A time within memory of our nation’s first founders, the history of thousands of years with a civilization, heroes and their victories, a belief that all Vietnamese were born by the only mother initially, the utmost familiar name “The Vietnamese Peoples” which is heartily felt and sounded very Vietnamese. PHAM TRAN ANH 6 PHAM TRAN ANH DI CHÚC MUÔN ĐỜI “Các người chớ quên, chính nước lớn mới làm những điều bậy bạ, trái đạo. Vì rằng họ cho mình cái quyền nói một đường làm một nẻo. Cho nên cái họa lâu đời của ta là họa Trung Quốc. Chớ coi thường chuyện vụn vặt xảy ra trên biên ải mà ta phải nghĩ tới chuyện khác lớn hơn là họ không bao giờ tôn trọng biên giới quy ước. Họ cứ luôn luôn đặt ra những cái cớ để tranh chấp. Không thôn tính được ta, thì gậm nhấm ta. Họ gậm nhấm đất đai của ta, lâu dần họ sẽ biến giang san của ta từ cái tổ đại bàng thành cái tổ chim chích. Vậy nên các người phải nhớ lời ta dặn: Một tấc đất của tiền nhân để lại, cũng không được để lọt vào tay kẻ khác... Ta muốn lời nhắn nhủ này như một di chúc cho con cháu muôn đời sau. Quá khứ là gốc rễ của tương lai, rễ càng đâm sâu thì cây mới vững vàng và càng vươn cao”. VUA TRẦN NHÂN TÔN(1279-1293) “Một thước núi, một tấc sông của ta, lẽ nào có thể vứt bỏ? Ngươi phải kiên quyết tranh biện, chớ cho họ lấn dần. Nếu họ không nghe, còn có thể sai sứ sang phương Bắc trình bày rõ điều ngay, lẽ gian. Nếu ngươi dám đem một thước sông, một tấc đất của Thái Tổ làm mồi cho gìặc, thì phải tội tru di … ”. VUA LÊ THÁNH TÔNG (1460-1497) VIỆT NAM NƯỚC TÔI - VN MY COUNTRY 7 THE IMMORTAL WORDS! "You shouldn't forget it is a big country that would do bad and immoral things. It gives itself the right to say one thing and act differently. Therefore, the forever threats we must be aware of are from the Chinese. We shouldn’t belittle a tiny thing like a mole that occurs along our borderlands, for such a mole, without our timely intervention, will eventually become a mountain. The Chinese never abide to the agreed boundaries; they always put about excuses leading to dispute. They cannot take over our country, but they wear away our land; they gradually gnaw at our land. In the long run their attempt is to downsize our territory – from an eagle nest to that of a sparrow. So you must always keep in mind what I say:"Any inch of land that was passed to us by our ancestors must not fail or fall into other people's hands. I want to say this as a testament for our future generations ...". The past is the root of the future, the deeper roots go, the stronger and higher plants will grow. " KING TRAN NHAN TON (1279-1293) " An inch of the mountain, or an inch of the river is our land that cannot be wasted. You must contend with them to prevent them from wearing away our land. If they don’t listen to us, you can have an envoy come to the North to settle the matter diplomatically. If you dare cede one inch of the mountain or an inch of the river to the enemy, you will be beheaded …". KING LE THANH TONG (1460-1497) 8 PHAM TRAN ANH “Chúng ta đều do Tổ Tiên sinh ra, không cứ là trai gái già trẻ, không cứ là chi tộc nào, dòng họ nào. Mọi người đều là CON RỒNG CHÁU TIÊN, từ một bào thai của mẹ Âu nên tất cả đều từ một mẹ sinh ra các ngành các chi mà thôi. Cành cây lớn muôn lá, gốc vốn ở rễ. Nước có nghìn dòng sông, muôn ngọn suối, vốn có gốc từ một ngọn nguồn. Cảnh vật còn như vậy, huống chi là con người chúng ta. Con người sinh ra đời, đời đời nối tiếp về sau, đều do các người đời trước nuôi nấng dìu dắt vậy. Ngưỡng mộ và tưởng nhớ Tổ Tiên, chúng ta hãy lấy việc siêng năng mà bồi đắp cho gốc rễ. Lấy sự cần kiệm làm răn rồi tu nhân tích đức, giàu lòng thương người hơn là chê bai ghen ghét người. Là con cháu thì chúng ta phải nối tiếp truyền thống của Tổ Tiên, chứ lẽ nào con cháu mà lại không suy nghĩ về ý nghĩa thâm trầm cao đẹp nói trên hay sao?”.

Regardless of gender, age, tribe, clan, We are all ‘Children of the Fairy and the Dragon’ from Mother Au Co who gave birth to us - our tribes and clans. It’s like a large tree with many limbs coming from the same trunk and the same root. Water to thousands of rivers and streams comes from one source. That’s the Nature, let alone human beings like us. Generation after generation are born, brought up and guided by our predecessors. To revere and remember our ancestors, we should work hard to take good care of the roots and the source. We should exert our industry to cultivate virtue and morality in ourselves and in the young. We should thrive in compassion toward other peoples rather than disparaging and envying of others. As descendants of our ancestors, we have to preserve the traditions our ancestors have set. Shouldn’t we think about the above beautiful and profound meanings for the sake of our country?”.

TRẦN TRỌNG KIM (Việt Nam Sử Lược) “ Một việc phi thường mà không một sử gia nào có thể giải thích được một cách thỏa đáng, mặc dầu đã nghiên cứu rất nhiều là tại sao sau hơn 1 ngàn năm bị đô hộ, dân tộc Việt Nam vẫn không bị đồng hóa và Việt Nam vẫn giành lại nền độc lập dân tộc”.

  • Modern Hong Kong
    Modern Hong Kong Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Asian History Modern Hong Kong Steve Tsang Subject: China, Hong Kong, Macao, and/or Taiwan Online Publication Date: Feb 2017 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.280 Abstract and Keywords Hong Kong entered its modern era when it became a British overseas territory in 1841. In its early years as a Crown Colony, it suffered from corruption and racial segregation but grew rapidly as a free port that supported trade with China. It took about two decades before Hong Kong established a genuinely independent judiciary and introduced the Cadet Scheme to select and train senior officials, which dramatically improved the quality of governance. Until the Pacific War (1941–1945), the colonial government focused its attention and resources on the small expatriate community and largely left the overwhelming majority of the population, the Chinese community, to manage themselves, through voluntary organizations such as the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. The 1940s was a watershed decade in Hong Kong’s history. The fall of Hong Kong and other European colonies to the Japanese at the start of the Pacific War shattered the myth of the superiority of white men and the invincibility of the British Empire. When the war ended the British realized that they could not restore the status quo ante. They thus put an end to racial segregation, removed the glass ceiling that prevented a Chinese person from becoming a Cadet or Administrative Officer or rising to become the Senior Member of the Legislative or the Executive Council, and looked into the possibility of introducing municipal self-government.

    Wang et al. Hereditas (2018) 155:19 https://doi.org/10.1186/s41065-018-0057-5 RESEARCH Open Access Genetic structure, divergence and admixture of Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean populations Yuchen Wang1,2, Dongsheng Lu1,2, Yeun-Jun Chung3 and Shuhua Xu1,2,4,5,6* Abstract Background: Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean, the three major ethnic groups of East Asia, share many similarities in appearance, language and culture etc., but their genetic relationships, divergence times and subsequent genetic exchanges have not been well studied. Results: We conducted a genome-wide study and evaluated the population structure of 182 Han Chinese, 90 Japanese and 100 Korean individuals, together with the data of 630 individuals representing 8 populations wordwide. Our analyses revealed that Han Chinese, Japanese and Korean populations have distinct genetic makeup and can be well distinguished based on either the genome wide data or a panel of ancestry informative markers (AIMs). Their genetic structure corresponds well to their geographical distributions, indicating geographical isolation played a critical role in driving population differentiation in East Asia. The most recent common ancestor of the three populations was dated back to 3000 ~ 3600 years ago. Our analyses also revealed substantial admixture within the three populations which occurred subsequent to initial splits, and distinct gene introgression from surrounding populations, of which northern ancestral component is dominant. Conclusions: These estimations and findings facilitate to understanding population history and mechanism of human genetic diversity in East Asia, and have implications for both evolutionary and medical studies. Keywords: Han Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Genetic ancestry, Population structure, Population divergence, Admixture, SNP Background existed in Korean until their recent abolition in the East Asia is one of the world’s most populated places, 1940s [1].

  • Literate Shamanism: the Priests Called Then Among the Tày in Guangxi and Northern Vietnam
    religions Article Literate Shamanism: The Priests Called Then among the Tày in Guangxi and Northern Vietnam David Holm Department of Ethnology, National Chengchi University, 64 Zhinan Road Section 2, Wenshan District, Taipei 11605, Taiwan; [email protected] Received: 30 November 2018; Accepted: 9 January 2019; Published: 18 January 2019 Abstract: Then is the designation in Vietnamese and Tày given to shamanic practitioners of the Tày ethnicity, who reside mainly in the northern provinces of Vietnam. Scholars are long aware that the predominantly female spirit mediums among the Zhuang in Guangxi, variously called mehmoed or mehgimq, had a ritual repertoire which included shamanic journeys up to the sky as their essential element. The ritual songs of the mehmoed are orally transmitted, unlike the rituals of male religious practitioners in Guangxi such as Taoist priests, Ritual Masters, and mogong, all of which are text-based. One was led rather easily to posit a dichotomy in which male performers had texts, and female performers had repertoires which were orally transmitted. This division also seemed to hold true for certain seasonal song genres, at least in Guangxi. For that matter, shamanic traditions cross-culturally are seen as predominantly or exclusively oral traditions. Recent research among the Tày-speaking communities in northern Vietnam has confounded this tidy picture. Religious practitioners among the Tày include the Put, who in many cases have texts which incorporate segments of shamanic sky journeys and may be either male or female; and the Then, also both male and female, who have extensive repertoires of shamanic rituals which are performed and transmitted textually.

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

  • The Muong Epic Cycle of "The Birth of the Earth and Water"
    https://doi.org/10.7592/FEJF2019.75.grigoreva THE MUONG EPIC CYCLE OF ‘THE BIRTH OF THE EARTH AND WATER’: MAIN THEMES, MOTIFS, AND CULTURE HEROES Nina Grigoreva Department of Asian and African Studies National Research University Higher School of Economics Saint Petersburg, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This article seeks to introduce into comparative folkloristics an epic tradition of the Muong, one of minority groups in northern Vietnam. More pre- cisely, it deals with the epic cycle of ‘The Birth of the Earth and Water’, which represents an essential part of the Muong ritual narratives. This cycle was pre- sumably created not later than the fifteenth century and was intended for prac- ticing mourning rituals. Although in 2015 ritual narratives of the Muong were recognized as national intangible cultural heritage in Vietnam, the Muong epics have remained practically unknown and unexplored in Western scholarship. The article discusses the most common epic themes, such as creation, man’s origin and reproduction, acquisition of culture, and deeds and fights of the main culture heroes through a number of motifs represented in tales constituting the Muong epic cycle. Comparative analysis of these themes and motifs in global and regional perspectives reveals obvious parallels with their representations in the world folklore as well as some specific variations and local links. Keywords: comparative analysis, culture hero, epic cycle, motif, the Muong, ritual narratives, theme, Vietnam Research into universal archetypes and themes, classification of recurrent motifs as well as analysis of culture heroes and revealing common patterns in their representations became main defining trends within comparative folkloristics during the twentieth century.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This study demonstrates how Indians with French citizenship were able through their stay in Indochina to have some say in shaping their position within the French colonial empire, and how in turn they made then' mark on Indochina itself. Known as ‘renouncers’, they gained their citizenship by renoimcing their personal laws in order to to be judged by the French civil code. Mainly residing in Cochinchina, they served primarily as functionaries in the French colonial administration, and spent the early decades of their stay battling to secure recognition of their electoral and civil rights in the colony. Their presence in Indochina in turn had an important influence on the ways in which the peoples of Indochina experienced and assessed French colonialism.
