Inspiring creativity and nurturing a love for traditional culture through VAUIS-ers’ spring-inspired red envelope designs.
Lunar New Year, or Tet, is celebrated not only through the vibrant colors of spring and family reunion meals but also through cherished customs such as giving red envelopes at the beginning of the year. At Viet Au Primary School, the Tet Red Envelope Design Competition offers students an opportunity to discover the beauty of Vietnamese cultural traditions in an engaging, meaningful, and creative way.
VAUIS-ers Unleash Their Creativity Through Tet Red Envelope Designs
From playful hand-drawn illustrations and vibrant spring flowers to carefully written New Year wishes, every red envelope reflects the unique personality of its creator.
Through this design activity, students have the opportunity to develop their imagination, refine their artistic skills, and enhance their aesthetic sense. Every choice of color, image, and decoration allows them to express their individuality and transform simple ideas into creations filled with the spirit of Vietnamese Tet.
Discovering the Meaning of Red Envelope Traditions During Tet
More than just an art activity, the competition also helps VAUIS-ers understand the cultural significance of giving red envelopes during Vietnamese Lunar New Year celebrations. The bright red envelopes symbolize wishes for good luck, peace, and happiness in the year ahead.
Through this experience, students gradually learn that the true value of a red envelope lies not in the amount of money inside, but in the affection, care, and sincere wishes shared with family and friends.
Learning Traditional Culture Through Hands-On Experiences
At Viet Au Primary School, traditional cultural values are brought closer to students through meaningful, hands-on activities. From learning about Tet customs to designing their own red envelopes, VAUIS-ers can connect knowledge with real-life experiences while developing creativity and a deeper appreciation for their cultural heritage.
Although small in size, each red envelope carries meaningful wishes, helping nurture students’ love for Vietnamese culture and their spirit of sharing during the spring season.
Through the Red Envelope Design Competition, Viet Au Primary School hopes to give students a Tet celebration that is both joyful and educational, allowing the beauty of traditional customs to be preserved and passed on from one generation to the next.
