and patchy. At the commune level, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has only one staff for management and implementation in many fields of culture, sports and tourism, broadcasting, wages, labor, etc. There are few people but a lot of work, so the implementation is not complete. On the other hand, these staff often have to be transferred from one job to another, so when implementing the work, they encounter many difficulties.

Mr. Do Ngoc Cuong - Vice Chairman of Khanh An Commune People's Committee said: "Through the training course, we are equipped with quite basic knowledge about cultural heritage in general and DTLSVH in particular, from State regulations, professional concepts, specific situations and events occurring in the locality and the most effective ways to resolve these events. It can be said that these training courses are very practical for us" (Interview documents October 2017).

Mr. Ta Quang Thao - Head of the Department of Culture and Information of Yen Khanh district said: "Currently, the situation of cultural officers or communal cultural officials who are directly at the grassroots level but do not have in-depth expertise in managing cultural heritage sites, and even basic knowledge has not been approached to do so.

The district's Department of Culture and Information has encountered many difficulties in grasping and directing professional matters in a timely manner. The Department has repeatedly proposed and recommended to the District People's Committee to open training courses to improve professional knowledge for grassroots cadres, but for various reasons, they have not been able to open them yet" (Interview documents October 2017).

Ms. Vu Thanh Lich, Head of the Department of Cultural Heritage Management, Ninh Binh Department of Culture and Sports said : "According to statistics, currently in Ninh Binh province, 8/8 Departments of Culture and Sports of districts and cities have staff in charge of managing cultural heritages with university degrees, trained in Conservation - Museum. However, in addition to the functions and tasks of civil servants and the responsibility of assigning to help the Department of Culture and Sports manage the system of relics in the area, this team of staff also has to take on many other jobs because the staffing of the Department of Culture and Sports is very limited while the workload is large. Therefore, the work of relic management at the district level also faces many difficulties and shortcomings. At the commune, ward and town levels, each commune, ward and town has only one cultural and social officer, but they are in charge of and concurrently perform many different tasks from the fields of culture, sports, education, to labor, so the time spent on management and promotion of cultural heritage values is not really much, leading to low results and not much time. Many officers spend time on social work or sports but neglect time for culture" (Interview documents October 2017).

Although there have been efforts in training and fostering the staff working in the management of cultural heritage, due to different conditions of time and funding, these classes are only of a training or legal training nature taking place in a very short time, related to some stages in the management of relics, so the effectiveness is not high.

The results achieved are still not high and human resource training is still an urgent issue in the current period.

2.2.6. Inspection, examination and emulation and reward work

This is a very important content to strengthen state management of relics. In recent years, Khanh An commune has basically implemented this content well, the People's Committee of the commune has regularly inspected and examined relics in the area. Coordinated with the functional agencies of the province and district to conduct many periodic and surprise inspections of key relics and festivals or those with violations and wrongdoings. Mr. Do Ngoc Cuong - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of the commune said: "In recent years, some relics with violations have been visited by inspection and examination delegations of the province and district and timely handling and rectification measures have been taken" (Interview documents October 2017).

Through inspection and examination to review and evaluate the current status of cultural heritage in general, DTLSVH in particular and the quality of this work in the district. At the same time, the district Department of Culture and Information has advised and proposed to competent authorities and specialized agencies to promptly issue directive documents in this field. Strengthen state management of activities to preserve and promote the value of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Thoroughly grasp and strictly implement the provisions of the law on cultural heritage. Receive opinions from the grassroots and aspirations of the people in the management of relics and intangible cultural heritage. Ensure objective and correct assessment of the quality of relic and intangible cultural heritage management work of each locality in the district. Timely reward and encourage localities, organizations and individuals who perform well in the management of relics and intangible cultural heritage, and at the same time seriously criticize and discipline localities, organizations and individuals who do not perform well.

However, as presented above, although inspection and examination activities take place regularly, when violations are discovered, the handling process is slow.
