The act of opening a door.
Contexto cultural
The 'Mở Cửa' policy of 1986 is a defining moment in modern history, shifting the nation from a closed economy to a global player. The direction and timing of opening the main door (mở cửa chính) are often calculated by a Feng Shui master to ensure prosperity. The act of 'mở cửa' on the first day of Tết is highly symbolic. The first person to enter is the 'xông đất' guest. Small shop owners often perform a small ritual when they 'mở cửa' in the morning, like burning incense to the God of Wealth.
