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.

(DTTG) - Abstract: The worship of Mother Goddess is a folk belief that has existed for a long time, clearly reflecting the characteristics of Vietnam’s rice-farming culture.

The worship of the Mother Goddess as an idol with the powers of procreation and protection for humanity of the worship belief of the Mother Goddess has helped this belief system easily integrate into folk life, taking deep root in society and the spiritual lives of each individual.
