A photo about the royal celebration of lunar New Year in the past |
The program introduces 80 documents about the royal celebration of lunar New Year in the past. The items were chosen from the Nguyen Dynasty’s Chau ban (royal administrative documents).
The exhibition includes three topics: Ceremony to prepare for the solemn Lunar New Year; Activities at lunar New Year’s Eve parties; and Activities at the beginning of a lunar New Year.
Exhibits on display contribute to introducing lunar New Year celebrations in Vietnamese feudal dynasties, which are very different from the contemporary festival.
The organizing panel hoped that these valuable documents are useful to researchers and people interested in the field.
