On Chinese New Year

      Spring was coming. Landscaping vendors are rushing to prepare for a new business season. The heart also becomes more joyful, optimistic. Together they look back on a past journey of a year old. Then the dream together for a nice new year and have a lot of luck.

      My country, Lunar New Year is the most important holidays of the year. It is similar to the national Christmas Catholic Church. On Chinese New Year, in the heart of every people in Vietnam are longing and desire to return home. Whether they do business in the city or live in another country. Then on the day of Lunar New Year, their hearts always toward family, home, and ancestors, his origins. The elderly and young children during the Lunar New Year is often a gift to others. With young children, they often give it money or candy with wishes it fast growth, healthy and successful in life. With older people often donate money and gifts preference, and economic conditions for desired wishes them health and long life!
       In the family of the people of Vietnam always full of food. There are many dishes that are normal people just processed in Tet. Those are traditional dishes like vermicelli chicken hearts, chicken boiled, frozen meat, rice cakes, ... A banquet in the day Tet dishes usually have a lot of deck called Tet. On Chinese New Year despite a poor family still try shopping for his family a luxury New Year feast. They do so not because the artist impressions, but with the desire to estimate demand for a new year rich life, filled. On the 30th Festival, presented to families ancestral memorial table a luxurious banquet, invite the ancestors to burn incense before the relish, then brought down to our children eat. On the ancestral memorial table in each family always burn incense for 3 Tet. In the middle of the altar was a large plate containing at least 5 fruits commonly called fruit tray. Each type of fruit on the plate that usually represents a good estimate for the proposal of a new year. A fun thing to do in the Lunar New Year in Vietnam is in every family on this occasion often exhibited trees, flowers and indispensable scene kumquat and peach flowers, with wishes for a new year to mount and wealthy. In the early days, people used to go to the temple to pray for good luck and success for the new year. This is an opportunity for families or groups of friends organized but spring outing, or hold a party meeting. With Vietnamese, Tet is a great holiday of the year. The Tet visit each other in showing intimate level, and the level of respect that relationship. With Vietnam, when alive, the most important New Year's Day, when death is the most important day has died. So on the day of Lunar New Year, families usually go Tet customs relatives, friends and superiors!
      Although spent Lunar New Year 32 times. But my heart still throbs when Tet coming days, and the return spring. On this occasion, in the markets and supermarkets stocked food, fresh flowers, home decorations, and shoppers. Sometimes they go to the market on the occasion of the upcoming New Year's Day to see the merchandise. On the face of the porters at the market on the occasion of the coming New Year, there is always a busy, excited and joyful. Their smiles are always very refreshing since ended a year of hard working, now is the time they enjoy the fruits of their labor. So they wear jewelry revel in the festivities. And Vietnam is one of the countries with the world's festivals. The majority of festivals are held in the spring season. Spring is also the season where one or choose to organize weddings for young couples most of the year. Thus, the memory of the spring, the Lunar New Year is always very nice in the heart of every people in Vietnam.
