The Tay Tuyen Quang people originated from the Bach Viet ethnic group that migrated from the Mac dynasty.The Tay Tuyen Quang's population accounts for over 26.2% of the total population of the province. It resides in valleys, low mountains, basins, adapted to living conditions of wet rice farming and livestock. Despite many changes, the Tày people still retain their traditional culture through housing, language, writing, community cultural activities, especially their beliefs.
Tinh tau has long been closely associated with the Tay people's Then rituals and is considered as a sacred symbol in their spiritual life. The story of the birth, the sacredness and power of the Then rituals keep passing from one generation to the next. Tinh tau has gradually assumed its presence as a sacred object in the Tay people's religious life. At present-day Tuyen Quang, Then's artisan Tinh tau specializes in singing Then, accounting for a large number compared with Then's ceremonial chimpanzee. They are mainly gifted musicians who love to sing Then - Tinh tau, and have grown up in the local cultural movement.
