Young people still have positive feelings about Tet, while
middle-aged people have neutral feelings. For most
Vietnamese, Tet still has traditional signature when tied with

Conclusion
family gatherings and unions, as well as these familiar symbols
glued in the mind of every citizen - each region, the traditional
customs related to “pray for holiness. be patient for good”

However, most people have a different feeling about the


modern New Year than the old one, when life is full of variety
but the Tet atmosphere and traditional activities gradually fade
away

Tet brings Vietnamese people both hope and concerns. Hope


for family love, finance and health, but it also comes with
negative emotions in terms of age and economy or as simple as
cleaning the house is also a problem, especially for young
people.
The main Tet activities are gathering family, relatives, friends
and colleagues. Besides that, there is also a group of more self-
centered activities such as home entertainment or traveling
during Tet holiday.
