Signification
Describing a very well-lit place.
Contexte culturel
In Vietnamese urban culture, 'bright' is associated with safety. People prefer well-lit 'quán ăn' (eateries) and streets. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, children carry lanterns. The collective light of thousands of lanterns is often described with this phrase. With the 'Điện đường trường trạm' (Electricity, roads, schools, clinics) policy, bringing 'light like day' to villages was a major government goal. A bright house is said to have good 'Feng Shui' (Phong Thủy), attracting wealth and health.
