The jubilant strokes of the dragon dances, unicorn dancing on the message background, the paper, as resounding a verse: "any house with lights still on fire, open my door, step on the high hill with a dragon hatching, walking down on the low mound, there is a dragon flanking, walking behind there is a tiled roof… ”of a folk game during Tet. Folk paintings can be played and hung all year round, but perhaps they are still the most popular during Tet, when people have the widest amount of time to relax, to contemplate and to enjoy.

Painting "Ly Ngu Vong Nguyet" is a typical example of the philosophy of yin and yang. It is shown right in the bend of the fish to form the dipole of the letter S. The moonfish here is not the moon in the sky, but the moonlight printed in water. The opposite of these two meaningful circles has created the two nuclei of the dipole formation, which is positive and negative. Cool blue eyes, the flexible fish swimming are probably just an excuse to convey emotions about nature, but the meaning of the harmony of yin and yang is the secret that the ancients wanted to convey. It also brings blessings for a new spring in harmony.
