One wife, one has the right to sleep comfortably in a bed,
Two wives, one begins to sleep alone,
Three wives, one deserves sleeping in a pigpen.
The Viet as a race known since antiquity as a migratory, hunting people, perpetually moving and spreading beyond their frontiers of origin, carrying bow and arrow, axe and javelin.
The word Viet is the Vietnamese pronunciation of a Chinese character meaning beyond or far. It also has the sense of "to cross", "to go through", "to set onself right". The character Nam, meaning South, probably served to differentiate between the Viets in the North who remained in China and those who had left and headed South.
Since the earliest antiquity, the Indochinese peninsula has played a major role in international trade relations and migrations, forming the link between India and China, which explains the name Indochina, first coined by the Danish geographer, Konrad Malte-Burn (1775-1826) in his Universal Geographic. Vietnam's central and strategic geographical position in Southeast Asia is of great importance. It has been used in turn by the world's great powers, much to the detriment of the independence and freedom of the Vietnamese people. |
