They are thought to have originated in southern China in the third century BCE. From the second century BCE to the 10th century CE, they mixed with the surrounding areas' people, Thais and Indonesians of the Red River Delta. Over time, the Vietnamese moved southward and dispossessed/assimilated the Hinduized people of the Funan kingdom. There, the Hindu kingdom of Champa appeared in the second century CE, but moved south to what is now Nha Trang, displacing the tribal people already there who were forced up into the mountains and highlands. There are 54 ethnic minority groups inhabiting Viet Nam. The Kinh, or Viets, account for nearly 90 percent of the country's total population. Other major ethnic minority groups include the Tay, Muong, Thai, H'mong, Dao and Khmer. All of these groups have united in fighting against foreign invaders, defending their country, Viet Nam. Other ethnic groups include the Chinese, a large group who settled around what is now Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), and the Khmer, who settled along the border with Kampuchea (formerly Cambodia). The montagnards, mountain tribes are of Mongolian extraction, while the southerners are Malayo-Polynesian and Mon-Khmer. It is because of the integration of so many diverse cultures and languages that Vietnamese is so unique compared to the other languages in its family. Legend has it that Viet Nam's origin lay in the union of King Lac Long Quan, (also known as the "Dragon Lord of Lac" or "Dragon Lord of the Seas"), and Princess Au Co, Princess of the Mountains (a Chinese immortal, descended from the High Mountains). The princess bore him a hundred eggs, out of which a hundred sons were born. Lac Long Quan came to the Red River Detta from his sea home with his wife. They soon established a nation that stretched from southern China to northern Indonesia. Lac Long Quan taught the Vietnamese how to cultivate rice. The fields were called Lac fields. However, the King and the Princess were convinced that their origins would ultimately make them unhappy, so they separated. Princess Au Co took 50 of their sons with her back into the mountains, while King Lac Long Quan took the others and ruled over the lowlands. After the King died in 2879 BCE, his eldest son, Hung Vuong, established the Hung dynasty. Hung Vuong is regarded as the founder of the Vietnamese nation and of the first Vietnamese dynasty. In Chinese annals, Lac is the name used for the Vietnamese people. This legend symbolizes the importance of uniting two main geographic and cultural areas of Viet Nam: the mountains (representing the north), and the lowlands (representing the south). 8th century GE, alphabetic Vietnamese (A - A, Man-Khmer, Viet-Muong) VietNam Pg. 1 It is a theme oft-repeated in Viet Nam's history, and it is also symbolized in the spelling of Viet Nam as two words, rather than one. However, the nation was not always known as Viet Nam. During the Hung dynasty, which produced 18 kings, each of whom ruled for 150 years, it was called Van Lang. This dynasty was then overthrown by a neighbouring king in 258 BCE, who established the new kingdom of Au Lac and built his capital at Phuc An, the remains of which still exist in the village of Co Loa, west of Hanoi. A Chinese general, Trieu Da, conquered the kingdom 50 years later, and formed the new nation of Ham Viet. Many scholars consider this to be the end of the historical legend and beginning of modem Vietnamese history. The next hundred years saw much conflict between King Trieu Da and the Han emperors of China. Finally, in 111 BCE, Ham Viet was conquered and incorporated into the Chinese empire. For 19 centuries, the people of Viet Nam struggled continuously against the Chinese for independence. The first Vietnamese rebellion occurred in 39 CE, led by the legendary Trung sisters, who successfully drove out the Chinese. The nation lived free from Chinese rule until three years later when Viet Nam was reconquered. This next period of Chinese domination lasted until 539, when scholar, Ly Bon, once again drove out the Chinese rulers, only to be reinvaded a few years later. The Vietnamese continued to resist Chinese rule. While the Chinese introduced many important and beneficial agricultural, technical and educational innovations, the imposition of their culture, customs, language, political institutions, oppression and exploitation fueled the Vietnamese's fervent desire for freedom and independence. This desire was finally realized in 939 when General Ngo Quyen successfully drove out the Chinese, and established the first of the Great Dynasties of Viet Narn. These dynasties remained independent of foreign interference for nearly a millennium. During the peaceful Le dynasty (1427-1789), Viet Nam flourished. Major advances were made in administration. Literature and legal codes were based on Chinese models. Following this time period, power was shared by the great Trinh family of the North and the Nguyen family of the south. External control was imposed once again in the 19th century, when Viet Nam was occupied by the French. French rule lasted until World War II when the country was invaded by Japan. At war's end, the Communist Viet Minh party, who had led the resistance movement against the Japanese, declared the countrys independence. The French Indo-china War continued until France conceded defeat in 1954. The Geneva Accord left Viet Nam divided into a Communist north and an anti-Communist south. By this time, the United States had replaced the French as the primary sponsor of the anti-Communist government. Tension between north and south mounted over the next few years, until in 1964, full scale war erupted. The conflict lasted for the next eight years, and involved hundreds of thousands of troops from the United States and other countries. In 1973, a cease-fire agreement allowed the United States the opportunity to withdraw her troops, and in 1975, the southern capital of Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese. Political repression followed, prompting massive emigration from the country. In 1991, with the fall of Communism and the end of the Cold War, many western powers reestablished diplomatic and trade relations with Viet Nam. 8th century GE, alphabetic Vietnamese (A - A, Man-Khmer, Viet-Muong) VietNam Pg.2 Today, Hanoi has loosened restrictions on commerce. Small businesses have begun to be profitable, and those living abroad are now able to travel back to visit family and friends. Viet Nam is now attempting to find her way back to peace and rebuild the country. Viet Nam is predicted to become the next Asian tiger economy. LINGUISTIC BACKGROUND Vietnamese is spoken by 75 million people or 86.7 percent of the population in Viet Nam who call themselves nguoi Viet or nguoi kinh and occupy mainly the delta lowlands. It is also spoken by three million others in Australia, Cambodia, Canada, China, the Cote d'ivoire, Finland, France, Germany, Laos, Martinique, the Netherlands, New Caledonia, Norway, the Philippines, Senegal, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States and Vanuatu. The remaining 20 percent comprises more than 50 separate ethnic groups. About seven million of these ethnic minorities are members of the montagnards. Cambodians, Chinese and Indians also use Vietnamese as the mainstream language in their daily communication with the Vietnamese. The origin of the Vietnamese language is the subject of debate among linguists. It is usually put into a language family by itself along with Muong, a language spoken by a group of highlanders in North Viet Nam. Thus, Vietnamese belongs to the Mon-Khmer, Viet-Muong, Vietnamese branch of the Austro-Asiatic family of languages. Unrelated to Chinese, Vietnamese belongs to the Mon-Khmer stock which comprises Mon (spoken in Burma), and Khmer (the language of Cambodia), as well as Khmu, Bahnar, Bru and other languages of Viet Nam's highlands. The monotonic Mon-Khmer language has given Vietnamese many of its basic words while the Tai languages have contributed to many aspects of tonality and grammar. There is also a large number of compound words formed by linking two words with a hyphen. Because of this, some linguistics maintain that the Vietnamese language originates from an ancient polysyllabic root. The language's original polysyllabic words were later contracted due to the influence of the monosyllabic languages of continental Asia, most particularly, Chinese, a monosyllabic language. Words, which were polysyllabic in the 17th centUly, have become monosyllabic through contraction. Even though Vietnamese did not originate from Chinese, the influence of China has always been strong in Viet Nam, and thousands of Chinese words have been incorporated into Vietnamese. As the Chinese dominated Vietnamese culture and history for close to a millennium, much of its political, literary, philosophical, military and religious vocabulary comes from Chinese. While adopting many elements of Chinese, Vietnamese added its own pronunciation of the imported Chinese vocabulary until the language gradually became Han-Viet, Chinese-Vietnamese, a blend of the two. Added to this mixture is a sprinkling of modem French and English vocabulary.

  • Funeral Rites Across Different Cultures
    section nine critical incident FUNERAL RITES ACROSS DIFFERENT CULTURES Responses to death and the rituals and beliefs surrounding it tend to vary widely across the world. In all societies, however, the issue of death brings into focus certain fundamental cultural values. The various rituals and ceremonies that are performed are primarily concerned with the explanation, validation and integration of a peoples’ view of the world. In this section, the significance of various symbolic forms of behaviour and practices associated with death are examined before going on to describe the richness and variety of funeral rituals performed according to the tenets of some of the major religions of the world. THE SYMBOLS OF DEATH Social scientists have noted that of all the rites of passage, death is most strongly associated with symbols that express the core life values sacred to a society. Some of the uniformities underlying funeral practices and the symbolic representations of death and mourning in different cultures are examined below: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF COLOUR When viewed from a cross-cultural perspective, colour has been used almost universally to symbolise both the grief and trauma related to death as well as the notion of ‘eternal life’ and ‘vitality’. Black, with its traditional association with gloom and darkness, has been the customary colour of mourning for men and women in Britain since the fourteenth century. However, it is important to note that though there is widespread use of black to represent death, it is not the universal colour of mourning; neither has it always provided the funeral hue even in Western societies.

  • What You Can Do for a Bereaved Friend
    What you can do for a bereaved friend. When death touches the family of someone we love, we often ask the question, “Is there anything I can do?” We mean it sincerely, but sometimes we simply don’t know what to do, and the person we want to help may be hesitant to ask for anything specific – or may simply not be able to identify the help they need. Remember, people often find it difficult to ask for help. It is vitally important to volunteer. Following are a number of suggestions. Choose only the tasks you know you can do or that are appropriate to your relationship. During the first few days or at funeral time… - Be a house sitter when the family is away from the home making funeral arrangements, attending the visitation or attending the funeral or memorial service. - If the death occurs out-of-town and your friend is leaving for the funeral, pick up their mail and newspaper, water plants and watch the house. - Arrange for the care of their pets. - Answer the telephone. Make a list of names, addresses and telephone numbers of people who call, stop at the house or offer to help. Take accurate messages and give brief, correct information. - Telephone relatives and friends, notify them of the death and the funeral arrangements. - Clean the house and/or yard in preparation for people coming for the funeral. - If needed, do the laundry. - Keep a written record of food brought to the house including names, addresses, telephone numbers, the type of food they brought and a description of the container.

  • Translated from the Vietnamese by Quan Manh Ha University of Montana (USA)
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Eyes 87 provided by Assumption Journals Eyes by Nam Cao (1915-1951) Translated from the Vietnamese by Quan Manh Ha University of Montana (USA) About the author: Nam Cao is the pseudonym of Tran Huu Tri. He is acclaimed as a short story writer and novelist in early twentieth-century Vietnamese literature. Throughout his writing career, Nam Cao was very aware of the responsibility of the realist writer: a writer must exercise both dignity and morality. Some of his famous works include “Chi Pheo” (1941), “Redundant Life” (1943), “Eyes” (1948), and “Story in the Frontier” (1948). In this story, “Eyes,” the Vietnamese title resonates metaphorically: the Vietnamese word implies differing points of view. The story contrasts the two main characters’ perspectives about the August Revolution of 1945 against the French and the role of the Vietnamese peasantry in the revolution, and it highlights the responsibility of the artist in wartime Vietnam. Nam Cao’s “Eyes” is considered a major statement on literary aesthetics for later Vietnamese writers, especially during the period of the Vietnam War. A young man from the village pointed me to a small brick gate and said, “Right here. Mr. Hoang lives here.”I tapped his shoulder and said, “Thanks. I’ll drop by your house later.” When I was about to enter the gate, he interrupted, “Hold on. Let me call Mr. Hoangto chain the dog first. It’s big and mean.” I watched the young man closely. I remembered my previous visits to Hoang’s home in Hanoi: after ringing the house bell, I always waited for Hoang himself to grab the leather collar of his huge dog—a Western-bred, German shepherd.

  • About Death Anniversary
    About the Death Anniversary Did you ever talk, but no one was listening? Felt like you were talking to a deaf person? In basic terms – Death Anniversary is a performance in which one is trying to communicate with a person who cannot hear him. I had that experience almost every time I was showing my work internationally. They (art catalogue text writers, curators, journalists, etc.) always read my work in the geopolitical context of the country I represent. So no matter what my work was about – it was seen only in the light of this Balkan communism- post-communism, war-post-war, anti-modern tradition, weird local habits, and described in terms of cultural, social and political references related to the place I come from. The question is - is this context unavoidably related to me and my work? Sometimes it really is. But that is not a ‘default’ situation of my art production, nor a starting point of each of my works.‘Death Anniversary’ is a way of showing what it looks like to be an artist with geopolitical burden. This is the situation in which you cannot walk on 1 the international art scene as a free man/artist – because you are always wearing this heavy load of your origin. This should be quite inappropriate and illogical for the in- ternational art scene – but unfortunately this is something a certain kind of artists cannot avoid. I guess we could say that it is not given to us to be seen as artists, but rather as cultural phenomena from a certain part of the world – an exotic and peripheral part at that.

  • Hindu Death Rituals
    The Bhagvad Gita says: Death is certain for one who has been born, and rebirth is inevitable for one who has died. Therefore, you should not lament over the inevitable. The Hindu religion teaches that death is a natural part of a continuous cycle of rebirth.The death rituals serve a two- fold purpose: to prepare the soul for its onward journey and assist the soul of the deceased to transition to the next stage peacefully and to assist the mourners in grieving the loss and letting go of the hold on the deceased soul. It is the responsibility of the loved ones to help the deceased soul move onward to its eternal home. The rituals and prayers seek to instill an energy of silence, stillness and peacefulness to soothe the loved ones in grief, so they can help in that journey. In these unprecedented challenging times, this should be used as a general guide of suggestions and options which may help. This is provided in light of common hindu rituals in India and with guidance from masters and gurus. It is a general statement on what may be done to help grieve in this difficult time. If possible: • Take a framed photograph of the deceased: the death rituals of bathing the body and dressing it/anointing it with a tikka may be done to the photograph. If possible, dress with a garland or place flowers on or around it. • Please light a tealight or candle and keep a vessel with water nearby. Keep the water for at least 24-48 hours, and keep the candle lit as long as you are safely able to as well.

  • Brian's Story
    ABSTRACT DEATH ACCEPTANCE AND INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS by Hideaki Imai Although researchers have investigated death attitudes since the 1960s, only a few have examined death acceptance as a research topic. Furthermore, most of these studies focused on quantitative assessments without finding consistent results. In this study, I conducted a qualitative investigation on the role of intimate relationships in accepting death. I interviewed four older adult participants about their death attitudes and intimate relationships in semi-structured interviews. From the results, I found that the male participants needed to deepen their relationships before accepting death, whereas the female participants already had intimate relationships and were able to accept death immediately as they became aware of their mortality.

Due to its particularity as a war between two neighboring socialist countries in Cold War Asia, the Border War has been a sensitive topic in Vietnam. While political sensitivity regarding the national past derives largely from the Party-State, the history and memory of the war has permeated Vietnamese society. The war’s legacy can be seen in anti-China sentiments that, in the globalized neoliberal order, appear to be reviving alongside post-Cold War nationalism. The Border War against China represented an important nationalist turn for Vietnam. At the same time, the traumatic breakdown of the socialist fraternity cultivated anxiety over domestic and international relations.
