About Tết Trung Thu
Tết Trung Thu (chữ Hán: 節中秋) is a traditional Vietnamese festival held from the night of the 14th to the end of the 15th of the 8th lunar month (Rằm tháng Tám, chữ Nôm: 𠄻躺渗). Despite its Chinese origin, the festival has recently evolved into a children's festival (Tết Thiếu Nhi), also known as Tết Trông Trăng, Tết Đoàn Viên or Tết Hoa Đăng. Children look forward to this day because they are often given toys by adults, typically including a star lamp, a mask, a kéo quân lamp, and a tò he (edible toy figurines), and eat bánh trung thu (mooncakes – bánh nướng and bánh dẻo). People organize a feas.
