Abstract:

National identity is a very important thing well cared by every nation as national pride. The preservation of cultural identity and the promotion of customs, habits, traditions of every ethnic group including the traditional literature of ethnic minorities is essential and meaningful. Traditional literature of Vietnamese ethnic minorities is the cultural foundation which remains cognitive, educational and aesthetic values, creating unique and impressive identity and sustainable development of every ethnic group in the ethnic communities in Vietnam.
In the current context of the Nation‟s integration and development, the danger of assimilation, oblivion and even the loss of cultural identity of ethnic minorities has become more serious. There have been many research studies undertaken in different aspects encompassing the preservation of culture and literature of ethnic minorities. In spite of this being, the preservation of values of literature in general and the traditional literature of ethnic minorities in particular in Vietnam has not been effective, remaining many gaps. Thus, it needs much more attention in this to secure a solid cultural foundation heading toward the development of ethnic minorities.
This article addresses the issue of utilizing the 5W1H paradigm in the preservation of Vietnamese literary values of ethnic minorities. Specifically, this paradigm has not been effectively applied to the management of intangible cultural heritage in Vietnam. This is a „logically thinking‟ model based on the answers from the open-ended questions starting with What?, Why?, Who?, Where?, When?, and How?. Given a variety of solutions of the model, we particularly focus on the educational solutions. Through the survey on 14 typical provinces in 6 cultural regions of Vietnam, we insist that the educational solutions are most effective for raising the awareness of the entire society about the preservation and promotion the traditional literature values of ethnic minorities, the reinforcement of the trust and
the pride of ethnic minority people in terms of the literary and cultural values, and the systematical transmission of languages through generations in the educational environment.
