Quick answer

Are Vietnamese customs and traditions fading in modern life?

Vietnamese customs and traditions have changed but have not entirely faded. In urban areas, many families simplify rituals because of a lack of time and space, turning to buying pre-wrapped bánh chưng or ordering pre-cooked trays. However, most families still maintain ancestor worship, the worship of ông Công ông Táo and the main rituals during Tết. Vietnamese communities abroad also make a point of preserving customs and passing them on to their children, showing that customs and traditions have enduring vitality even if their forms may change.
