How does Vietnam celebrate the Spring Festival?

Hello! Vietnamese also use the lunar calendar to celebrate the Spring Festival with China.

Vietnamese Spring Festival customs are very distinctive:

1, eat zongzi on holidays. Square jiaozi wrapped in banana leaves, usually filled with soybean and pork, is very delicious. This is different from most parts of China, but Guangxi has the same custom, and it is also eaten during the New Year.

2. Buy a peach blossom kumquat at home during the New Year. This is similar in China and Guangdong, but less in other parts of China. After all, it's cold, and the flowers and oranges haven't opened yet.

There is a custom called "xong tet" in Vietnamese Spring Festival, which is called "Chong Nian" and "Chong Xi". It is after the early morning of the first day to see who is the first to pay a New Year call to his family. It is said that this person will affect his family's fortune in the new year. Therefore, some valued families will first ask a geomantic fortune teller to see what kind of person will be the most lucky to come to their home this year, and then make an appointment with him in advance.

Vietnam also sends stoves on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, but it doesn't meet the god of wealth on the 5th of the twelfth lunar month. There is a word "Lantern Festival", but there is no such custom.

5. Counting years are still used in Vietnam. For example, most Vietnamese people know that this year is the year of Xin Mao.
