Activities on the Hung King's death anniversary during the Hung Temple Festival
Hung Temple Festival is a cultural custom that has existed for many years, held annually in Phu Tho province. The festival is held from March 1 to March 10 of the Lunar Calendar, April 9 to April 18 of the Solar Calendar. During the Hung Temple Festival there will be two main activities: the Ceremony and the Festival.
Ceremony part
King's palanquin procession: Those participating in the procession will wear traditional costumes, hold flags, flowers and parasols, and the palanquin will start from the foot of the mountain, then go through temples to reach the ceremony site. Offering incense is at Thuong Temple.
Incense offering ceremony: Many people gather in Phu Tho to offer incense due to the needs of spiritual life. Everyone will burn incense when coming to the ancestral land and express their wishes, hoping for blessings and the ancestors will help those thoughts come true. For Vietnamese people, every tree, every rock or handful of soil in To De land is extremely sacred, so you can easily see the image of a tree hole, under a rock filled with red incense sticks.
Among the activities on Hung King's Death Anniversary, the Ceremony always ensures a solemn, respectful and solemn atmosphere while still ensuring safety, thrift and civilization.

One of the activities on Hung King's death anniversary: holiday
According to the provisions of the Labor Code, employees will be given a day off on the occasion of Hung King's death anniversary. Specifically, on the 10th day of the 3rd lunar month, or the 18th day of the 4th lunar month, employees are given a day off but still receive their full salary. In case the day off falls on a weekend, the day off will be compensated for on the following weekday.
Normally, other holidays are fixed according to the Gregorian calendar, but for Hung King's Commemoration, our country uses the lunar calendar to determine the day off. In Vietnam, there are only two holidays that use the lunar calendar, which are Hung King's Death Anniversary and Lunar New Year.
The activities on the Hung Kings' Death Anniversary are truly extremely solemn and have great influence, making the hearts of every Vietnamese person remember the great contributions of the Hung Kings to build the country. And you, what are your plans for this important holiday?
