Đại Việt and Champa: Panduranga, Kauthara, and Indrapura
Most travellers to Vietnam will, at some point, visit a Cham tower or view some Cham artefacts in a museum. These were left behind by the Cham people of the now-vanished kingdom of Champa. They are unique, exquisite and mythical. The people who built and carved these beautiful works once inhabited central Vietnam and the northern part of the south, which stretches over 1,000 kilometres from north to south. Today, with a population of less than 200,000, the Chams live primarily in Ninh Thuận, Bình Thuận and other provinces in the Mekong Delta. Champa’s history is broadly divided into three eras: the First Era (5th to 10th centuries), the Second (10th to 15th centuries) and the Third (1...
Đại Việt and Champa: The Early Centuries – The Dynasties of Đinh, Tiền (Former) Lê, Lý, and Trần
For most of the first millennium until the early 10th century, the northern half of Vietnam remained a province of Imperial China, with brief periods of independence. In 938, the country regained its sovereignty, but within a few decades, the Song dynasty invaded. From that time until the late 13th century, Vietnam – then known as Đại Cồ Việt and later Đại Việt – along with Champa, fought to defend its territory against the Song, again, and the Mongol-led Yuan dynasties. This book, Volume 3A, explores the key events of this turbulent period. The author visited most of the sites mentioned in the book to collect materials for this volume. Dr Đỗ Thị Thùy Lan, Senior Lec...
One Thousand Years - The Stories of Giao Châu, the Kingdoms of Linyi, Funan and Zhenla
During the Vietnam War, the country was divided at the 17th parallel. About 140 kilometres north of this dividing line is a mountain pass called Ngang pass. The land south of this pass, about 60 per cent of present-day Vietnam, was occupied for centuries by the kingdoms of Linyi, Funan and Zhenla. But most people either have not heard of them or have only vague ideas about them. This book is about these kingdoms. North of Ngang pass, Giao Châu, was ruled by northern dynasties for over a thousand years from the 2nd century BCE to the 10th century CE, barring a few intervals of independence. This volume also tells how the people of Giao Châu came out of this long period to become an independ...
The Bronze Drums and the Earrings - Volume One of A Traveller’s Story of Vietnam’s Past
A Google search for a book on Vietnamese history will result in an overwhelming number about the war, which ended in 1975. This book offers an overview of Vietnamese history from prehistory to the present day and is written for people interested in history from a traveller’s perspective. It specifically focuses on the period from 700 to 111 BCE. It briefly discusses the origin of the Vietnamese and the three characters who shaped its early history: the Hùng kings – the founders of Vietnam, An Dương Vương, Zhao Tuo and the battles involved during the transfer of power from one to the next. The final battle ended the country’s autonomy and placed the country under Chinese dynastic rule for one thousand years to the 10th century. It also tells the stories of the mythical Four Immortals, the bronze drums in the north, and the earrings in the centre and south. It recounts the tragic love story of the Magic Crossbow, the 2200-year-old fort of Cổ Loa. It has 71 photographs, maps and diagrams.
Đại Việt and Champa: Occupation and Liberation The Dynasties of Hồ and Hậu (Later) Lê
On a cold winter day—3 January 1428—the overall commander of the Ming forces in Giao Chỉ (northern Vietnam) led a column of senior officers, soldiers, and civilians out through the gate of Đông Quan (in modern Hanoi) to begin their long journey back to southern China. Wang Tong, the commander, travelled by land, likely through Lạng Sơn, while others followed the Red River down to the East Sea, returning to Guangzhou by water. Across the Red River, Lê Lợi, the man who had successfully driven the Ming occupiers from Đại Việt, stood quietly with his chief secretary, Nguyễn Trãi, as the long-awaited withdrawal unfolded. Lê Lợi would go on to found the Later Lê dynasty, ...
