Tóm tắt

Ancestor worship is a type of folk belief that has a profound influence on the minds of Vietnamese people. Learning about the ancestor worship beliefs of the Vietnamese community in the South contributes to a deeper understanding of the cultural and spiritual life as well as of the worldview and outlook on life of the local Vietnamese people. In this article, the author clarifies some issues about the philosophy of life in the ancestor worship beliefs of Vietnamese people in the South: expressing human ethics; a sense of remembrance of roots and a beautiful trait in community cultural activities. This is the age-old morality of the Vietnamese people who always honor their national roots, as in an old Vietnamese saying “drinking water, remember its source”.
