Flower arrangement and offering arrangement contest for the National Ancestors

This is one of the activities within the framework of the Hung Kings' Commemoration Festival in 2025, to commemorate the Hung Kings' merits and promote the nation's tradition of "remembering the source of water when drinking".

7. Colorful festival space and national spirit

Festival space is colorful and full of national spirit

This year's competition attracted 23 teams, representing departments, branches, organizations, schools, tourism businesses and religious establishments in Da Lat city. Each team brought to the competition space not only creativity in installation art but also a sincere heart to the National Ancestors - those who opened up the borders and built the country from the dawn of national history.

Each offering conveys sincere respect to the National Ancestor.

From traditional ingredients such as banh chung, banh giay, banh khao ngu sac, banh troi, fresh flowers and local specialty fruits, the teams have invested carefully in both the form and content of the presentation. The offerings are elaborately designed, with a tight layout, expressing the national spirit and regional culture; at the same time, conveying good wishes for national peace and prosperity, favorable weather and wind, and a prosperous country.

Traditional offerings combine harmoniously with fresh flowers

Creative in decoration, reminiscent of homeland images

Many teams created maps of Vietnam, Dong Son bronze drums, dragons, phoenixes, and flagpoles using flowers, leaves, and fruits with sophisticated arrangements, expressing cultural depth and national pride. Small details such as traditional patterns, the colors of offerings, and the way cakes are arranged were also carefully crafted to ensure both aesthetics and high symbolism.

Every detail is a deep gratitude to ancestors.

The offering tray is both aesthetic and spiritually meaningful.

Notably, the offerings are not merely for show but are also imbued with profound cultural messages. If banh chung and banh giay symbolize heaven and earth, then the colors of flowers and fruits symbolize the sincerity, warmth, and fullness that today’s generation wants to offer to their ancestors.

According to the representative of the Organizing Committee, the goal of the contest is not only to create a meaningful cultural activity on the occasion of the Ancestor's Death Anniversary, but also to arouse the spirit of solidarity, raise public awareness of preserving and promoting national cultural values. Thereby, generations, especially the youth, will understand better, be more proud and more responsible for the heritage left by their ancestors.

Every detail is a deep gratitude to ancestors.

At the end of the competition, the best trays of offerings will be selected as the official offerings to the Hung Kings during the Ancestor Commemoration Ceremony at Au Lac Temple. This is not only a reward for their diligence and creativity, but also a sincere gratitude from the people of Lam Dong to their ancestors.

The offerings are elaborately arranged, imbued with traditional culture.

The 2025 Flower Arrangement and Offerings Competition for the National Ancestors has left a strong impression on the connection between tradition and modernity. Through offerings imbued with national spirit, Lam Dong people once again affirmed the spirit of preserving cultural values, pride and gratitude - which are the source of lasting spiritual strength of the Vietnamese people.
