In this motion, “romanticization” refers to the tendency to present or remember the Tết holiday in an overly positive and idealized way. This often involves focusing mainly on its emotional, cultural, and symbolic value, while ignoring or downplaying the practical problems and negative experiences that may also be associated with Tết

Key features of village culture include a strong sense of community (a lot of collective activities with the people around), deep moral obligations with families, deep connections with the neighborhoods respect for elders, and the preservation of traditional beliefs.
With increasing urbanization and Westernization, many aspects of village culture have gradually declined. Community bonds have weakened, collective activities are less common, individual-centered lifestyles are highly embraced,  and progressive beliefs from Western countries are replacing traditional beliefs.

Green Tết (Tết xanh) refers to environmentally sustainable practices during the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, such as reducing plastic waste, limiting excessive consumption, and discouraging the burning of joss paper (burning offerings for the ancestors)

Tết, or the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, is the most significant traditional holiday in Vietnam. It marks the beginning of the lunar calendar year and usually takes place between late January and mid-February. Tet is an exclusively rare and special occasion for families to connect with their roots, their extended families and understand the cultural value of Vietnam.

Traditionally, Tết is a time for nuclear families to return to their hometowns and reunite with extended relatives. Common traditional practices include preparing ceremonial meals, performing rituals to pay respect to their ancestors, going to pagodas to pray, and visiting relatives from the far countryside.

In recent years, there has been a growing trend of Vietnamese nuclear families choosing to travel domestically or internationally during Tết. When nuclear families travel during Tet, they often don't return to their extended relatives and don't do common traditional practices in order to save time and money for the trip

Tet holiday is the most important traditional holiday in Vietnam. The national holiday usually lasts around 7 to 9 days, including weekends. During this time, most shops and companies temporarily close because many workers often want to go home to celebrate the holiday with their families. At the same time, Tet also involves high levels of consumer spending. People buy food to prepare for Tet, fruits and trees to decorate their houses, or even expensive furnitures from shops and companies
