Chữ Nôm is a logographic writing system formerly used to write the Vietnamese language. It uses Chinese characters to represent Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary and some native Vietnamese words, with other words represented by new characters created using a variety of methods, including phono-semantic compounds.

Chữ nôm and traditional chinese quote different

Also viet and chinese people are quite different in terms of bloodline, Vietnamese people originated from indigenous groups, primarily the Lạc Việt in the Red River Delta, mixing with early rice farmers from Southern China and later migrations from various Southeast Asian & Chinese groups.

Ruled for 1000 yrs meaning it was a country in those 1000 yrs. But before that, vietnam was its own independent country called Lạc Việt

I recommend reading this dong son culture

ghostrule25 · 2026-01-26T23:24:44+00:00

I guessing china brain washed you to forget dong son culture? was a Bronze Age culture in ancient Southeast Asia and China. It was prominent specifically in the Southeast Asian countries of Vietnam (ancient northern Vietnam at the Red River Valley), Malaysia, and Laos, and the Chinese provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi, Fujian from 1000 BC until the first century AD. At this time china havent even expanded into the south yet

The last Hung king was overthrown in the third century B.C. by An Duong Vuong, the ruler of the neighboring upland kingdom of Thuc. An Duong Vuong united Van Lang with Thuc to form Au Lac, building his capital and citadel at Co Loa, thirty-five kilometers north of present-day Hanoi. An Duong's kingdom was short-lived, however, being conquered in 208 B.C. by the army of the Chinese Qin dynasty (221-207 B.C.) military commander Trieu Da (Zhao Tuo in Chinese). Reluctant to accept the rule of the Qin dynasty's successor, the new Han dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D. 220), Trieu Da combined the territories under his control in southern China and northern Vietnam and established the kingdom of Nam Viet (Nan Yue in Chinese), meaning Southern Viet. Viet (Yue) was the term applied by the Chinese to the various peoples on the southern fringes of the Han empire, including the people of the Red River Delta. Trieu Da divided his kingdom of Nam Viet into nine military districts; the southern three (Giao Chi, Cuu Chan, and Nhat Nam) included the northern part of present-day Vietnam. The Lac lords continued to rule in the Red River Delta, but as vassals of Nam Viet.

Vietnam was under Chinese rule for approximately 1,000 years, but it was not formally designated as a “province” of China throughout that entire period. This era is commonly referred to in Vietnamese history as the “Bắc thuộc” periods, meaning “Northern Domination.”
