My country has a lot of custom such as: wearing “Ao dai”, reuniting family in Mid-autumn festival, making “Banh Chung” on Tet holiday,etc . However, the custom I would like people from other countries to adopt is cleaning and decorating the ancestral graves. There are two reasons why I want to choose it.
First of all, grave-visiting festival is on the fifth of January in lunar calendar It’s the time for people to visit their ancestor’s graves. While old members burn incense and clean the graves, children talk together and play some games. This action helps them to pay their ancestor the honour and show their respect to someone who passed away .
Secondly, in this special occasion, members in family can reunite and take care of each other. Family members make “banh troi”, “banh chay” to worship the ancestors. After that they eat together. Therefore, this custom makes family’s atmosphere warmer and warmer.
In short, I would like people from other countries to adopt this special custom because it’s really meaningful. It helps young generation to dedicate to their ancestors and keeps family spirit warm. Therefore, other country should adopt this custom.
