뜻
Tidying up one's living space.
문화적 배경
Cleaning the house is seen as a way to show respect to ancestors. An altar is usually the first thing cleaned. You must finish all cleaning before New Year's Eve. Sweeping on New Year's Day is like sweeping money out of the house. Modern families often hire 'người giúp việc' (helpers) specifically for 'dọn dẹp nhà cửa' on an hourly basis via apps. Cleaning often involves the whole neighborhood or extended family, especially before a wedding.

Tet Taboo
Never tell a Vietnamese person you are 'dọn dẹp nhà cửa' on the first day of Tet; they will think you are throwing away your luck!
