The scent of old incense – The elegant beauty and lasting values ​​of Vietnamese Tet

When the winter winds gradually thin out, people’s hearts seem to flutter before the footsteps of spring. In that atmosphere, among the yellow of apricot blossoms and the pink of peach blossoms, there is a very unique beauty from the old coriander branches – a simple flower but containing a deep soul of the countryside.

Coriander, a type of aromatic herb in the rustic meals of Vietnamese people. From the first days of spring, tiny coriander seeds are sown in the ground, growing under the care of farmers, becoming an indispensable vegetable on the simple meal tray.

Then when winter passes, the old, bare branches of coriander and the tiny white flowers bring with them the beauty of transition, both elegant and familiar, both simple and imbued with traditional cultural values.

Simple but elegant, gentle but profound

Not as brilliant as the yellow apricot blossom, not as elegant as the peach blossom, the scent of old attracts with its graceful, simple yet elegant beauty. The small branches of flowers with pure white color seem to carry within them a sense of peace, a message that all the worries and dust of the old year will eventually pass, giving way to new, cleaner things.

Putting a vase of coriander in the house during Tet is a way for Vietnamese people to express their belief in a pure and promising beginning. Not only beautifying the space, the vase of coriander also evokes a sense of peace, reminding people to cherish simple and rustic things.

The scent evokes memories of Tet in the past

The scent of old coriander is not strong but light, but it makes people remember forever. It is like a scent of memories, bringing us back to the old Tet days, when mother or grandmother prepared a pot of coriander leaf water for bathing before New Year's Eve.

The pot of fragrant water is not only a cleansing of the outside but also a way for Vietnamese people to purify their souls, let go of worries, to welcome the new year with a peaceful and bright mind. The scent is also a whisper of time. It reminds those who are far from home of the image of the small kitchen, where grandmother picks each branch of coriander, where children run around the pot of fragrant water.

It is that fragrance that connects generations, becoming an indispensable part of the Vietnamese Tet flavor.

Poor but noble, simple but profound

A flower that does not need to show off its brilliant colors, does not demand attention, but still exudes elegance and gentleness. It is a testament to the harmony between natural beauty and spiritual value, making anyone who sees it feel moved.

In the modern life, when traditional values ​​gradually fade away, a small jar of old coriander is still enough to stir up nostalgia, awaken beautiful memories in the soul. Looking at the old coriander branch, people suddenly realize that life does not need luxury; sometimes, it is the simplest things that make us feel the most complete and profound.

New Year wishes from a vase of old coriander flowers

In the peaceful atmosphere of Tet, a jar of old coriander not only brings rustic beauty but also conveys a profound message. Let the scent remind us that purity of soul is the most precious gift to welcome the new year.

On the occasion of the New Year, I would like to send you and your family my most sincere wishes. May the New Year bring you much joy, peace, and happiness. I hope that, like the elegant old coriander branches, your life will always be gentle, profound, and meaningful.

The old scented pot – a small corner of Vietnamese Tet – will forever be a symbol of elegance, humility, and the unchanging spirit of Vietnamese people through many generations. When Tet comes, let the scent of old scent seep into your soul, so that you can slow down, love more, and cherish the sacred values ​​in life.

The light scent of spring

I left a mark of much joy!
