Nguyễn Du
Nguyễn Du (; 3 January 1766 – 16 September 1820), courtesy name Tố Như () and art name Thanh Hiên (), is a celebrated Vietnamese poet and musician. He is most known for having written the epic poem ''The Tale of Kiều''. Biography Youth Nguyễn Du was born in a great wealthy family in 1765 in Bích Câu, Đông Kinh. His father, Nguyễn Nghiễm, was born in Tiên Điền village, Nghi Xuân, Hà Tĩnh, Vietnam. He was the seventh child of Nguyễn Nghiễm, a former prime minister under the Lê dynasty. By the age of 10, Du lost his father, and he also lost his mother at age 13, so for most of his teen years he lived with his brother Nguyễn Khản or with his brother-in-law Đoàn Nguyễn Tuấn.

History Of Vietnam
Vietnam, with its coastal strip, rugged mountainous interior, and two major deltas, became home to numerous cultures throughout history. Its strategic geographical position in Southeast Asia also made it a crossroads of trade and a focal point of conflict, contributing to its complex and eventful past. The first Ancient East Eurasian hunter-gatherers arrived at least 40,000 years ago. Around 4,000 years ago during the Neolithic period, Ancient Southern East Asian populations, particularly Austroasiatic and Austronesian peoples, began migrating from southern China into Southeast Asia, bringing with them rice-cultivation knowledge, languages, and much of the genetic basis of the modern population of Vietnam. In the first millennium BCE the Đông Sơn culture emerged, based on rice cultivation and focused on the indigenous chiefdoms of Văn Lang and Âu Lạc. Following the 111 BCE Han conquest of Nanyue, much of Vietnam came under Chinese dominance for a thousand years. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
