Observing one's reflection.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Mirrors are believed to reflect energy. Placing a mirror directly facing the front door or the bed is considered bad luck because it 'soi' (disturbs) the flow of 'Qi' or the sleeper's spirit. The concept of 'Gương sáng' (Bright Mirror) is used to describe role models. Students are encouraged to 'soi' themselves against these role models to improve. The 'Tự soi, tự sửa' campaign is a major part of modern Vietnamese political life, emphasizing that leaders must constantly look at their own faults as if in a mirror. In some rural areas, people cover mirrors when there is a funeral in the house to prevent the soul of the deceased from getting trapped in the reflection.
