Signification
A very happy atmosphere.
Contexte culturel
Traditional festivals (Lễ hội) are often tied to the lunar calendar and agricultural cycles. They are essential for community bonding. The North has a higher density of traditional village festivals, often involving 'Hát Quan Họ' (folk singing) which adds to the 'vui' (joyful) atmosphere. In the South, 'vui như hội' is often associated with the bustling 'Chợ nổi' (floating markets) during festive seasons. Overseas Vietnamese communities recreate the 'hội' atmosphere during Tet in places like Little Saigon, keeping the idiom alive.
