Which customs of Lunar New Year in Vietnam are different from ours

Hello! This is harder to generalize. China is too big, there are many regions in the country have different customs for the New Year. For example, in the north, you must eat dumplings, but not necessarily in the south. In some places, it's 23 for Zao, and in others, it's 24 for Zao.

Vietnamese Lunar New Year customs are more unique:

1, eat dumplings for the festival. With banana leaves wrapped in four square large dumplings, usually soybean pork filling, very tasty. This is different from the vast majority of China, but in Guangxi there is the same custom, the New Year also eat such dumplings.

2, New Year's Day to buy a peach blossom, kumquat at home. This is also similar in Guangdong, China, but the rest of China is less, after all, it is cold, flowers ah orange has not yet opened it.

3, Vietnam's Spring Festival has a custom called "xong tet", called punch the year, punch happy. That is, in the early hours of the first day of the morning, to see who is the first to their own home to pay tribute to the New Year, it is said that this person will affect their family's fortunes in the new year. So some families who pay attention will first go to ask a feng shui fortune teller to see what Chinese astrological sign is the most auspicious for people to come to their homes to punch the New Year this year, and then make an agreement with their people in advance.

4, Vietnam is also the 23rd day of the lunar month to send stove, but there is no custom of welcoming the God of Wealth on the first five days. There is the term "Lantern Festival", but there is no longer a custom.

That's all.
