At many famous ancestral and ancient pagodas of Hue such as Tu Dam, Thien Mu, Tu Hieu, Thuyen Ton, etc., people unhurriedly came to offer incense and worship Buddha from very early. They picked up a piece of paper, wrote down their wishes and then hung on a tree erected in front of the main hall. The elderly wished for peace and luck, young children wished for good academic results, and middle-aged people wished for favorable work. The majority of people have the common wish that the pandemic will quickly end, and everyone stays healthy.

"I wish good academic results and a lot of luck in life for myself, and happiness for everyone," said 12-year-old Nguyen Thuc Linh, before writing her wish on paper.

Also in this morning, many people flocked to the cemeteries to visit the deceased. It is a familiar ritual in the cultural and spiritual life of Hue people. "No matter what you do and where you go, visiting ancestors' graves beforehand is a must," said Mr. Nguyen Dat, Hue city, without forgetting to send New Year wishes to everyone.

Desire for peace and harmony

In the Asian worldview, the relationship between Heaven - People - Earth is connected through the animal and plant world, with countless sacred human concepts to ward off evil spirits and pray for peace for people and all things. Among them, the Four Sacred animals (Dragon, Unicorn, Turtle, Pheonix), starting from the Dragon, symbolize the strong desire of the Creation and the traditional beliefs to pray for agricultural residents' good harvests, good weather, and dispelling epidemics.

That memory, which exists on many roads and gardens of the people of Hue, has gained more motivation, become a consciousness, and spread sustainably since the government authorities showed their interest and took care of it.
