Nghi thức cúng ông Công ông Táo
Lễ cúng ông Công, ông Táo được tiến hành từ ngày 17 đến ngày 23 tháng Chạp, lễ vật tùy từng gia đình nhưng phải có 3 bộ mũ áo, hài và cá chép.
Lễ cúng Táo quân gắn với sự tích ông Táo với nhiều dị bản. Các thư tịch cổ liên quan đều cho rằng tập quán này có nguồn từ tục thờ "Ngũ tự", để trả công cho 5 vị thần trong gia đình: thần Cổng (Môn thần), thần Cửa (Hộ thần), thần Cửa sổ (Trung lưu thần), thần Bếp (Táo thần) và thần Đường đi trong nhà (Hành thần).

Lại có thuyết khác nói "Ngũ tự" gồm 5 vị: thần Bếp (Táo thần), thần Giếng (Tĩnh thần), thần Cửa (Môn thần), thần Nhà (Hộ thần), thần Cửa sổ (Trung lưu thần) hoặc 5 vị: thần Bếp (Táo thần), thần Đất (Thổ công), tổ nghề (Tiên sư), thần cửa (Môn gia hộ úy), thần bảo hộ sức khỏe con người và vật nuôi (nhân súc Y thần)...

Trong 5 vị gia thần, Táo quân, Thổ địa và Môn thần được thờ cúng phổ biến nhất. Táo quân được coi là vị thần chủ về phúc đức trong gia đình với tên gọi đầy đủ là "Đông trù tư mệnh Táo phủ thần quân".

Known in English as the Kitchen God, Ong Tao is a pretty eccentric character. He sticks strictly to rubber boots and shorts under his áo dài, and in the final week of the lunar year, he rides a carp to heaven to report the news from earth.

For all his oddities, the story of this venerated figure is not so lighthearted. In fact, Ong Tao himself is the amalgamation of three separate figures – Tho Dia, Tho Cong and Tho Ky – who oversee matters of the family, business and kitchen, respectively.

Vietnamese Culture - Tet - Vietnamese Lunar New Year


Lunar New Year in Vietnam

Tet Holiday is the biggest annual celebration of Vietnam in the first days of lunar New Year. During these days, people welcome a new coming year with good health, lucks and success. Tet holiday is very special for Vietnamese families to reunite and celebrate together.

The preparation for Tet holiday is taken place very soon because it requires many steps. All members of families clean and redecorate their houses together. Then, they buy food, drink such as cookies, sweets, candied fruit, melon seeds...to offer their guests and to store because in this occasion, many shops are closed. A branch of peach flower or a kumquat tree cannot be absent from every home during these special days. Children are the most eager, as their parents will buy them new clothes. In addition to buying things, many Vietnamese families make Chung cake, pickled onion, frozen meat, which are our country's traditional food on Tet holiday. We decorate ancestral altars with a five-fruit tray, vegetables, sweets, and flowers.

In the last day of the previous year, people become more excited as they feel that the New Year is very near to them. Everybody all waits for the sacred moment when the clock points 0 am and fireworks light up everywhere to wish for health, lucks and happiness in the next year. Streets are extremely crowded. On contrary, in the first morning of the year, everything seems peaceful and quiet as people want to sleep longer to enjoy the moment with their cozy family. However, there are some families getting up early to come back to their hometown to visit their ancestors' graves and relatives. From noon on, everybody go to their neighbors' houses to wish them a happy new year. Children in new clothes are very excited, as they will get lucky money from adults.

There are many activities to welcome new coming spring in this occasion. Children usually take up pens to write their first essay, hoping for good results in school. In spring festivals, everyone especially the young takes part in the traditional games such as rollercoaster, tug of war, cooking rice, c**k fighting etc. to express their happiness while farmers wish for bumper crops. Women often go to pagodas to show Buddha their hearts and wish their families good things and power to avoid bad lucks. During the first days of New Year, Vietnamese people do things that are supposed to be good for themselves and their loved ones such as wearing red clothes, buying salt, taking chance or praying... and avoid saying taboos(related to death, breaking...). Each region in Vietnam has it own customs to celebrate Tet, which are very special and unique.

"Tet" is the word that is very familiar to Vietnamese people whenever we think about our country. This is the time for family reunion, for festivals, and for people to give love to their loved one. As for me, I enjoy the warm and cozy Tet's atmosphere when all members of my family stay and talk together.
