• The Legend of the Five-Fruit Tray Aug 10, 2025

  

  In ancient times, when the land of Vietnam was young and the customs of Tết were first being established, there lived a poor but devoted farmer named Phúc in a village along the Red River. Despite his humble circumstances, Phúc was known throughout the region for his exceptional filial piety and his deep respect for his ancestors.

  Phúc lived in a small bamboo house with his elderly mother, Bà Hiền, whose name meant “virtuous lady.” Though they owned only a tiny plot of land that barely produced enough rice to sustain them, their home was always filled with love, laughter, and the sweet fragrance of incense burning before their ancestral altar.
