Traditional festivals of the two countries have similarities in terms of time of organization and content of activities, but also many differences in the level of importance and form of organization of those festivals.
Ancestor worship in Vietnam and China both developed under two major contexts, one is the Confucian culture of "filial piety" and the other is agricultural civilization. The main differences are in the form of worship and the time of festival organization.
Festivals to worship gods are held in almost all important traditional festivals of the two countries. There are some gods of the two countries that have the same origin and similar “functions”, but the legends and forms of rituals are different.
The image of the Holy Mother in the legends of the two countries is quite similar. This feature helps us to know the similar social phenomena of a certain period in the historical development of the two countries.
