Is the Spring Festival in Viet Nam the same as that in China?

Is the Spring Festival in Viet Nam the same as that in China? We all know that the Spring Festival is the most important day of the year for us, but not only in China, but also in Viet Nam. Because this country is close to our country, it is deeply influenced by our Confucian culture and religion. So how do Vietnamese celebrate the Spring Festival? Will there be a Spring Festival Gala there?

We all know that the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is a small year in northern China, and this day is the "Kitchen God Festival" of Vietnamese people, which can also be called "New Year's Eve". Moreover, their legend about the kitchen king is very similar to that of our country. Just like our country, they all buy new year's goods a week before New Year's Eve. Their traditional new year's goods must have square New Year's rice dumplings and round glutinous rice dumplings, which means rich crops. They are also the most important tributes used to worship ancestors during the Spring Festival and the "Wang Xiong Festival" on the tenth day of the third lunar month.

There will be peach blossoms, kumquat and five fruit bowls in their New Year, which are the three treasures symbolizing prosperity, and are also several things that Vietnamese people can't live without for the New Year. In their eyes, peach blossoms have the function of ward off evil spirits and bring good luck, while five fruit bowls are used to worship ancestors, symbolizing that there is more than one year, while kumquat is built and cut like a golden mountain, symbolizing wealth.

It is very important for us to post Spring Festival couplets on New Year's Eve, and it is equally important for Vietnamese, because Vietnamese and Chinese are closely related and written from top to bottom. It's just that Vietnamese Spring Festival couplets are different from China Spring Festival couplets. As the most important element in Vietnamese traditional Spring Festival, the use of Roman Spring Festival couplets truly records the change of Vietnamese character preference. But unlike us in China, Vietnamese still go to the temple to worship Buddha after they worship Buddha at home on New Year's Eve. When they return from the sacrifice, they will pick green branches and offer them at home.

Vietnamese also set off firecrackers to drive away special things during the Spring Festival. They think that the first person who comes to their home in the New Year will bring them good luck, so they usually choose a very lucky person at home. After the sacrifice, they will be the first to come into the house with branches in their hands, or they will visit the luckiest person among their relatives and friends in order to be the first visitor in the New Year and visit them at dawn. There is also a Spring Festival Gala in Viet Nam, but its name is Kitchen Jun, which is a very interesting program, but its status is the same as that in China.
