The national traditional dress in Vietnam is the ao dai, a silk tunic with pants worn by women and men. Ao dài are worn for special occasions including Tet, the new year celebration. Since the twentieth century, Vietnamese people have also worn contemporary clothing that is popular in many places in the world. The ao dai features a long silk tunic with slits on the sides that is worn over pants and often includes a matching fabric headpiece. In the south, women also wear ao ba ba, a more simple blouse with a scoop neck and buttons in the center, often worn with a conical hat.

Hoi An Lantern Festival
The Hoi An Lantern Festival. It is a lantern festival in Vietnam that takes place every month, transforming the quaint World Heritage Site into an awe-inspiring display of paper lanterns of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Every restaurant, bar, shop, and business in the Ancient Town stops using electricity and lights up their venues with hundreds of lanterns as well as candles.
The lantern is meant to dispel the evil spirits and to bring peace and happiness.
This too is considered to be a famous festival in Vietnam and also known as the light festival in Vietnam.

One of the Vietnamese Culture is Elders are respected a lot
After name and nationality, age is one of the first questions you’ll be asked in Vietnam. Their society is built on Confucian beliefs, where experience and wisdom are highly respected. This means the older you are, the more respect you command. You shouldn’t swear or bring up inappropriate topics when you’re with older people, such as death or sex. At dinners, the eldest people are served first – and at home or work, their opinions carry more weight.

This is my Entry for Vietnamese Culture
Artist Creator : Jami2017
I choose Vietnamese Dance Culture As i represents my Art Called “HAT DANCE”
The hat dance, like the fan dance, is another incredible cultural dance in Vietnam that breathes synchronicity. Hat dancers twirl around gracefully while they exchange and manoeuvere their large bamboo hats, a homage to the farmers who work hard in the fields and provide grain. The dance usually ends with the dancers inviting volunteers to participate with them on the stage, so that the show ends on a memorable note.
I hope this information can help to other people who wants to learn more about vietnamese cultural ethics they deliver.
Thanks for this wonderful bounty to bring people interest for other cultural ethnicity.

Here is my entry,
One of the many reasons why you would love to live in Vietnam is because of Vietnamese collectivist culture, they are loving, thoughtful, accomodating, and when there’s a gathering or they invite good friends to have dinner, they want to sit together and eat together on the floor. And that is why you can’t wear shoes inside the house because people do many activities on the floor.

Hello everyone here’s my Entry for this challenge 
done via ibispaintx, manually rendered, 25hrs duration.
Explanation: I’m a person who really love’s literature specifically myths and tales, and I’m very fascinated with the Wonderful stories that it shows while having my research about the Culture of Vietnam I stumble upon this myth and it really caught my eye that’s why I decided to make this art.
Turtles, dragons, unicorns and phoenixes are revered in Vietnamese mythology for the representation of the four main elements: earth, air, fire and water.
As a testament to their importance in modern Vietnam, you will often come across the animals at places of worship and festive celebrations, from temples and dwellings to mid-autumn and tet.
The dragon, like in many countries across South East and East Asia, symbolises peace, prosperity and good luck. What differentiates the Vietnamese dragon is its anatomy: an eclectic combination of fish, lizard, deer and fish all wrapped up in one body.
Another composite creature is the unicorn, which is part horse, dragon and buffalo. Like the dragon, the unicorn is said to bring about good luck, as well as the power to ward off evil spirits from houses and pagodas. For this reason, you often see the unicorn at doorways or near the entrances of dwellings and religious sites.
The phoenix, which is made up of snake, eagle, fish and peacock, represents nobility and grace. As a symbol of royalty, the phoenix (yin) and dragon (yang) are common sights at Vietnamese weddings, for they are believed to bring happiness to a marriage.
As the only living animal of the four mythical creatures, the turtle is celebrated as a symbol of longevity, wisdom and spiritual endurance. At the temple of literature in Hanoi, 82 turtle sculptures carry the names of doctoral graduates from the Le Dynasty era, which was seen as the highest sign of respect towards the most educated in society.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is named “Têt Trung Thu” in Vietnamese. It’s a traditional festival for Vietnamese children.
In Vietnam, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival mainly for the Children. During the festival parents buy their children various types of lanterns, snacks and funny masks.
Rice is harvested before the 15th day of the 8th lunar month (mid-autumn) in Vietnam. Each household then offers sacrifices to the God of Earth. While occupied with harvesting parents do not have much time to take care of their children; therefore, they make full use of the festival holiday to play with their children.
How do they celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival?
-Worshiping the God of Earth
-Carrying carp-shape Lantern
-Watching the Lion Dance parade

Each country has its way of celebrating, belief and traditon. It was passed down by our ancestors, generations to generation. As for Vietamese people visiting Pagoda during lunar new year became their tradition. Going to temple and praying for goodluck throughout the year. It has been a way for all members of families to gather and pray for more prosperity in life . It was said to be that wishes made during this time will most likely to come true.
But also , its not just about wishes people often go to pagodas to pray and reflect from their sins and shortcomings they have been through in the past.Offering incense is a practice in spritual tradition in Vietnam and around the world. My entry is a girl taking a solemn time to pray and ask for health and guidance . A way of showing respect to one of Vietnamese’s tradition of celebrating new year and welcoming another chapter of everybodys life.
