Every year the most important, spiritual, and meaningful
ceremony of the Vietnamese is Tet Nguyen Dan.
Tet means New Year.
Nguyen means the beginning
and Dan means early morning.
Tet Nguyen Dan therefore means the beginning of a fresh
new year. Tet is the celebration of the change of nature,
the change between winter and spring. Tet is also a reunion
of members in the family to show faith and respect to
ancestors and older people, to express love and care for
friends and relatives, to show forgiveness to one another
and most of all, Tet is a time to relax and enjoy after
a year of hard work. Finally, Tet is the most important
cultural event of the Vietnamese people.
