In Ho Chi Minh City, the rituals associated with each stage of a person's life are closely linked; the Confucian ethical values still have significance in the current Cantonese Chinese society. Factors such as gender, age, economic conditions, social networks, religious beliefs and cultural acculturation influence the form and content of the rituals of transition. The rituals of transition still play a role in strengthening family and community cohesion, forming ethical standards in the community. These rituals are now being performed in a modern and simplified manner, the sacredness of the rituals is reduced, and people are increasingly concerned with the secular meaning of the rituals.
