“

“

and festival in Vietnam. It is the Vietnamese New Year which is based on the Chinese calendar , a lunar calendar . The

name Tet Nguyen Dan in Vietnamese is Feast of the first morning in English.

Tet is celebrated on the same day as Chinese New Year though exceptions arise due to the difference in time zone

between Hanoi and Beijing. Tet shares many of the same customs of its Chinese counterpart. It is celebrated from the

first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar, around late January or early February until at least the third day. Many

Vietnamese prepare for Tet by cooking special food, decorating and cleaning their houses. During Tet Holiday,

Vietnamese visit their families, pagodas and temples, forgetting the troubles of the past year and hoping for a better

coming year. Tet traditionally marks the coming of Spring, so Spring is sometimes used instead of Tet in Vietnamese.

Vietnamese usually return to their homes during Tet . Some return to worship at the family altar or visit the graves of their

ancestors. Others return to where they grew up. Although Tet is a main holiday among Vietnamese, each region and

religion has its own customs.
