From the Kitchen Gods to lowering the pole

🧧 Lunar New Year — Tết

The whole Vietnamese Tết on one living timeline: 18 customs from the 23rd of the last lunar month to the 7th day of the new year — what each rite means, how the North, Centre and South do it differently, and what to avoid. Every milestone shows its real solar date for the coming Tết, counted down live to the second.

Customs follow widely-taught folk tradition; regional variations are noted per milestone and vary further by family. Lunar-to-solar dates are computed with the same Hồ Ngọc Đức algorithm (UTC+7) used across this site's lunar tools.
