Traditional festivals constitute a form of cultural activities, a spiritual product which the people have created and developed during the course of history. From generations to generations, the Vietnamese people preserve the old saying “When you eat a fruit, think of the man who planted the tree”.
Festivals represent the national spirit of the commune or village, the local region or even the whole nation. By worshipping the same god, the people unite in solidarity to overcome difficulties, striving for a happy and wealthy life. Festivals are also the time people can express their sadness and worries in a wish that gods might bestow favour on them to help them strive for a better life.
