Calendar distribution ceremony enacted

The Thang Long – Hanoi Heritage Conservation Centre has recently reenacted the Ngu Lich ceremony, which originated from the Le Dynasty to distribute calendars to royal mandarins.

During the feudal era, Vietnamese people mostly lived on agriculture. Therefore, calendar was very important for them to calculate days for cultivation. According to historical documents, Ngu Lich ceremony was held on the 24th of the last lunar month during Le Dynasty. (Photo: VNA)
