Vietnamese Civilization
The Vietnamese people represent a fusion of races, languages, and cultures, the elements of which are still being sorted out by ethnologists, linguists, and archaeologists. As was true for most areas of Southeast Asia, the Indochina Peninsula was a crossroads for many migrations of peoples, including speakers of Austronesian, Mon-Khmer, and Tai languages. The Vietnamese language provides some clues to the cultural mixture of the Vietnamese people. Although a separate and distinct language, Vietnamese borrows much of its basic vocabulary from Mon-Khmer, tonality from the Tai languages, and some grammatical features from both Mon-Khmer and Tai. Vietnamese also exhibits some influence from Austronesian languages, as well as large infusions of Chinese literary, political, and philosophical terminology of a later period. The area now known as Vietnam has been inhabited since Paleolithic times, with some archaeological sites in Thanh Hoa Province reportedly dating back several thousand years. Archaeologists link the beginnings of Vietnamese civilization to the late Neolithic, early Bronze Age, Phung-nguyen culture, which was centered in Vinh Phu Province of contemporary Vietnam from about 2000 to 1400 B.C.. By about 1200 B.C., the development of wet-rice cultivation and bronze casting in the Ma River and Red River plains led to the development of the Dong Son culture, notable for its elaborate bronze drums. The bronze weapons, tools, and drums of Dong Sonian sites show a Southeast Asian influence that indicates an indigenous origin for the bronze-casting technology. Many small, ancient copper mine sites have been found in northern Vietnam. Some of the similarities between the Dong Sonian sites and other Southeast Asian sites include the presence of boat-shaped coffins and burial jars, stilt dwellings, and evidence of the customs of betel-nut-chewing and teeth-blackening. According to the earliest Vietnamese traditions, the founder of the Vietnamese nation was Hung Vuong, the first ruler of the semilegendary Hung dynasty (2879-258 B.C., mythological dates) of the kingdom of Van Lang. Hung Vuong, in Vietnamese mythology, was the oldest son of Lac Long Quan (Lac Dragon Lord), who came to the Red River Delta from his home in the sea, and Au Co, a Chinese immortal. Lac Long Quan, a Vietnamese cultural hero, is credited with teaching the people how to cultivate rice. The Hung dynasty, which according to tradition ruled Van Lang for eighteen generations, is associated by Vietnamese scholars with Dong Sonian culture. An important aspect of this culture by the sixth century B.C. was the tidal irrigation of rice fields through an elaborate system of canals and dikes. The fields were called Lac fields, and Lac, mentioned in Chinese annals, is the earliest recorded name for the Vietnamese people. The Hung kings ruled Van Lang in feudal fashion with the aid of the Lac lords, who controlled the communal settlements around each irrigated area, organized construction and maintenance of the dikes, and regulated the supply of water. Besides cultivating rice, the people of Van Lang grew other grains and beans and raised stock, mainly buffaloes, chickens, and pigs. Potterymaking and bamboo-working were highly developed crafts, as were basketry, leather-working, and the weaving of hemp, jute, and silk. Both transport and communication were provided by dugout canoes, which plied the network of rivers and canals. http://countrystudies.us/vietnam/3.htm

OMG u r such a failure in history, I wish u could go back to elementary and study the "real" history again. We were not dominated, we stay strong and being independence since 938 and 1430s. And then when the Japanese took over for like 5 years, French came over to support and developing Vietnam again, giving us our own language. Ofc French and American were so great that made Saigon the best in SEA. Until Communist took over.
-
Wow very nice knowledge you got there buddy. We were proud, rich and powerful against the Chinese, the Japanese, the Mongolian... until communist came and takeover. Everything now go into a different path, how sad
-
Have a quest for you:" Viet ruled by Chinese 1000years, but Why Vietnamese thinking they are Vietnamese now?"
-
Great Video. these photos are so valuable that it remind me the old days gone with the wind. When people are frustrated with the fact, the old days seems to be so precious.
-
WTF are you talking about? Are you Chinese? yeah...Han Chinese was not so different. They were raped by babarians all over their history. Han Chinese now is descendent of Man, Yi, Rong, Di men and Hua Xia women hahaha

Check out China's the Four Great Hookers. Prostitution was systematically, legally worshipped since ancient time! The most funny thing is these 4 ancient hookers ended up DEAD at very young age, hahaha.... The Chineseook monkeys today still feel regretful that they were dead so young, they make numerous movies in honor of these 4 hookers! Amazing!
-
Check out the most famous Chinkese hooker today: Gan LuLu. Even her name exhibits her naturally born nature: Lu means Expose, so LuLu means Double Expore! This hooker loves to take her clothes off in public to promote a product. Well, this is nothing new in Western countries, but the shocking difference about this hooker is she is fully supported and promoted by her Chinesegook mother! The gook mother is with her at every event when she takes her clothes off! Typical shameless Chinese Monkeys!
-
Why Han Chinese Gook Monkeys are so short? you look like you stop growing at 12 yrs old. And you all live in 10' by 10' rat hole basement apartments in New York. The doors of these apartments literrally open up ON the sidewalks like sewage lids. Then a Chinesegook (male and female) just crawls up and down like he crawls up and down from the sewage. Just a strange sight to look at! hahaha....
-
Chinesegook Monkeys simply think "Chinaman" means a man from China. Little that they know, unlike other identity terms like Irishman or Frenchman, Chinaman actually a degratorary term labeled to Chinesemonkeys specifically! Its insulting capacity is equal to that of niggers! The whites came up with many insulting words to different races like Chink, Gook, Redneck, White trash, ect. But never once a term indicates specifically to a country. It shows how special HanChineseGookMonkeys are.
-
Recently, in order to reduce the insulting capacity of the term "Chinaman", Chinesemonkeys attempt to change it to "China man" under the excuse that "Chinaman" is not a compound word! Stupid Chinesegookmonkeys retards!
-
Han Chinese Swamp Gook Monkeys love Youtube, but Youtube is blocked in their shithole, they don't deserve such basic priviliege. The ones who escape that shithold like my Chinese dog here love to display all their wild fantasies and have the world laugh at them even harder than before.
-
HanChineseGookMOnkeys are known as beggers = leeches to the world since ancient time. That explains why there are HanChineseGook Monkey faces in every country on earth. Majority fled and arrived as refugees worldwide when there were killings among themselves inside their country, they begged foreign countries to let them in. Others arrived as immigrants by paying $50,000 for a fake marriage, or arrived as laborers on work visas. But afterall, HanCHineseGookMOnkeys arrived as scums of the earth.
-
Why is there Chinatown in every city of the US? Don't tell me there were no local people living there before. Don't tell me it was just an empty land before Chinesegook monkeys arrived. No, there was local establishment there. Then when the Chinesegook monkeys moved in. The locals were so afraid of their loud, duckling talks as well as their filthy habits like spitting on the streets, dumping trash on the street, peeing in the alleys, ect. The locals moved out to get away from them!!!
