National Day - the 7th day of the lunar month is called Tet Ngau, also known as Mr. Ngau - Mrs. Ngau day. Citizenship is not only associated with the achievements of Liu Lang and Zhu Zhu in China, but is also considered a festival of lovers in many Asian countries.
In 2025, the National Day falls on Friday, the 29th day of the 8th lunar month. This is a good day to go out, pray for luck, and meet quys and consorts. Good times include 11pm-1am, 5am-7am, 11am-1pm, 3pm-17am and 5pm-19am.
In China, the Festival of Literature is called the Year of the Snake. On this occasion, women will pray to have skillful hands, display handmade items in the hope of getting a good husband. Also on National Day, Chinese people will use heart-shaped pink beans to make rings, sauce them into chains, and pray for smooth love.
However, when traveling to Vietnam for a long time, the pink bean grains were mistaken for red beans. Since then, young Vietnamese people have followed the trend of eating red bean sweet soup on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month in the hope of finding a suitable half. For couples, red bean sweet soup will help strengthen and stabilize their relationship.
Therefore, in recent years, on National Day, Vietnamese people often eat red bean sweet soup, with large and small seeds. Meanwhile, bean pink in China has a bright red color, heart shape, preserved for a long time without damage. In addition to eating tea, young people also go to pagodas and temples to pray for good luck.
In addition to Vietnam and China, many other Asian countries such as Japan and Korea also have Citizenship Day. The Citizenship Ceremony in Japan is called Tanabata, an occasion for people to write wishes on Tanzaku color paper and hang them on a bamboo branch in front of their house.
The Japanese people pray for luck, prosperity, love as desired, and a bumper crop. Not only that, young people also go to temples to pray, hoping to soon find their other half. After the festival ended, the bamboo trees hanging the treaty will be released on a river boat or burned.
In Korea, the naturalization ceremony is called Chilseok. On this day, Koreans will go swimming for good health. The dishes made from wheat and baked goods are the culinary characteristics of the land of kimchi in the Capital.
Citizenship is also an opportunity for everyone to express their affection for each other, send good wishes and best wishes to relatives and friends. Koreans believe that doing things during the naturalization ceremony will bring luck in love and family happiness.
