An array of other activities included in the event, such as an offering ritual, and a title “Meritorious Artisan” presented to Nguyen Van Se, who has made efforts in maintaining and popularizing the game among local residents.

After that, the participants, divided into three teams, took part in the game, which symbolizes the desire of farmers for bumper crops and favorable weather conditions.

As scheduled, in mid-April, a Vietnamese delegation will visit the Republic of Korea and join a juldarigi (Korean tug of war) game with local people.
