SKĐS - In recent years, on the occasion of March 10 (Lunar calendar), people in the homeland prepare a reunion meal and burn incense to express gratitude to the Hung Kings for their contributions to building the country. This is also a beautiful cultural feature and is increasingly being replicated in localities.

Since 2019, the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day Organizing Committee - Hung Temple Festival has encouraged families to prepare offerings to their ancestors and Hung Kings. Since then, this movement has spread to many families in Phu Tho province.
Worshiping ancestors with specific offerings and rituals, including preparing a tray of food to offer to ancestors on the National Death Anniversary, is a unique and most obvious cultural beauty in the process of practicing the Hung King Worship. Thereby, it contributes to affirming the Hung King Worship in Phu Tho as a representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
With a sincere heart, the annual Hung King's Commemoration Day has become an occasion for the people of the homeland to prepare a family reunion meal and burn incense to express gratitude to the Hung Kings for their contributions to the country's founding. This is a cultural beauty that is increasingly being spread in localities.
Some images captured by reporters from Health and Life Newspaper captured the atmosphere of preparing family reunion meals and burning incense to show gratitude to the Hung Kings who built the country at the family of Mr. Trieu Van Dao (Hy Cuong commune, Viet Tri city, Phu Tho).
In the deep spiritual flow of Vietnamese people, ancestor worship is a unique cultural beauty. Accordingly, families will prepare a meal with traditional dishes, especially banh chung and banh day which are indispensable dishes in the offering tray to King Hung.
Every year, on the occasion of Hung King's death anniversary, many families hold worship ceremonies with the hope of receiving the blessings of their ancestors for their family and descendants.
For people in communes near the Hung Kings Temple Historical Site, preparing a feast to pay tribute to the Hung Kings has become a beautiful tradition that has been maintained for many years.
The offering tray includes traditional dishes.
Each locality will have different ways of preparing, choosing dishes and displaying them, but the common point is that banh chung and banh day are indispensable in the offering tray to ancestors, because these are two products associated with the story of filial piety of Prince Lang Lieu in the reign of the 6th Hung King.
All of them express their sincerity to their ancestors with the wish to pray for good crops, for all things to grow and flourish; for family and clan members to unite, strive to study, work hard, and love each other.
The offerings on the anniversary of the death of the ancestors are different from the offerings on Tet. According to the explanation of researcher Nguyen Hung Vi: "The reason people choose banh chung and banh day is because they are two products of the Hung King period, symbolizing the growth of all species. Rice is also the product that King Hung taught people to grow rice, it is a daily food, so in the offering tray there is sticky rice, there is also non-sticky rice, as well as yin and yang, which will give rise to growth".
Gratitude trays for the Hung Kings on the occasion of Hung Kings' death anniversary in families show their respect and gratitude.
