(Baonghean.vn) - In the past, the atmosphere of the countryside was bustling thanks to the sound of firecrackers in the alleys. By the village well and pond, women were busy washing dong leaves to prepare to wrap banh chung. Children were excited about their new clothes. This Tet, the material things are more abundant. However, more or less, the customs and traditional values ​​have faded...

Nghe An Newspaper had an interview with folk culture researcher Le Tai Hoe, former Principal of Nghe An College of Culture and Arts.

PV: Now, Spring has come and Lunar New Year is near. People are still looking forward to the moment of transition between the old year and the new year, to be happy like Tet. Everyone talks about Tet but many people still do not really understand what Tet is? What role does Tet play in Vietnamese people's lives? - Can you tell everyone more about Tet?
Mr. Le Tai Hoe: At the end of a year, people all over the country celebrate Tet. According to the concept of the Vietnamese people - the inhabitants of the ancient rice civilization, Tet is considered the milestone of the four seasons. Each year is divided into 24 seasons according to the agricultural crops. Thus, when the seasons of the year come back, the ancient people still celebrated many big Tets, with rich feasts and products such as Thuong Nguyen Tet, Trung Nguyen Tet, Trung Thu Tet, Ha Nguyen Tet and Nguyen Dan Tet.
Tet Nguyen Dan is different from other Tet holidays because the activities do not only take place in one day but last for many days. Tet Nguyen Dan takes place at the time when one crop season ends and another begins. Therefore, Tet Nguyen Dan is a seasonal festival, a seasonal cultural activity. And the reason why Tet Nguyen Dan is considered more important than all other Tet holidays is because according to the lunar calendar - calculated according to the moon's cycle, this is the beginning of the new year, containing many great expectations and wishes.
