For centuries, even up to present day, most historians believed that Vietnam was a country that found its origins in China, and that Vietnamese civilization was rooted in Chinese civilization. This however, is a false allegation. Vietnamese civilization preceeded Chinese civilization. The Lac Viet (ancient Vietnamese) were agricultural people with their own civilization and culture while the Chinese at the time were nomadic tribes who lived by hunting and raiding. The nomadic tribes simply invaded the agricultural people, captured the culture of these people and claimed it as their own. At the same time, the conquerers also tried to eradicate the Lac Viet, killing and erasing the old histories of the agricultural people in order to maintain their control. It is for this reason that Vietnamese history has been so fragmented and rare, and why some sections of Chinese history contain so many loop holes and are widely debated among scholars.
The thousand year teachings of the great Kong-tzu (Confucius) actually came from the Lac Viet (ancient Vietnamese) nation, and that Confucius actually used the teachings of the Viet people to educate the Chinese people. Lac Viet was the first civilization of East Asia, independent from China, and older than China.
How revolutionary these findings are is yet to be determined. For over a thousand years, the belief was that Vietnam was the offspring of China. This however, has proven to be false. It was actually the Viet people who gave birth to Chinese civilization. Whether individuals decide to embrace or reject this discovery, they must respect it. The facts exist and cannot be erased, not this time.

Vietnam, during this time, was already an established nation by the name of Lạc Việt (Luo Yue in Chinese). The nation of Lạc Việt had its own civilization, culture, and literature independent from that of China. Existing 4000 years before the Zhou Dynasty, the antiquity of the Vietnamese people has clearly been proven. It was from Lạc Việt that Confucius discovered the teachings of morality and compassion, it was here that the teachings known as Confucianism was rooted from. Confucius used teachings of Lạc Việt to educate the Chinese people, not the other way around. This fact can be verified in Confucius’ own literary works: Shi Ji (Classics of Poetry) and Chun Qiu Jing (Spring and Autumn Annals). Using Vietnamese folk-songs and poetry (known as Zhou Nan and Zhao Nan in Chinese), the people of Zhou learned to become a civilized nation.
The civilization of Lạc Việt, even before the arrival of the nomadic tribes, had already established calender-making, astronomy, chop-sticks, rice-cultivation, and writing characters.
