Description: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 nearly a thousand years from the 2nd century BCE to 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 independent nation and why they did not want to become part of dynastic China. This is Volume II of the book series, “A Traveller’s Story of Vietnam’s Past”; it continues where Volume I, “The Bronze Drums and The Earrings”, ends. The book contains 73 figures and illustrations. It tells the stories of familiar Vietnamese heroes like the Trưng sisters, Lady Triệu, the Black Emperor and Ngô Quyền. It also discusses the beginning of Buddhism in Vietnam and the stories of Shi Xie’s clan. The stories of Linyi’s kings and how the bloodthirsty Fan Wen and his successors prevented the Northern Dynasties from going beyond the Ngang pass are also explained. The expansion of the Funan territory from southern Vietnam to the Malay Peninsula by Fan Shiman is included. The little-known Nanzhao-An Nam War is also told with some details. The battle of the Bạch Đằng river in 938, when Giao Châu (Vietnam) gained independence, is recounted. Like Volume I, many places associated with historical events are also described in the book, including the sanctuary of Mỹ Sơn and its donation by King Bhavavarman.Chapter 1 – A summary of this bookChapter 2 – Under the Han - Giao Châu IChapter 3 – Shi Xie and the beginning of Buddhism in Vietnam - Lady Triệu rebellion - Giao Châu IIChapter 4 – A forest town - the kingdom of Linyi and the Fans - A Generation of Raiders - Linyi IChapter 5 – One hundred years of raids and plunders (336 to 446) - Linyi IIChapter 6 – The end of Linyi - Linyi IIIChapter 7 – The inscriptions and the Varman’s - Linyi IVChapter 8 – The Roman medals and the Óc Eo culture - Funan/Zhenla IChapter 9 – The Kingdoms of Funan and Zhenla - Funan/Zhenla IIChapter 10 ̶ Pre-Angkor Inscriptions and three Khmer towers - Funan/Zhenla IIIChapter 11 – Ten thousand springs or Vạn Xuân (542-602) - Giao Châu IIIChapter 12 – The Black Emperor - The Great Father and Mother King or Bố Cái Đại Vương - Giao Châu IVChapter 13 – Surrounded by rivers - A city of Hanoi, a nation capital - Giao Châu VChapter 14 – The Nanzhao-An Nam war - Giao Châu VIChapter 15 – Prelude to independence - Giao Châu VIIChapter 16 – The Dawn of Independence - Giao Châu VIIIChapter 17 – ConclusionsAppendix 1 – Sources of Vietnamese history in the Chinese language used in this bookAppendix 2 – Sources of Vietnamese history by Vietnamese authors written before the 19th centuryAppendix 3 – Names in Pinyin Chinese, English, and VietnameseAppendix 4 – Polities under the Northern Rule periodAppendix 5 – Giao Chỉ (Jiaozhi), Giao Châu (Jiaozhou), Luy Lâu (Leilou) and Long Biên (Longbian)Appendix 6 – List of Governors, Prefects etc.Appendix 7 – In Search of ancient HanoiAppendix 8 – Ma Yuan’s expeditionsAppendix 9 – The Kings of LinyiAppendix 10 ̶ The Kings of Funan and ZhenlaAppendix 11 – The land that was LinyiAppendix 12 – Citadels of blood and goldAppendix 13 – An eyewitness account of the Nanzhao-An Nam warAppendix 14 – The population questionAppendix 15 – Of li, bu, chi, liang, and jinAppendix 16 – Museums in Southern VietnamBibliographyWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
