Traditional Tet - Cultural beauty of Vietnamese people (Part 1)

For Vietnamese people, Tet is both close and sacred. Close because Tet is a cultural activity once a year, associated with people's life steps right from birth, growing up and adulthood. Tet is like a window of time closing the old year to welcome a new year with excitement, sadness, and longing.
In Vietnamese beliefs, red is the color of luck and peace. Red symbolizes a new beginning, for good things to come in the new year. During Tet, Vietnamese houses are often decorated with red items such as red parallel sentences, red lanterns, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, etc. Decorating the house with red has meaning. Wishing you a happy, prosperous, and joy-filled new year.
