What Is Tet Nguyen Dan?
Tet Nguyen Dan is more commonly known by its shortened name "tet" or Vietnamese lunar new year. Tet is the main holiday all common Vietnamese share and celebrate. It's just not a holiday but also a festival throughout its country and small Vietnamese community share to this day. Vietnamese New Year arrival is during the spring based on the Chinese calendar, aka lunular calendar. Also to let you know tet is celebrated on the same day as Chinese new year, exception of leap year which happen every 4 years. Tet. is a huge celebrations lasting three to five days. Families save money, store food, and plan far in advance for tet, major holiday in Vietnam. They take extreme care to start the New Year out right. They buy new clothes, paint and clean their homes, cook three days' worth of food, pay off all debts and make amends to rid themselves of all bad feelings, cleaning is frowned on during tet because one would not want to sweep out any good luck. Digging and drawing water is also not allowed so the ground and water can enjoy the holiday. Tet is a time for family and friends to visits each other. The first visitor to a home is very important, if the first visitor is rich, prestigious, or happy then the family will have good fortune that year. Usually this visitor is a relative, but sometimes the family will invites a special guest that they feel will bring them good luck. the second day of tet is set aside for special guest and close friends to visit, and the day is for teach and business associates to make a visit. Negative talks and arguments are "taboo". My people believe that our deceased ancestors will visit the family for the holidays. Alters are decorated in the homes with incense, flowers, and photographs of deceased relatives. A tray full of fruits, food, money, and flowers are offer to the ancestors. All Vietnamese people want their died love family member to come by and visit: "It's good luck" according to Vietnamese people
