Traditionally, the five-fruit tray is considered an important part of the Vietnamese Lunar New Year celebration. It carries deep meanings of family reunion, abundance, and good wishes.
The selection of the five fruits for the tray depends on cultural beliefs and regional characteristics. Each type of fruit conveys its own meaning, expressed through shape, taste, color, or even its name.
The five-fruit tray
In the spiritual culture of the Vietnamese people, the five-fruit tray plays an essential role in expressing sincere respect for the Ancestors and the principle of remembering one’s roots. It consists of five different types of fruits with the meanings of Prosperity, Nobility, Longevity, Health, and Peace. These are valuable wishes that everyone hopes to achieve in the new year.
In addition, the five-fruit tray also symbolizes the hard work and achievements of farmers after a year of hard labor or represents abundance and fulfillment. Regardless of the business results of the past year, the five-fruit tray is still present on the altar. Moreover, the five-fruit tray also represents the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth – the five elements that give birth to all things in the universe, aiming for harmony, balance, and completeness in life.
