(CLO) Tet Nguyen Dan, also known as Lunar New Year, is not only the biggest holiday of the year for Vietnamese people, but also a symbol of reunion, new beginnings and rich cultural identity. Tet is not only a time for people to temporarily put aside their busy lives to return to their families, but also an opportunity for each person to look back on traditional values and preserve the national spirit.
1. Tet is a unique time when tradition and modernity blend together. During these days, traditional cultural values such as ancestor worship, making banh chung and banh tet, or New Year wishes imbued with national beauty still retain their strong vitality.

Although modern life has changed the way people celebrate Tet, the warm feeling of the whole family gathering around the Tet feast and exchanging red lucky money envelopes has not faded.
At the same time, new trends such as green Tet and minimalist Tet are also becoming more and more popular. Many families choose to reduce cumbersome rituals, instead focusing on experiential activities such as traveling, volunteering or organizing creative events, bringing a new Tet nuance while still maintaining the traditional core.
Cultural research expert, Professor Dr. Nguyen Khac Thuan, believes that in Vietnamese culture, Tet always brings good things and hope. Tet is when people forget all the bad and unfortunate things of the old year. Therefore, this is also a very meaningful way of living and teaching life.
2. For many people, Tet is not just a holiday, but also a journey back to memories. It is the taste of braised pork cooked by mother, the smell of incense on the ancestral altar, or the sound of laughter at the family dinner table.
Tet is also a time for us to look back on the past journey, express gratitude to loved ones and start a new year with full hope.
Moreover, Tet is also an opportunity for Vietnamese people all over the world to connect with their roots. Even though they live far from home, every Tet, the Vietnamese community organizes activities such as making banh chung, lion dances, or family meals to keep the cultural fire burning and remind each other of their homeland.
3. In the hustle and bustle of life, preserving the value of Vietnamese Tet is a big challenge. However, maintaining traditional rituals, educating the younger generation about the meaning of Tet, or creating new Tet activities suitable for the times are ways to keep Vietnamese Tet forever a symbol of national identity.
Tet is not just a holiday, it is a time to slow down, to appreciate the present, and to deepen the value of connection.
Through the ups and downs of history, Tet still holds a special place in the hearts of every Vietnamese person, as a testament to the fact that: no matter how much time passes, what belongs to culture and origin will always be the strength for us to rise up and develop.
