THE BUILDING OF SAND MOUNTAIN CEREMONY: SYMBOL OF RELIGIOUS CULTURE AT THE KHMER NEW YEAR IN SOUTHERN VIETNAM
Cultural symbols are research objects that many scholars are interested in when studying cultures. The article is based on the structural theory of symbolic anthropology (or interpretive anthropology) to study and decipher the meaning of sand mountains in Khmer culture. The building of sand mountains duringceremonies on New Year’s Day is an important cultural and spiritual activity that illustrates religious harmony with cultural life during traditional festivals. In the article, the symbolic meaning of the sand mountain is deciphered to explore the cultural values and religious philosophies hidden in the heart of Khmer culture in Southern Viet Nam.
