For Vietnamese people, the first days of the new Lunar year are sacred as it is the time for everyone to make wishes. Before or during Tet festival, people visit calligraphers to ask for calligraphic works, which are usually Vietnamese or Chinese scripts written on beautiful dó (poohnah) paper. Such scrips displayed at home during Tet festival become symbols of good fortune for the new year. VNA Photo
