VTV.vn - The custom of worshiping ancestors has become a longstanding tradition for the Vietnamese people, especially during the Lunar New Year.

The arrangements of a family's altar not only show their wealth, but also the respect of children for their grandparents and ancestors. This tradition was reflected in the exhibition called “The Ancestor Altar during Tet”, which was held at Kim Ngan Communal house in Hanoi.

The exhition has attracted the attention of domestic visitors as well as foreign tourists. It's considered to be the beginning of a project that will introduce ancestor worship to Vietnamese culture. In the future, the main part of the project will continue to be implemented in a more thorough way.
