Things to do during Tet

1. Go to the pagoda to pray for peace and good luck

Going to the pagoda at the beginning of the year to pray for peace and good luck has become an indispensable activity during Tet. Especially for business people, going to the pagoda is not only to pray for peace and health but also for fame, career, wealth, and prosperity.

• Tran Temple Nam Dinh: Ask for a seal to pray for wealth

2. Choose the first customer and the first footer

First footing on the first day of Tet has become a familiar custom for Vietnamese people. It is believed that the first footer plays a very important role in the luck and fortune of the homeowner for that year. Therefore, many people choose in advance a person suitable for the homeowner's age and destiny to be the first footer, with the wish for a smooth and favorable start to the entire year.

Choosing the first customer at the beginning of the year is even more important for business people. To ensure a year of good luck, wealth, and prosperity, the first customer plays a very important role. They need to be compatible not only in age and destiny but also in personality and make quick, smooth transactions.

Cases that business people should avoid are: People in mourning, those with poor health, or those whose fortune was not good last year...

3. Buy salt at the beginning of the year

Buying salt at the beginning of the year means warding off evil spirits, helping the homeowner's family life become prosperous and happy. Salt bought at the beginning of the year is called "lucky salt". After buying it home, divide it into small groups and put them in cloth bags, which look beautiful and are convenient for storage.

For sellers, put a bag of salt in the store to pray for wealth and good luck, and to ward off bad luck for the year.

4. Wear new, brightly colored clothes

Wearing brightly colored new clothes at the beginning of the year is not a mandatory ritual but is of interest to many people. According to belief, wearing bright new clothes at the beginning of the year symbolizes a year with good new beginnings, bringing a fresh spirit to oneself and those around.

4. First outing of the year

The first outing of the year also needs to be considered because this time is seen as the day when heaven and earth harmonize. You need to check the auspicious time and direction for your first outing to have a smooth and favorable start. Business people can use a feng shui compass or check their age and destiny to find the best direction and feng shui hour for their first outing.

Days that business people should avoid going out are: The 3rd and 7th days of the lunar month, as folk wisdom considers these two days to be "Tam Nuong Sat" (Three Lady Killers), which are very bad and unsuitable for the first outing.

5. Maintain a positive and optimistic attitude

Finally, maintain an optimistic and generous spirit at the beginning of the year. Many people believe that it is necessary to keep a cheerful spirit in the first days of the year so that the whole year will be smooth and joyful. Maintaining optimism helps ward off bad luck and sadness, looking forward to a better new year.

For business people, maintaining a cheerful and optimistic attitude and spirit at the beginning of the year is also extremely important for good luck and wealth to knock on your door, no matter how your old year was.
