Abstract

The Crop-Praying Festival of the Dao Quan Trang people in Yen Thanh Commune, Yen Binh District, Yen Bai Province, is a significant ritual closely tied to the agricultural production activities of the community. This festival is an occasion for the people to pray for abundant harvests, prosperous lives, and the development of their villages through rituals, music, and language. It serves as an opportunity for the community to strengthen their belief in traditional values while preserving and promoting their long-standing spiritual heritage. This article examines the Crop-Praying Festival from the perspective of sociolinguistics, aiming to clarify the relationship between language and the cultural and social elements within the festival. Through this lens, it highlights how language is used to maintain community cohesion, reflect social characteristics, and express social relationships. Furthermore, the study showcases the aspirations for sustainable development, the preservation of cultural identity, and the connection between humans, nature, and the spiritual world.
