Cultural researcher and feng shui expert Phạm Đình Hải holds that bao sái (altar cleansing) and trimming the incense sticks should be done after the ông Công ông Táo offering (the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month) is complete, because folk belief holds that the altar and the incense bowl are where ông Công, ông Táo and the other deities reside. For the end of the Ất Tỵ year in particular, Lập Xuân (the start of spring) falls on 4 February 2026 (the 17th of the twelfth lunar month), so feng shui experts quoted by VietnamPlus advise completing the bao sái before Lập Xuân and after the full moon of the twelfth lunar month.
