Does anyone know the significance of the masks worn during Tet Spring Festival in Vietnam?

During the Tet Spring Festival in Vietnam people wear round masks, made from wicker, I think, with colourful faces painted on them. I'm trying to find out whether there's any story behind these masks - or whether they signify anything.Does anyone know the significance of the masks worn during Tet Spring Festival in Vietnam?
the two masks usually worn are of buddha and a dragon symboling happiness and good fortune. Buddha of course was always a happy god and the dragon was a sign of wealthiness. Does anyone know the significance of the masks worn during Tet Spring Festival in Vietnam?
you mean the ones with the smiling face?


that are always by the dragon?


i don't think they mean anything. . .


or they symbolize happiness?
