T?t Trung Thu – Mid-Autumn Festival in Vietnam
越南的中秋節

The Vietnamese version of Mid-Autumn Festival has taken on a life of its own, including its very own unique and bizarre legend. It recounts the story of a woman who accidentally urinated on a sacred banyan tree and for her sins was transported to the moon to be stranded there for eternity. During festivities in Vietnam, lion dances are the main attraction with small dance troupes performing on street corners or going from house to house collecting ‘good luck’ money in exchange for a private show.
越南版本的中秋節別具一格，尤其是那獨特而離奇的傳說。傳說一個女人無意中尿到了一棵神圣的榕樹上，因為這個罪過她被遣送到月亮上，永生永世被困在那里。越南過節期間，小舞蹈團的舞獅表演是最吸引人的，他們會在街角表演，或者一家一家收取紅包進行私人表演。
