The demons ruled the land of Vietnam once. The people of the land had to harvest a lot just to pay the demons their food and harvest at the end of every year. The demons only let the people have the leftovers of the rice plants which was barely nothing of use and barely enough to live off. Buddha say how unfairly the people of Vietnam were treated and told them to start growing their own food like potatoes.

The demons saw this and took their potatoes; leaving the people with the roots, again.This cycle tarted again except with corn. The demons then banned them from growing their crops. Buddha came to the people and told them to try to negotiate with the demons. The people gathered money to buy whatever that these bamboo poles shadowed over; the sunny area would belong to the demons. The greedy demons thought this was reasonable and agreed to the deal.

Buddha created magic as the people planted the bamboo. He made the plant grow so high, close to the sun, that it covered all of Vietnam. This meant that the people owned Vietnam since it was shadowed by the bamboo. The demons were not alright with this and decided to meet up to get rid of Buddha and gain harvest from the people like before.

The Buddha helped the people by battling the demons. Buddha told the demons that his weaknesses were fruits, rice cakes, and bananas, but this was a clever lie. The demons attacked Buddha with these thing thinking it would weaken him, but in reality this was the way of Buddha getting food that the demons took away from the people all these years. Buddha instructed the people to get as much of those resources as possible when they fell.

Buddha found out that the demons were afraid of dog's blood, pandan leaves and other things. The people then chased the demons away with these elements into the sea. The demons accepted defeat, but begged Buddha to let them visit the island to visit their ancestors' graves. With the good heart that Buddha has, he mercifully agreed to let me them do so.

This is why, during Tet, people put up bamboos with some fabric, noise makers, and wrapped with some pandan leaves to reminds them to shoo the demons away and remind the demons that Vietnam belongs to the people, not them.
