Full Version: should we change Viet Nam to something else?

I read that after King Gia Long united the country, he went to the Chinese to ask to change the name of the country. He had the name Nam Viet in mind. However, the Chinese didn't like that because before there was a Viet kingdom like that that gave them a lot of trouble in the past. So they changed it to Viet Nam.

Now, I don't like the fact that the name of the country and people was dictated by somebody else. I even hate the fact that the name Viet Nam doesn't make sense. Nam Viet means the Viet people of the South. Viet Nam doesn't mean anything. It is grammatically incorrect.


I prefer the nam Dai Viet. Dai mean big. However, I don't know about that either because it is a Han-Viet word. Should be just refer to ourselves as Viet like the Thai? I prefer we assert our independce by getting rid of as much Chinese influence as possible.

Why should I be joking? The Chinese imposed the name on us. Like I said, the name Viet Nam doesn't make sense. It is grammatically incorrect.

Just read this

"On August 22, Bloc 8406 publicly declared its four-phase proposal for Vietnam's democratization, including demands for the restoration of civil liberties, the establishment of political parties, the drafting of a new constitution and, finally, democratic elections for a new representative National Assembly that would be charged with choosing a new national name, flag and anthem. "

I agreed!!!

It doesnt matter. History is history. VIETNAM is a good name. We can change it only when we become a super power.

But atm, Who the hell are gonna pay attention to Vietnam changing its name? Maybe they would forget that this country ever existed altogether.

And how many times do we have to go over this again? The Nam Viet kingdom was not a Vietnamese kingdom, but it was a Chinese kingdom established by a Chinese general who invaded the Vietnamese kingdom of Au Lac and incorporated its territory into its southern Chinese provinces to create a kingdom named "Nam Yue" or Nam Viet. Learn your history, get that fact straight.

I think you're a Khmer Krom because any Vietnamese can tell you that the name Viet Nam is grammatically correct because it follows Vietnamese grammatical rule while Nam Viet follows Chinese rule. I was about to let you think about why but I doubt you can figure it out so here it is: In Vietnamese, the adjective follows the noun. Next time you open your piehole, make sure you ask someone smarter than you to review what you're about to say, better yet, keep it shut so all the $hit in there doesn't get out.

why shouldn't it be Viet if the PEOPLE IN THAT COUNTRY WERE VIET PEOPLE? Only the ruler was from the North (not sure if he was a Han). Just look at English history. William the Conquerer from France (or Netherland?) conquered England and established rule over there. But the people there were still English. Have anyone ever called the kingdom of William the Conquerer a French kingdom (or a Dutch kingdom?)? Nope, it had always been and English kingdom.

also, I don't think Trieu Da did impose the northern customs upon the Viet customs, nor oppressed Viet people. He rather assimilated himself to the Viet customs and cultures. His children and grandchildren had Viet blood and one of the Trieu kings called him self Trieu Viet Vuong (not Trieu Han Vuong!).
When Hai Ba Trung hô hào khởi nghĩa, all 9 provinces of Nam Việt cùng khởi nghĩa against the Han emperor, so would you consider Nam Viet a Viet or a Han kingdom?

that's not an accurate comparison.

Vietnamese people were only a portion of that kingdom that was largely Yue people that align themselves with Chinese civiliation today.

those Yue consider theirselves chinese today or not, it doesn't matter. we r discussing about a kingdom that existed over 2000 years ago, and at that time there was no concept of Chinese and Vietnamese, there were just Han and Viet (or Yue).

also, chinese people consider theirselves Han, so they should not claim a Viet kingdom. it's like saying that they are what their ancestors called the southern barbarian.

Viet and Yue aren't the same or one. Viets from present day Vietnam were only one faction of the hundreds of Yue tribes.

The Cantonese are one Yue tribe or several that mixed with the Han after the years.

Don't let the spelling mess it up!

This character 越 is pronounced Viet in Vietnamese and Yue in Chinese. How do chinese call Vietnam today? They call it Yue Nam.
In Southern Viet dialect, Viet = Yiet. In Cantonese dialect, it Yuet. In Mandarin, it's Yue.

Cantonese is different. The character for Cantonese is 粤, which is different with the character in 100 Viet. 百越

"Yue" means South, which refers to the many tribes that inhabited the area south of the Han kingdom that had plans to slowly engulf and assimilate them.

The people in Vietnam today with their linguistic differences are only a part of the Bai Yue, not all of them.

The meaning of the word Viet (Yue) is still debated, u dont really know for sure what Viet means.

Let's say we are only part of the Yue (Viet) like u said (and I'm not talking about Bai Yue, I'm talking about Nam Viet specifically!!!). But part of the Yue (Viet) is still Yue (Viet), it's inside us, inside our blood.

Han people are NOT Yue. They don't have any right to claim a Yue (Viet) kingdom.

And let's ASSUME that Southern Chinese like Cantonese were part of Nam Viet, they too were only PART of Nam Viet just like Vietnamese. How come Cantonese have the right to claim Nam Viet and Vietnamese don't while both of us were part of it? Trieu Da, the ruler, was NEITHER Cantonese nor Vietnamese.

But, Cantonese have been assimilated and they are NO LONG Yue, they are Han now! Once they let go of their heritage, they should let go of whatever belongs to that heritage too.

Also, Cantonese is only PART of Chinese!!! Nam Viet may have belonged to Cantonese, but it did not belong to Mandarin-speakers, the majority of Chinese today.

Vietnamese did not let go of their heritage. They have always named their country Viet (or Yue)...Đại Việt, Đại Cồ Việt, Việt Nam...and they have always called theirselves Việt (Yue), not Hán! They deserve to claim Nam Việt.

It doesn't really matter really. As far as we know most Vietnamese were enslaved during that period. Due to lack of evidence and a load of assumptions, some Vietnamese like to claim Nanyue as a Viet state. It's just pathetic in my opinion.

Thục Phán chỉ là một huyền sử, nhưng Âu Việt và Lạc Việt sáp nhập tạo ra người Việt Nam bây giờ là có chứng minh khoa học. Thêm nữa, cái tên "Âu Lạc" là từ ghép của Âu Việt và Lạc Việt. C̣n Nam Việt là ngoại ban hay không vẫn là truyện tranh căi, nhưng tôi không biết tại sao người ở Việt Nam lại coi nó như một ngoại bang, c̣n một phần đông sột người Việt ở Hải Ngoại lại coi nó như là chánh bang của người Việt Nam hiện đại

Đồng ư. Không biết sao có số người VN ở Mỹ mang cái chứng ǵ mà cứ ưa đi nhận bà con với người Tàu. Hở xíu là cứ nhận những người Tàu sống ở phía nam nước Tàu là cũng cùng gốc tộc Việt này nọ. Lúc nào cũng muốn nhận người Tàu phía Nam xưa là Việt nhưng bị đồng hóa này nọ

Mấy thằng tàu nó đi nhận giặc (Mông Cổ, Măn) làm cha th́ kệ mẹ nó, người VN không bao giờ đi nhận giặc Triệu Đà làm cha cả. C̣n Thục Phán không phải là người Tàu từ Ba Thục qua đâu mây ông nội à, mà ông ta từ phía Tây Bắc trong ṿng biên giới VN qua đấy. Hai chữ "Thục Phán" có gốc gác hệ ngữ Nam Á đấy, chứ không phải Tàu đâu

Cái vụ người Tàu ở phương Nam là người Việt là do tụi tàu nó nhận đấy chứ các bác. Chính ông stephen ǵ đấy là người tàu cũng bảo cantonese là Việt. Tôi không chấp nhận nên mới viết là "assume" trong bài của tôi.
Kỳ thật tôi chỉ thấy không công bằng. Ngày xưa bảo người Việt là man di, bây giờ khi ngành khảo cổ t́m được những vật dụng chứng tỏ kĩ thuật tiên tiến của người Việt thời cổ, như trống đồng Đông Sơn, th́ bọn nó cả lũ nhảy vào bảo người Việt là chỉ người Nam Tàu, ko phải người Việt ở Việt Nam, c̣n muốn cướp cả trống đồng làm của nó nữa chứ.
Tôi nghĩ người Nam Việt là người Việt. C̣n bọn cantonese ở quảng đông có phải là người Việt hay không th́ mặc chúng nó. Chúng nó đă nói tiếng Tàu viết chữ Tàu rồi c̣n đâu. Tôi chỉ không đồng ư nước Nam Việt là một nước Tàu.

If you want to get back to basics and have real Viet culture.Just go back to 1920 and get rid of Jesuit (Alexander Rhodes)influence(Roman Catholic) and remove romanised script and start using Nom.Which country in the world had to have a foreign religous order to invent their written form and dictionary for them?
At least Chinese influence like Moon Cakes and Tet (Lunar New Year) is Asian and close to home.True there is maybe too much influence of Chines culture , but look at the size of China.It is still better than being influence by the Thai and Indo cuture like Khmer.As long as you pick the best(e.g.Confucis) and leave the worst.

Throughout Vietnam's history the name that is most popular for the country was "Dai Viet" (Great Viet). From the Dinh dynasty (968) to Minh Mang (1832) the name was Dai Viet, although with some variations in between (Dai Co Viet, Dai Ngu). If the people of Vietnam ever decides to change the current name it should be change to Dai Viet to reflect the heritage and history around this time period. The current name of Vietnam was originally fashioned by the Chinese but originally given (Nam Viet) by Gia Long who came to power in 1802. The purpose of the name Vietnam was to link the country to the ancient Nam Viet kingdom of the Trieu dynasty. However, whether it has ties or not the arguement could go on and on and on until the end of time as many discussion forums have demonstrated and continue to do so.
