    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      @louisalong7019 Год назад +5

      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.

      @@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.
