(Baonghean.vn) - The Hmong people usually celebrate their traditional New Year earlier than the Kinh people. The traditional New Year is an occasion for the Hmong people to have fun and meet each other after a year of hard work. Therefore, no matter how far away they work, Hmong people remember their traditional New Year and return to light incense for their ancestors.
Celebrating Tet (Lunar New Year) with the Hmong people in Pha Khao village, Mai Son commune, Tuong Duong district is an opportunity to discover unique customs, rituals, and cultural traditions preserved through generations. The games, songs, and the melodious sounds of the Hmong flute further strengthen the solidarity among the ethnic communities.
