Lunar New Year, or Tet, is considered the most important festival and holiday in Vietnam. All schools, companies, factories are temporarily closed. It is the occasion for family unions and gatherings when people return to their families. To prepare for this special day, most Vietnamese people prepare by cleaning and decorating their houses as well as cooking delicious foods. There are a lot of special Vietnamese customs during this time that you could learn. For example, the importance of the first person visiting the house on the new year, wishing greetings of New Year, ancestral worship, and giving lucky money to elderly people and children (aka “Li Xi” in Vietnamese language). During Tet, Vietnamese people will visit their relatives, go to pagodas and temples to pray for a better upcoming year.

The xoe dance

Today I’m going to tell you about the xoe dance, a traditional dance of the Thai ethnic group in VietNam. Thai people have followed this spiritual tradition for generations.The xoe dance expresses people’s working life and wishes for a happy and wealthy life. It is performed in both public and private gatherings such as celebrations, festivals or family reunions.The xoe dance has more than 30 forms based on the first six ancient forms. The most popular form is the ‘circle dance’ because it expresses social unity. People, young or old alike, join hands to make a circle around the fire and dance to the music. Besides the circle dance, there are dances with conical hats, paper fans or scarves. Old people say they shouldn’t break with this tradition because it reflects Thai culture and lifestyle. As a Thai folk song goes, without the xoe dance, the rice won’t grow and people won’t get married.

Dịch đoạn văn :

Hôm nay tôi sẽ kể cho bạn nghe về vũ điệu xoè , một cuộc múa truyền thống của nhóm dân tộc Thái ở Việt Nam. Người Thái đã theo truyền thống tâm linh này qua nhiều thế hệ.

Điệu nhảy xoè thể hiện cuộc sống làm việc của mọi người và mong muốn có một cuộc sống hạnh phúc và giàu có. Nó được trình diễn trong cả các buổi họp mặt công cộng và tư nhân như lễ hội, lễ hội hay hội ngộ gia đình.

Điệu nhảy xoè có hơn 30 dạng dựa trên sáu hình thức cổ xưa đầu tiên. Hình thức phổ biến nhất là xoè vòng vì nó thể hiện sự đoàn kết xã hội. Mọi người, trẻ hay già, tham gia để tạo vòng tròn quanh lửa và nhảy theo nhạc. Bên cạnh điệu nhảy vòng tròn, có những điệu múa với mũ nón, quạt giấy hoặc khăn quàng cổ.

Người già nói rằng họ không nên phá vỡ truyền thống này vì nó phản ánh văn hoá và lối sống Thái Lan. Như một bài hát dân gian Thái Lan đi, nếu không có nhảy xoè , mùa màng ko bội thu và mọi người sẽ không kết hôn.

The traditional game festival
I took part in a traditional games festival in my school in HCM City (chỗ này có thể thay thế được). The festival lasted for one day. There were three activities in this festival: water-fetching by hand, tug of war and mandarin square capturing. In the water-fatching by hand contest, three people from each team had to get the water by hand and pour the water into the bottle. In tug of war, ten people from each team have to pull a rope in the opposite direction from the other team. In mandarin square capturing, five people from each team placed one big stone in each of the rice field squares. The first player took up all the pieces of any rice field square on his/her side of the board and distributed one piece per square starting at the next square in either direction. When all five pieces are distributed, the player would repeat again and another player do the same too.The game ended when all the pieces are captured. After the three contests my group won the second prize. The festival was wonderful.

On the occasion, I attended a local festival. It is the Temple Festival. There are many interesting activities such as: balloon piercing, monkey bridge, or dance festival. The most interesting thing is the balloon piercing, 120 coins, ten darts, players in turn use the darts in the balloons too explosive it, if from seven or more will get a big teddy bear thunder. A monkey festival is held on a pond or lake. At the end of the bridge, coins are placed with different values. The player must skillfully cross the bridge and then, at the end of the bridge, take a coin. hanging there, who is not careful is falling into the water soon.
