Symbolic significance in the culinary culture of ethnic minority groups in the mountainous areas of Da Nang city

English review | Dr. Tran Tan Vinh - 09:33, 08/10/2026
Abstract: This article examines the culinary culture of ethnic minority groups in the mountainous areas of Da Nang city from the perspective of symbolic anthropology, aiming to elucidate the role and significance of culinary symbols in the community’s social and spiritual life. Based on an analysis of traditional dishes, culinary implements, ritual practices, and dining-related decorative arts among ethnic groups such as the Co-tu, Ta Oi, Bru-Van Kieu, Pa Co, Ca Dong and Cor,… research indicates that cuisine serves not only to meet survival needs but also functions as a multi-layered system of cultural symbols, reflecting worldviews and conceptions regarding humanity, nature and society. In the contemporary context, these culinary icons continue to be reimagined and creatively expressed through festivals, community-based tourism and cultural exchanges, thereby contributing to the preservation of cultural identity, the strengthening of ethnic cultural resilience and the promotion of sustainable development in mountainous regions.
