Trud Dance is a Mon-Khmer cultural heritage that Khmer people in the mountains, such as the Samre Sui and Por, as well as the Khmer people in Sisaket, Surin, Siem Reap, Pursat, Battambang and some other people in other provinces, especially ministries, institutions, both state and Most private people always celebrate during Khmer New Year or when wild animals run into the village. As for the Chinese, they have a Hmong dance to chase away evil spirits.

In fact, this traditional dance is a celebration from the old year to the new year, from misfortune to abundance. The word trud refers to the time when the old year breaks to wander into the new year. In this sense, the Trudeau dance that is held is to determine the crossroads of each year in the view of the Cambodians who lived in the highlands and plains.

Therefore, in this Passover, they bless the new year with a happy new year. In the same sense, not celebrating the Passover or not celebrating the dance in any way can bring any sorrow. This is the first meaning of the Trudeau dance. The second meaning is similar to this, that is, they dance the trud dance when wild animals such as deer fight enter the village. Also, this ceremony is called the village ceremony or the village dance ceremony.

The main symbol of this trot dance is to emphasize the deeper meaning in addition to the presence of the dancers holding the sign for the lyric, the presence of the dancers holding a curved stick, acting in a different way, like a plow representing a bell at the end. Or peacock feathers. Another main symbol is the presence of two other dancers who dance to imitate the leopard that flirts with each other with leopard horns on their heads. Please be informed that these two deer dancers represent the hunter chasing the hunted deer. Another case that shows the sacred nature of this dance is the presence of a wild man with a black face, a head covered with flowers and leaves as a guardian angel of the mountain forest that helps hunters in hunting.

Thus, through the presence of the characters, the dancers who are animals or plants, angels who represent good or bad instincts, we can distinguish the sacred nature of the Trudeau dance, which is the New Year's Eve of our Cambodian people. There is animism and, moreover, the role of this dance in Cambodian society is to provide happiness to the people in the society by re-consolidating their solidarity. Such a view is certainly not an Indian cultural heritage, but a Mon-Khmer cultural heritage that is thousands of years old and has a lasting value to this day. It is in this cross-dance ceremony that the unity of Cambodians of all walks of life must be strengthened in order to achieve progress and happiness with hope. Another sacred feature of the Trudeau dance is the belief in ancestors under the image of a deer or peacock, which reflects the religious unity. Please be informed that the minority
