  • From the first humans to ever enter Vietnam down to the legendary Kingdom of Van Lang. The history of Vietnam is so much more than the Vietnam War.
    I trace Vietnamese history from the first humans 63,000 years ago, to the Hoabinhian culture, to the Phung Nguyen, right down to the Dong Son, the amazing Bronze Age civilization of Vietnam.
    Check out Epimetheus' video here:

I have live in Da Nang for the last eleven years and have no intention of leaving in this lifetime. Trying to find books in english that talk about anything but the war is frustrating. The Viets are not nearly as obsessed with the war as Americans are, they spent nearly a thousand years trying to protect their independence, China, France, and finally the USA. They are a happy, industrious. and beautiful people. I am honored that they allow me to live here and enjoy real freedom.

      I live in Europe and Vietnam is approached mostly in 3 ways by anyone except for leftists: Nothing - people just avoid talking about it, or they only talk about the Vietnam war about "evil" Vietnamese and "good" French, or if they talk about anything more than the vietnam war it's called some sort of sparsely populated and poor backwater until the French came. And people still call it a bad place to live in even though the average person has it better than a lot of places in the "west". People in the political centre over here talk about vietnam like right-wingers mostly. Everyone even the left agrees that they don't like Vietnam to have only 1 party. Almost no one talks about things like religious persecution or murders in South Vietnam before 1975 and when you do bring it up and show sources people often just look at you with big eyes and will forget about it until you meet them again. Pretend as if the South was flawless and the North was mordor.

      The dragon and the fairy was just ancient tale .
      The meaning of 100 eggs ( the eggs in one bag )is : all the Viet's tribes in the land from Southern part of China, South side of Yangtze River, are brothers and sisters.
      50 went with father ,50 went with mother. The meaning of that is: the children went on the different way to opend the land ,along the seashore or in the jungle.

      *Tiên* were mistranslated as fairy because fairy is an 'female beings'. Vietnamese call it "Tiên nữ" and before that Tiên (come from Chinese xian) is can be variant like "Tiên ông, Tiên bà, Tiên cô, Tiên tử, Tiên nhân (" come from Daoism meaning "spiritually immortal ; transcendent ; super-human ; celestial being".
      So Âu Cơ is a Tiên but not a fairy which is a Western paganism things. A "fairy, siren, nymph or elf" could be a Tiên, but Tiên is not just only "fairy, siren, nymph or elf"

    Hi Stefan thanks for the chill and clear headed / well researched and pondering stuff. Really like it. Something that comes up a lot that I find pretty much as mysterious as I find interesting, what's your best guess for how early trade networks formed? Isolated, relatively self sufficient groups manage to come across all kinds of stuff from much farther than it is possible for them to travel. It just seems amazing that it always tends to happen that a group become dependent on some faraway resource.

    Just returned from a tour, and our guide started their history with the fall of the old kingdoms to 1000 years of Chinese rule, then 200 years of civil war, from which the Nguyen family emerged victorious, who expanded to the south [now central] through dynastic unions with the existing 'Champ' peoples (who were linguistically and perhaps genetically Austronesian, ie same origins as today's Indonesians). The Nguyen family grew large and remained dominant due to the early kings granting power and privilege to families who changed their name to Nguyen and also the 'Tiger King' who had 500 concubines and sired 150 or so children. According to our guide, the Mekong delta was settled by migrants from the north who wanted a better life (probably getting a bit crowded up north). Nothing was said of the people already inhabiting the delta, but I guess they were Khmer from further up the river. Then the French! Great history, I'd love to see more detail from pre-colonial eras.

    Great Video. I just recently saw a vid showing a Vietnamese company is opening a 5 billion dollar plant in North Carolina to built two versions of an electric SUV. I think the USA and Vietnam are going to increase there trading more in the future!

    Way back in the 1960s I checked out a book at our local library. It was originally in French and translated to English. It was an excellent history of Vietnam. At that time, people my age were worried about getting drafted and fighting there. I joined the military in 1972 when I graduated high school, but I never got to Vietnam. I've got many friends who still either live there or travel there often. Regardless of the war, they loved Vietnam and the people.

    This is really important to me as a european because it helps to correct the eurocentric, colonial view on the world's history that is still so prevalent in western culture and sadly also in my thinking.
    When I started learning about prehistory, I noticed that I myself seemed to have a strange reflex in my thinking that would somehow devalue the achievements of those non first-world civilisations for no apparent reason. At the same time I still admired those stunning accomplishments way before our modern times. This created a cognitive dissonance which I hope to overcome by learning even more about what happened far away from europe much earlier.
    Humankind has an awesome history all across the globe.

Please study Vietnamese history well before you post on social media.

      @Kush Kunte peoples in central highland probably shared the same ancestors from indonesia with viet’s ancestors living in south china. As the flow of immigration was from indonesia to indochina then up north to south of china. Much much later on the descendants of Vietnamese people in south China came back to the old land due to northern chinese invasion.

    I too have a new Vietnamese wife and child. I'm fascinated by the countries history and culture. One thing I'll point out though is about the origin myth of the Vietnamese people. I've heard the story too, but its not the reason why there are so many Nguyen's, Tran's, Le's, Pham's, and other identical surnames. It's more to do with the ruling families. Every time the dynasty changed, people would change their names to match that of the ruling family's. The old dynasties family would be killed off. So to minimize the risk that it would be an early death, there would be mass renaming of surnames instead. The last ruling dynasty were the Nguyen's, which ended in 1945. Hence why around 40% of all Vietnamese are Nguyen. I look forward to more content on this subject.

    • @nguyenandrew5934
      @nguyenandrew5934 2 года назад

      TRINH - NGUYEN civil war began in 1627 and ended in 1775. Trinh ruled in the north and Nguyen ruled in the south. And changing family name occured for those who decided to move south. Other sources said these migrants received assistance and favors if they have same family name as their ruler.
      Reasons: In 1533 Mac Dang Dung overthrew his king Le. Nguyen Kim was a general of the ousted king still supporting his king's prince but he was killed by his son in law named Trinh Kiem. He also killed his father in law's oldest son. The second son moved south to avoid the massacre. That's why those who had the family name Trinh or any family names related to Trinh Kiem were killed in the south.

      No it's because a Chinese governor gave everyone his last name as a part of the census. It's why everyone is named Nguyen.

      *Tiên* were mistranslated as fairy because fairy is an "celestial beings" but they just 'female beings'. Vietnamese call it "Tiên nữ" and before that Tiên (come from Chinese xian) is can be variant like "Tiên ông, Tiên bà, Tiên cô, Tiên tử, Tiên nhân (" come from Daoism meaning "spiritually immortal ; transcendent ; super-human ; celestial being".
      So Âu Cơ is a Tiên but not a fairy which is a Western paganism things. A "fairy, siren, nymph or elf" could be a Tiên, but Tiên is not just only "fairy, siren, nymph or elf"

    Apparently, the chicken was also first domesticate in the Indochinese Peninsula - possibly by a pre/proto-Vietnamese culture.
    The modern Vietnamese (Kinh) people are a hybrid mix of local Lac cultures and incoming Chinese Chin Dynasty military colonists from around the 2nd century BC - and they also gradually mixed with various highland tribes, Cham people in central Vietnam and Khmer people in the South.
    Like the Chinese Han people (or Arabs) - the Vietnamese (Kinh) are not homogenous, but are a 'super ethnicity' that absorbs genetically and linguistically different groups into a unified language, culture and people.
    The ancestors of the Vietnamese Royal Dynasties: Tran, Nguyen, Le, Ly (and popular family names) originated in coastal Fujian province of China - and these clans settled into coastal north Vietnam during the period Chinese control.
    They set up more technologically advanced fishing and aqua-industries and became fabulously wealthy and powerful. After the independence of Vietnam from China, they became Nobility and created the various Royal Dynasties of Vietnam.
    I'm part Vietnamese and have been to Vietnam - fascinating history and an amazing place.
