The Tet Market

TTH.VN - In an era marked by shopping malls, mini supermarkets, and the pervasive influence of digital utilities, the process of preparing for Tet has become incredibly convenient for families. However, the Tet market remains an irresistibly charming space for those who cherish nostalgia - individuals who fondly recall the old Tets, deeply connected to their mothers, grandmothers, and the years of hardship.

Unlike modern shopping centers and supermarkets, Tet market is a bustling, chaotic environment with products of varying quality. Yet, it offers a unique Tet atmosphere that cannot be replicated elsewhere to “hundreds of sellers, and thousands of buyers”. It is a place where one can witness the anxiety and tension on the faces of elderly vendors at less popular stalls, the bustling activity of children and husbands helping their wives and mothers with the business, the lively haggling that is sometimes just for the sake of it, and a showcase of local products and how well-off the local people are…

In the last days of the Lunar Year of the Dragon, Hue Today Year-end publication would like to introduce a collection of photos about Tet market, captured by Huu Phuc and Dinh Hoang, the photographers, with the hope of adding a little more festivity to the upcoming Lunar New Year of the Snake, in lieu of wishes for a peaceful and prosperous traditional Tet holiday to every family.
