What was the relationship between ancient Vietnam and China?

What was the relationship between ancient Vietnam and China? Among the countries bordering China, Viet Nam is undoubtedly one of the most important. In the history of Vietnam, the first country, Wenlang State (later renamed Luoou State), was founded in the Bronze Age. Regarding the establishment of Luo 'ou State, one view is that it was established by immigrants from ancient Shu before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Another view is that after being destroyed by Chu at the end of the Warring States period, Vietnam was divided into many small countries, and one of them went south to Vietnam today and established a country.

In 22 1 year BC, Qin Shihuang divided the six eastern countries and established a unified Qin dynasty. Soon, Qin Shihuang conquered hundreds of places in the south and successfully surrendered to the people in Lingnan area, including parts of Vietnam during the Qin Dynasty.

But at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty lost control of Lingnan area. In BC 1 13, South Vietnam openly rebelled and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops for an expedition. In BC11/year, South Vietnam was defeated and nine counties were established in its territory. Since then, Vietnamese counties have been included in the Chinese territory and placed in.

Of course, because ancient Vietnam was far away from the Central Plains dynasty, the court's control over it was relatively weak, especially during the war in the Central Plains, ancient Vietnam often took the opportunity to become independent. For example, in the late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms period, ancient Vietnam took advantage of the chaos to break away from China's direct rule and become independent.

However, after the Song Dynasty unified the Central Plains, the "Yue State" paid tribute to the Song Dynasty and became a vassal state of the Song Dynasty. In nature, there are essential differences between vassal countries and counties under the rule of successive dynasties, including Annan Daofu in the Tang Dynasty. That is, since the Song Dynasty, the ancient Yue State has become an independent subject, and like Korea, Ryukyu and other vassal States, it can obtain China's asylum by paying tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty on time.

In the Yuan Dynasty, Annan, like Japan, successfully resisted the invasion of the Yuan Army. Of course, the Japanese took advantage of the ocean and islands, while the Annan people took advantage of the tropical rain forest climate in Vietnam, which greatly restricted the combat capability of Mongolian soldiers. When Zhu established the Ming Dynasty, Annan's regional dynasty was the "Chen Dynasty", which was originally a tribute to the Ming Dynasty as usual.

However, the rule of Chen Dynasty in Annan was turbulent, and the Ming Dynasty sent troops to suppress the turbulent forces in Annan area. Because the original ruler was scattered, the Ming dynasty wanted to cancel Annan's status as a vassal state. After fierce struggle, Li Li, the hero in Annan's eyes, rose up and defeated the Ming army.

Finally, during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the name of Annan, the vassal country, was changed, that is, "Vietnam". /kloc-In the late 20th century, France colonized Vietnam, and the Qing Dynasty sent troops to resist. 1885, the Qing government signed the Sino-French New Testament with France and was forced to recognize Vietnam's independence. Since then, Vietnam has been completely independent from the territory of China, and
