It's marvelously amazing, isn't it? Thousands of years ago women as military leaders personally leading an army into battle against their invading enemies, were absolutely unheard-of. Surprisingly, Vietnam's thousand-year history has had 2 female military leaders (the Trung siters in 40 AD and Lady Trieu in 248 AD) fiercely and fearlessly in person fighting against the invading Han Chinese Empire for their country's independence and freedom. This clearly explained why Vietnam's rich history has intrigued so many people around the world.
Trung Vương high school in Saigon before 75 ( only for femal student) named after the Trung sisters , this school was famous and most of its school girls were knowledgeable and intelligent.Every year we celebrate the Trung sisters, the school girls reenact the famous battle against Han Dynasty of Trung Sisters , our love and respect the Trung sisters is everlasting
This story gave me goosebumps. I knew this story but these beautiful details presented in this videos are just wonderful. Thank you and sending much love.🤩🤩🤩
To me Trung sisters' revolt and ascending to the throne were stemmed from the harms Thi Sach, the husband of the big sister, had to endure. There is another female heroine that was also documented in Vietnam history which captured my attention and admiration êvn more: Bà Triệu Thị Trinh, AKA Triệu Ẩu, Nhụy Kiều Tướng Quân, Lệ Hải Bà Vương (226-248). She joined her brother at the tender age of 23 with determination to stop the Chinese invasion of Vietnam and to cease the injustice view and expectation of society upon women at the time, which is grow up to be a subevient wife/concubine to her husband.
Wow, wow, greatly appreciated the historical & intellectual nourishment! It’s exquisitely presented. Bravo to the presenter for her delivery- very elevating to listen. Hai Bà Trưng 🙇 🙏 Hồn Việt là đây💕
There was something missing here. The Trung sisters also liberated Guangdong, Guangxi ,formerly Nanyue dynasty. And the battlefield was all over those regions up to Tong Tinh lake ,south of Yangtze River.
which may explain the shared regional linguistic/ phonetic similarities of the southern sinitic languages with the Vietnamese language, and the people's genetics as well. TBH, The purpose of this Wondrium clip isn't REALLY about Vietnam's history, but to promote this female presenter's woke ideology. Sadly such is the norm in today's western academia, hijacked by the far left progressives. 🤦♂️😵💫
It is worth mentioning that much of Vietnam's historical records were lost, and the remaining accounts being told here were recorded by the Chinese, who didn't view the Trung Sisters kindly. Ultimately, it's the legend that matters, not the history.
That’s why they have 2 celebration days dedicated to women every year, the international one (8-Mar) and the national one (20-Oct) Men who forget to buy them flowers or gifts would be in danger 😅
Even after being enslaved for a 1000 years by the evil Chinese, we the heroic and brave Vietnamese people never gave up, fought relentlessly against the Chinese then and now and we proudly still have our country, people and language. I’m very proud of my heroic Vietnamese people and honored to be Vietnamese and related to the royal Kings Trung Trác Trung Nhi sister!!!! VIETNAM 4ever!!!! Vietnam muôn năm!!!!
A shock for all of you, in ancient times the world a lot of female leaders and generals. The instructor wasn’t bad and she was generally accurate, mildly difficulty is her statement that the Han were emulating the Romans and to indicate the laws preventing sexual immorality were the problem. They were not the problem was those already a matriarchal culture in Vietnam that worked well. And centralized government along with poorly planned social reforms made it stop working! There isn’t always a victim and an oppressor greed and incompetence are far more likely government.
We Vietnamese have been telling this story for 2000 years. And we Vietnamese male are not afraid of strong female / mother of the our country. Vietnamese people are not afraid of war to defend our country.
Surely it is more than taxation, though! A matriarchal household, or a gerontocratic one where the tax is calculated based on the size of the household, is just as convenient to tax. I think half the motivation was that men were more likely to submit to a new authority if they themselves were made "little kings" who were authorized to Lord it over their wives and children, and to some degree their younger siblings or elderly parents, depending on the society. They were made to feel invested in the new system by being given a stake in it, and it's probably no coincidence that the people placed under their new authority were the people they most likely had the personal means to physically abuse if necessary-- elderly parents, women, children. That's harder for a man to do in a large, extended family household where a larger group can gang up together, or in a society that frowns upon him beating his children or a society that says women have the right to fight back, or leave him. A man may feel humiliated that his country has been conquered and that he has personally been eaten and robbed of his tribal sovereignty, But let the conquerors set him up as a little tyrant in his own home, with tyrannical authority endorsed, enforced, glorified by the new state, and there's a chance he will forget his smallness by being a tempest in a teapot, and will eventually fall in line.
I question how matriarchal Vietnam actually was before the Chinese since she seems to be focusing in on a very specific tribe that we know little about. But if they were matriarchal or had a more or less egalitarian society they certainly failed considering they were stuck in the bronze ages 2000 years after the rest of civilization had moved on to iron and that they couldn't mount any decent opposition to the chinese incursions as later vietnamese rulers would to to both the chinese and the mongols.
@@vypa-bk1iy First, I think you are entirely misunderstanding my point. Second... did you try to look this up on the Vietnam Wikipedia article, found nothing, and thus grabbed onto that idea? As a start, Look up why the Tran dynasty started marrying exclusively from the pool of their own female relatives.....the Tran rulers were concerned that marrying into other, matriarchal clans would be a threat to the patrilineal inheritance they had established for themselves. (They were influenced by the Chinese and also promoting Confucianism) We aren't talking about one small obscure matriarchal group that no one knows anything about. That's....not a thing. We're talking about, wholecloth, a quite different culture in Vietnam overall, prior to the increasing influence of the Chinese and Confucianism. The change took place over a very long period.
@@vypa-bk1iy Iron instruments were first being made 600 years before this, but not to the level of the invading Huaxia/Han armies, who certainly had much more advanced iron/steel technology.
I definitely think you're onto something! It's like they literally can't help themselves, they just have to project our 2023 standards onto ancient peoples, and it doesn't work!
Is she British ethnicity in America? How many percentage of people will act like this? Just feel so uncomfortable to watch this ad. Yes, Trung sisters fought for Han dynasty and France and somehow battles during Vietnam War with America. But seems like you switched the title completely toward to Han people. There are lot of Han Ethnicity people living in San Francisco, New York, Hawaii and more. It is just so much hatred and disgust to see title coming with such horrible racism intension.😢Is this how you make the world peace? Purposely targeting specific group of people by flipping those histories centuries ago? If using your logic to contribute the Society for this modern days, should you also slip the history for Britain and France, Ireland, Germany, Russia, Japan, Korea and Africa? Are you dare enough to switch title and mean to people like this?! Joyce Salisbury. You could hype your ad for against autocracy, but make sure you don’t drop into the racism by simply switching “Han dynasty” to “Han”. May the Lord see your heart clear.
You totally missed the point. It's not about racism, it's all about equality - the role of men and women in human society. The traditional role of women in Chinese society was one of subservience and humility. Chinese folklore is peppered with such phrases as “girls are maggots in the rice.” Many Chinese people even said, “It is more profitable to raise geese than daughters.” Females were considered dispensable in Chinese tradition; it was the birth of a son that was cause for celebration, while the birth of a daughter was always filled with sorrow and sadness. China's traditional beliefs have always considered men to be the superior of the two genders. This has fed into the idea that men play a more important role in society. Chinese girls were more likely than boys to suffer infanticide in poor families. People can see this throughout the Chinese history. The typical example is China's One Child Policy, which indeed reinforced the Chinese tradition of female infanticide spanning 2,000 years in China and resulted in the merciless deaths of millions of female infants in the country. By contrast, women have culturally played a critical role from the beginning of Vietnam's thousand-year history. Trung sisters had been the pioneers in Vietnam's history fearlessly standing up against the Han Chinese invaders to defend their country. This has for thousands of years inspired many following Vietnamese generations to fight for their independence and freedom. In fact, the stories of women as fearless military leaders thousands of years ago were hardly ever known, and Trung siters personally leading an army into battle in 40 AD - about 2,000 years ago, fiercely against the invading Han Chinese Empire were probably the very first female military leaders in human history to be told.
@@louisalong7019 "This has for thousands of years inspired many following Vietnamese generations to fight for their independence and freedom."

Did you export the theory to the U.S? Maybe George Washington learned things from the sister Trung. Black lives matter needs you as well. Don't look down your head and focus on your own interest.

@@littleshepherdcupw.6609 "It sounds they had methodology for the democracy and freedom before the UK or the US quite a lot of decades or centuries." As far as I know, the history of England dated back to 3,000-2,500 BC when Stonehenge in Wiltshire was constructed. This means England history is about over 5,000 years old. However, the actual history of England started with Roman General Julius Caesar first time invading the island in 55 BC. And this year 2023 Americans mark 247 years in honor of Independence Day. According to the Weatherhead East Asian Institute of Columbia University, the history of Vietnam dated back to Phung Nguyen culture-roughly 4,000-3,000 BC. This means Vietnam history is about 5,000-6,000 years. This is why I personally believed the Vietnamese people culturally understand freedom and independence more than any American or English person.
I wonder what do you know about this historical story ? Are you was brain washed and trained by by the VC . Trung sisters formerly Nanyue dynasty (before An nam was fromed). And the battlefield was all over those regions of Tong Tinh lake ,south of Yangtze River.
The sisters were upper class nobles whom rebelled against the Han and failed. They were nothing but pirates, also there is so much WOKE bs on this that would make the Sisters sick.
Woke didn't exist back then you stupid b1tch😂. Besides Trung Trac's husband gets killed and that triggered Trung Trac, so she wants revenge for her husband. What woke about this? Loving a husband is woke now? The west is so dumb
