Vietnamese Folk Religion
Vietnamese Folk Religion is a traditional belief system that blends elements of animism, ancestor worship, and local deities. It emphasizes the importance of nature, with spirits believed to inhabit trees, rivers, and mountains. Rituals and offerings are commonly performed to honor these spirits and seek their protection.
Ancestor worship is a central aspect of Vietnamese Folk Religion, where families honor their deceased relatives through altars and ceremonies. This practice reflects the belief that ancestors continue to influence the living. Additionally, local deities, such as Thần Tài (the God of Wealth), play a significant role in daily life and community celebrations.
