According to tradition, the Lunar New Year is when deities ascend to heaven, so people need "treasures" like the New Year's pole to protect themselves and ward off evil spirits while people celebrate. Over time, with the abundance of offerings hung on the pole, the New Year's pole has come to be regarded as a cosmic tree connecting earth and heaven, embodying the Vietnamese people's sense of territoriality.The movement of households, neighborhoods, and even districts making New Year's poles has created impressive routes adorned with poles to welcome the Lunar New Year throughout the countryside.Each of these routes possesses its own unique beauty, adding to the enchanting and warm atmosphere of the Tet holiday in Nghe An province.In the photo: A road decorated with Tet decorations in Thanh An commune (Thanh Chuong district).

Due to changing consumer preferences, Tet poles are increasingly being adorned with more accessories, especially ready-made poles purchased from stalls selling them. Many poles are overloaded with various models (moon, stars, airplanes, etc.), making them look like a "general store" display. (Photo: Huy Thu) |

According to experienced players, small, weak poles should not have overly heavy accessories attached, as this can cause the top of the pole to bend and easily break in the rain. Photo: Huy Thu |

Even after the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, some households continue to erect New Year's poles to welcome the New Year. In the photo: People in Do Luong work together to complete the New Year's poles at night. Photo: Huy Thu. |
