The Tro Chieng Festival is considered themost anticipated festival in Thanh Hoa, which is being held since the rule ofthe Ly Dynasty. The founder of the festival is General Trinh Quoc Bao, whoserved during the reign of King Ly Thanh Tong (1054-1072) and is credited withdefeating the Chiem Thanh (Champa) invaders.

To prepare for the fight against theinvaders, who used elephant troops, the general ordered his soldiers to buildbamboo elephants to practice with. During the battle, bamboo elephants whichwere glued with fireworks attached to them were burned, helping to defeat theinvaders’ troops.

A martial arts game with bamboo elephantswas reproduced at the festival to welcome the coming of spring in 1068 and washeld by villagers of Trinh Xa village, Yen Dinh district.

Currently, the villagers hold the festivalon January 10-12 of the lunar calendar. The festival is organised on a largescale with many folk games and cultural activities, including a paper elephantfighting competition, in which groups of men hoisting paper elephants attemptto topple each other.
