On the morning of February 2, at the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long (Hanoi), the Thang Long Heritage Conservation Center solemnly organized the ceremony "Toss the old and the new".
In the history of the Vietnamese people, our ancestors have always passed down good customs and traditions to maintain the indispensable beauty of the Lunar New Year; Among them, it is impossible not to mention the custom "Tell the old, welcome the new" - which is to put the old away and welcome the new.
This custom is often prepared after sending Mr. Tao back to heaven. That is the time to clean up thoroughly from inside the house to the outside, paint the house, clean the tables and chairs, and prepare food; Get rid of all the bad luck, get rid of the hardships of the old year and make room for the good luck that is coming in the new year.
After a period of research, the Thang Long-Hanoi Heritage Conservation Center coordinated with the Thang Long Cultural Heritage Association to successfully restore this ritual.
