The festival derives from the belief of Do Son’s locals that buffalo fighting is in favor of their guardian gods and hence a continuity of this activity brings them safe voyages, abundant crops as well as healthy and wealthy people-signs of prosperity and happiness.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31st. The most common colors of the day are orange and black. Halloween comes from the ancient Celtic festival Samhain.

The ancient Celts believed that on October 31st, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the living and the deceased is not clear, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops.

On Halloween, the ancient Celts would place a skeleton by their window to represent the dead. Believing that the head was the most powerful part of the body, containing the spirit and knowledge, the Celts used the "head" of the vegetable to decorate their houses.

On this day people often wear strange clothes as characters in horrible novels or movies to frighten others.

People usually like to dress as ghosts, skeletons, or witches. Now Halloween is an official holiday in almost all European countries.

The Celts cổ xưa tin rằng vào ngày 31 Tháng 10, nay là Halloween, ranh giới giữa sự sống và cái chết là không rõ ràng, và kẻ chết trở nên nguy hiểm cho cuộc sống bằng cách gây ra các vấn đề như bệnh tật hoặc cây bị hư hỏng. Ngày Halloween, người Celt cổ đại sẽ đặt một bộ xương của cửa sổ của họ đại diện cho những người chết. Tin tưởng rằng người đứng đầu là phần mạnh nhất của cơ thể, có chứa tinh thần và kiến ​​thức, người Celt sử dụng các "đầu" của thực vật để trang trí ngôi nhà của họ. Vào ngày này người ta thường mặc quần áo kỳ lạ như những nhân vật trong tiểu thuyết khủng khiếp hoặc phim để dọa người khác. Mọi người thường thích ăn mặc như con ma, bộ xương, hoặc phù thủy.

Besides the Tet Holiday, Mid-Autumn festival is one of the most famous festivals and it is a traditional celebration for Vietnamese children.

In this new year, we organized presentation deck, looks moon. Everywhere is fallen in the active and colorful air. Children are provided with many nice lanterns – star lanterns, flower lanterns and diverse funny masks for special performance in the evening of the full moon. In some areas, people also held dragon dance, lion dance to the children happy. The main point of the Mid-Autumn is that children use the beautiful lanterns, wear funny masks, perform fantastic lion dances and sing folklore songs in the house’s grounds or on the streets when the moon is rising.

In Vietnam, Moon cakes are the specific cakes and are only on this festival. Moon cakes, which are made from flavor, dried fruit, meat, egg, pumpkin’s seed, peanut, are so sweet and good tasting. Moon cakes symbolize Luck, Happiness, Health and Wealth on the Mid-Autumn day.

Mid-Autumn celebration is also an opportunity for members of the family to get together and share everything in their year. The young generation express their gratitude to the old generation. The parents show their love for their children. For others, because the traditional time to have this festival is usually after harvesting the crops, it is as the congratulation for the full harvest.

Apart from moon cakes and lanterns, the other most visible tradition related to Mid-Autumn festival is the lion dance. On the nights leading up to the holiday, groups of children parade through the streets – some of the children maintain a martial beat on drums, while others control an extravagantly decorated ‘lion’ crafted from molds and paper.

The children approach homes and businesses and ask the owners for their permission to perform. If they agree, the children put on a show that is believed to bring a blessing of luck and fortune. Afterwards the host gives the children lucky money as a sign of gratitude.
