Vietnamese History: Đông Sơn culture
By about 2000 B.C., the development of wet-rice cultivation and bronze casting in the Mã River and Hồng River plains led to the development of the Đông Sơn culture, notable for its elaborate bronze drums. The bronze weapons, tools, and drums of Đông Sơnian 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 Đông Sơnian 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.

Vietnamese History: The economy was based mainly on water-rice cultivation, and in addition were handicrafts, hunting and gathering, husbandry and fishing. Especially, the skill of bronze casting was at high level. The famous relics are Đông Sơn Bronze Drums on which depicted house models, clothing, custom, habits, and cultural activities of Hùng era. The Hùng kings ruled Văn Lang in feudal fashion with the aid of the Lạc 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 Văn 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.

Vietnamese History: The first dynasty of Vietnam

According to the Đại Việt Sử Ký Toàn Thư, after more than 1000 years after the ancient people (or we can call the time after the Stone Age “BC”), the inhabitant populations grew and spread to every part of Vietnam. Near the Hồng River, Cả River and Mã rivers 15 Vietnamese tribes were living. The 15 Vietnamese tribes were the strongest tribes at this time. The tribes compass were spread from Hồng River to the foot of the Ba Mountain to the foot of the Tam Bao Mountain. In the tribes there was the talented leader, he put together all the other tribes and became a great leader of the 15 tribes. He declared himself “king”, creating the first Viet dynasty known as Hồng Bàng. That leader is Hùng Vương, a Vietnamese cultural hero who is credited with teaching the people how to cultivate rice. Hùng Vương is the first king in Vietnam in the years about 3000 BC and the founding father of the country. King Hùng has named his Kingdom “Văn Lang” (that means Vietnam in the present), and set up the capital at Phong Châu (Việt Trì, Vĩnh Phú) on the cross-point of three rivers where the Red River Delta begins from the foot of mountains.[1]

His sons followed the Hùng Dynasty. The throne was given from father to son, generation to generations. The Hùng Dynasty has stopped after 88 dynasties on the advent of the military leader An Dương Vương’s conquest of Văn Lang. In total, the Hồng Bàng Dynasty was ruled by 88 successive kings (although only 18 names were recovered). Many great wars were fought in the beginning of the second dynasty.

The Hùng Vương era was thriving along with the water-rice civilization in the Red River Delta, at the mid-Bronze Age.

Vietnamese History: Rối nước
Water puppets.

Water puppetry, or rối nước, is a distinctively Vietnamese art form which arose in the 12th century. In water puppetry, a split-bamboo screen obscures puppets which stand in water and are manipulated using long poles hidden beneath the water. Due to strict restrictions on learning the art of water puppetry, the form had nearly died out before the Maison des Cultures du Monde intervened in 1984 and helped reinvigorate the genre.

Vietnamese History: Cải lương (modern folk opera)

Compared to tuồng and chèo, cải lương is more popular in modern Vietnam. Originating in the early 20th century, cải lương includes historical and contemporary themes. Cải lương has remained adaptable for modern innovations and now includes electric guitar and other new inventions. It is accompanied by nhạc tài tử, which is a complex and partially improvised form of chamber music.

Cải lương singing utilizes a great deal of vibrato; the words are extended when singing and the vibrato follows. A common melody used in cải lương is Vọng cổ.

Although cải lương remained extremely popular as late as the 1970s and the 1980s, nowadays this popularity has dwindled, especially among the younger generation, and the remaining troupes are only able to preserve the art because of government funding.[1][2]

Vietnamese History: Tuồng or Hát bội

Hát tuồng or “hát bội” was imported from China around the 13th century and was used for entertaining royalty for a time before being adapted for travelling troupes of actors. Stories in the opera tend to be ostensibly historical and frequently focus on the rules of social decorum. Like chèo and other forms of opera from around the world, tuồng employs the use of stock characters who are recognizable from their make-up and costumes, which are typically very elaborate and extravagant.
