Tết Đoan Ngọ is the Vietnamese version of Chinese Duanwu festival (literally: Tết: festival, Đoan: the start/straight/middle/righteousness/just, Ngọ: the seventh animal of the Chinese zodiac- the Horse). In Vietnam, this day is also the death anniversary of National Mother Âu Cơ. Compare to Cantonese Chinese term "dyun eng" (which is duan wu in Mandarin Chinese) ngo/eng/wu all refer to the ancient Chinese calendar term: the seventh of the twelve 'earthly branches', which was a component for determining time based on a series of 60 years (just as today we refer to 100 year periods as centuries).) Ngo/eng/wu refers to the sun at noon. : Tết Đoan Dương (Dương: yang) - yang being sun : Tết Trùng Ngũ (Trùng: double, Ngũ: the fifth), : Tết Đoan Ngũ, Tết Trùng Nhĩ or Tết Nửa Năm (Nửa Năm: a half of a year) is a festival celebrated at noon on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. This day is the day around the time when the tail of the Great Bear points directly to the south, that is, around the time of the summer solstice. At this time, the universe brings the greatest amount of yang or maleness in the entire year. Therefore, creatures and people must become stronger in both their health and their souls to overcome this. ==Traditions== Rượu nếp, a sticky rice wine, is traditionally eaten on this holiday. ''Bánh tro,'' a kind of bánh lá, is used during this holiday. ''Bánh tro'' is considered as "cool", symbolized yin because it includes vegetable ash water as an ingredient. ''Bánh tro'' is a perfect match with extreme hot day like May 5 in the lunar year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tết Đoan Ngọ」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
