In Viet Nam festivals often take place during the three months in spring and in autumn when
people have a lot of leisure time. In addition, the climate in spring and autumn is especially suitable
for holding festivals and for festivals goers to enjoy. Traditional festivals constitute a form of cultural
activities, a spiritual product which the people have created and developed during the course of
history. From generation to generation, the Vietnamese people preserve the fine tradition of
“remembering the source while drinking water.” Festivals are events which represent this tradition of
the community as well as honour the holy figures named as “gods” -the real persons in national history
or legendary persons. The images of gods converge the noble characteristics of mankind. They are
national heroes who fought against foreign invaders, reclaimed new lands, treated people, fought
against natural calamities, or those legendary characters who affect the earthly life.
MÃ ĐỀ: 102 2
Accordingly, first and foremost, festivals are events when people pay tribute to divinities
that rendered merits to the community and the nation. These are occasions when people come back to
either their natural or national roots, which form a sacred part in their mind. Furthermore, festivals
represent the strength of the commune or village, the local region or even the whole nation.
Worshipping the same god, the people unite in solidarity to overcome difficulties, striving for a happy
and wealthy life.
Moreover, festivals display the demand for creativity and enjoyment of spiritual and material
cultural values of all social strata. They become a form of education under which fine traditional moral
values can be handed from one generation to the next in a unique way of combining spiritual
characters with competition and entertainment games. 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.
