Hmong New Year in Vietnam: What Makes It So Special?
Hmong New Year, or "Noj Peb Caug Xyoo Tshiab" in the Hmong language, is a major cultural event celebrated annually by the Hmong Miao community after their harvest season. Originating over a thousand years ago during the Song dynasty (China) (960–1279 A.D.), it remains deeply significant today. In Northern Vietnam, Hmong New Year is celebrated about a month before the Lunar New Year observed by the Kinh people. This “early Tet” is a time for rest, gratitude to ancestors, and celebrating the harvest. Farming tools are ceremonially honored, with offerings like chicken, corn cakes, and beverages, symbolizing the transition from work to festivities.
