The battle that began during the early morning hours of January 31, 1968, was the Tet Offensive, a coordinated series of attacks by North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces against South Vietnamese and U.S. military targets. Launched during the Tet Nguyen Dan, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, the offensive aimed to surprise and galvanize the Vietnamese population against the South Vietnamese government and its American allies. Despite initial successes and widespread attacks across the country, the Tet Offensive ultimately ended in a military defeat for the North, but it significantly shifted public perception of the war in the United States.
The 3 most commonly holidays celebrated are Tet ( like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and your Birthday combined) ,Tet Trung Thu (mid-autumn festival), and Labor Day.
"TET" is a Vietnamese word for Lunar New Year. Its original meaning comes from an old Vietnamese term "Tiet" which literally means an internode of a bamboo stem. Figuratively, "Tiet" is used to denote the transition between consecutive seasons or periods with distinctive change in weather features. In that context, "Tet" comes to present the transition between winter and spring, or that between the arrival of new year and the depature of old year. The full name "Tet Nguyen Dan" bears the meaning of "First moment of new day" (or "the arrival of dawn") which implicitly means "The beginning of a new phase".
