Ancestor worship belief has an important place in the family and society of Vietnam. Ancestor worship is a way of expressing gratitude and tribute to the relatives deceased (die). According to the concept of Vietnamese people, the ancestor often engages in the present life, they guide, direct, protect, bless people life, etc. The people perceive this belief both as a traditional custom and as a human morality as well as a form of the spiritual activity.
