Abstract: "There are many unique traditional customs of the national races of Myanmar who are living in
the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. The study of the traditional customs of a national race of
Myanmar is the best way to learn about the traditional customs of
Myanmar. The culture of a
country is its life-blood. If the culture of a country had disappeared, the people of this country
will be vanished completely. Today is the globalization age, therefore, preservation of our own
culture is very necessary for all.
As Dawei
is situated in the southern part of the Republic of the
Union of Myanmar, it is far from upper and central Myanmar. As a result, the traditional customs
of Dawei
people are different from the others. As Dawei
is located at the inner part of
Tanintharyi
coastal region, it is a region where ancient traditional culture, folk songs, traditional
dance and dialects can be preserved. The study focused on the unique traditional customs of
Dawei
People which are different from the traditional customs of oth
er national races of
Myanmar. This paper emphasizes some traditional customs of
Daweis
and famous religious
festivals preserved untill today. It will contribute to understand the preservation of traditional
customs of
Dawei people and their preservations.".....Paper delivered at the International Conference on Burma/Myanmar Studies: Burma/Myanmar in Transition: Connectivity, Changes and Challenges: University Academic Service Centre (UNISERV), Chiang Mai University, Thailand, 24-26 July 2015.
