TPO - Lunar New Year is considered the oldest and most important holiday for Vietnamese people. However, not all ethnic groups in our country celebrate the New Year on this occasion. Which ethnic groups are they?
The correct answer is B: The Cham people have two major festivals considered as New Year celebrations: Pang Katê (July 1st according to the Cham calendar, approximately September in the Gregorian calendar) and Pang Chabư (July 16th according to the Cham calendar, approximately February-March in the Gregorian calendar). According to Cham beliefs, Pang Katê is a festival honoring the ancient Cham kings who contributed to the founding of the nation and guided the development of agriculture. This festival belongs to the father, symbolizing the masculine principle (yang), and is celebrated in the early morning. Meanwhile, Pang Chabư is a festival honoring the female deities Po Giang. They are Cham queens and princesses, belonging to the maternal lineage, symbolizing the feminine principle (yin), and are celebrated in the evening.
