Le Têt Nguyên Đán est la fête la plus importante de l'année au Vietnam. Il coïncide avec le jour de la première nouvelle lune, au milieu de la période séparant le solstice d'hiver de l'équinoxe du printemps. Cette année, c'est l'année du cheval. Elle commence le 31 janvier.
La fête du Têt est avant tout une fête familiale au Vietnam. C’est l’occasion unique dans l’année où tous les membres de la famille, quoi qu’ils fassent, où qu’ils soient, vont se réunir dans leurs villes natales pour rendre hommage aux ancêtres, visiter leurs proches et se souhaiter une année pleine de la chance et du bonheur.
Pendant ces jours, les vietnamiens décorent leurs maisons avec des bonsaïs, des mandariniers et des fleurs telles que : fleurs d’abricotier dans le Sud, fleurs de pêcher dans le Nord, fleurs de bauhinie blanche, fleurs de chrysanthème, poinsettia et œillet d'Inde.
Les Vietnamiens en profitent pour prendre leurs vacances à ce moment là : trois jours fériés, mais beaucoup prennent une bonne semaine. À Saigon, à Hanoi, à Hué, partout, les bureaux de l'administration ferment leurs portes, les hôtels affichent complet, les transports publics sont noirs de monde.
La fête du Têt est le grand moment de l'année vietnamienne, le seul, selon la tradition, où les âmes des morts reviennent sur Terre. Pas question de rater pareil rendez-vous avec les esprits des ancêtres. Les vivants doivent impérativement être présents pour les recevoir dignement, debout devant l'autel des ancêtres.
