History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
Many people may not know the ancient country of South Vietnam, but some friends who are familiar with history should know it if they mention the "South Cantonese Country".
The ancient kingdom of Nanyue was historically a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. On the surface, it looks bright and beautiful, with its own rights and a place of belonging, and the small country is harmonious and beautiful.
But in fact, the vassal state only sounds good and retains its own rights, but in all aspects of politics, economy and other aspects are subordinate to a separate country, and the real right to choose is in the hands of the monarch of another country.
Simply and crudely speaking, it is like a vassal state or "semi-colony" of an individual country. Not so nice, but it's true.
"Vassal State"
In the long history of China, since the Western Han Dynasty, there has been a history of "vassal states". The attitude and policy of each Dynasty of China towards the vassal states were to achieve the goal of co-opting some peoples and countries to their own in a gentle manner and not a certain political means that were not tough.
In the long history of China, the ancient state of South Vietnam that we are talking about now is nothing more than a national power sandwiched between the two dynasties of the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty.
The ancient kingdom of South Vietnam was when the Qin general Zhao Tuo took advantage of the war chaos of Liu Bang Xiangyu to fight for the world, and Zhao Tuo "competed with the clams for fishing and profit", this is a great opportunity for war and chaos, why don't I call himself king? So under sufficient conditions, it was easy to establish its own kingdom, the ancient kingdom of South Vietnam. The area of the ancient country of South Vietnam includes the land of Lingnan, and the capital is set at Guangzhou.
Zhao Tuo established this ancient state of South Vietnam and called himself "King Wu of South Vietnam" in the Lingnan region for 93 years.
Later, because Lü Jia, the minister of the ancient kingdom of Nanyue, was not satisfied with the fact that the ancient kingdom of South Vietnam had always been a "vassal state", his ambitions prompted him to want to give it a go, so Lü Jia killed Zhao Xing, the king of Nanyue who was willing to submit to the Han Dynasty, and wanted to fight with the Han Dynasty for the "freedom" of the ancient state of South Vietnam.
Emperor Wu of Han was furious when he heard this news, and immediately ordered an army to suppress Lü Jia's disciples and attack the ancient kingdom of South Vietnam. How did the small ancient kingdom of South Vietnam compete with the vast army of Emperor Wu of Han? In the end, Lü Jia failed and was immediately captured when he tried to escape. Since then, the ancient kingdom of South Vietnam has completely perished.
The history is too long, and in a long time, when a country is established, the country dies, and there is a change of dynasty and there is a change in the system.
Traces of the ancient country
When the ancient kingdom of South Vietnam fell, the city was burned down and disappeared by a single fire. There are also very few historical descriptions of the ancient kingdom of South Vietnam, such a small country that once existed for nearly a hundred years, in the end it was wiped out by the Han Dynasty, whether it is the country's architecture or the country's cultural history, they have disappeared with the demise of the ancient country of South Vietnam.
This greatly increases the difficulty for modern historians to improve the exploration of ancient history. For these small countries that have no record after their demise, the only way to explore the mysteries is to discover the ruins.
By chance, a construction team in Guangdong dug a large hole that could not see the bottom during construction. After the exploration of relevant historians, with the continuous work and discovery of archaeologists, experts are excited - the traces of the ancient country of South Vietnam have finally been found!
On that day, on a construction site in Guangdong, the construction team workers were blocking the machine at a certain depth while laying the foundation in one of the fields. The workers took a closer look, and what was blocking the machine was a large smooth and hard stone slab. In order not to affect the progress of the project, the workers used machines to move this large hard and thick stone slab to another place.
This is not enough! The workers dug out an invisible "abyss" under the large stone slabs removed, like a mysterious black hole. Such a change made it impossible for the construction team to continue construction, so they had to stop working and report the mysterious black hole to the government. Many construction workers were astonished and talked about how this bottomless black hole was likely to be the tomb of an ancient emperor.
This is not the first "ancient tomb" to be excavated, and everyone probably has a little bit of counting in their hearts. The person in charge of the construction site understood the importance of this matter and immediately reported it urgently to the staff who contacted the archaeological team.
Archaeology-related staff, various experts heard the news, the first thing to see is the big stone slab, see the big stone slab, everyone is happy, almost! See the live situation and briefly investigate, many archaeologists and archaeologists are very excited, this is the only few brief records in history of the destruction and disappearance of the ancient country of South Vietnam! This is a great reward for the exploration of Chinese history!
The legendary ancient country of South Vietnam "saw the light of day", after professional investigation and further confirmation by archaeologists, this ancient tomb is indeed the ancient tomb of the ancient country of South Vietnam. Archaeologists have joined the archaeological team, and the archaeological team has found a large number of funerary items in the ancient tombs of this ancient country of South Vietnam.
Under the careful appraisal of experts, most of the cultural relics of these ancient countries in South Vietnam are not much different from the cultural relics excavated by the Han Dynasty, and only by carefully pondering and carefully observing can we see the special features of the cultural relics of this batch of ancient South Vietnamese countries compared with the cultural relics of the Han Dynasty. These special features are the best proof that the ancient state of South Vietnam, as a "vassal state", existed in the gap between the history of the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty!
Zhao Tuo, the founder of the ancient kingdom
We say that Zhao Tuo is "the sandpiper and the clam compete for the fish to gain profits", but in fact, this is not entirely the case. Zhao Tuo's establishment of the ancient kingdom of South Vietnam was also a painstaking thought.
At that time, under the chaotic situation of war in the world, Zhao Tuo wanted to establish an ancient state of South Vietnam in Lingnan. But why did Zhao Tuo, who had no roots, make the local residents submit to him? The difficulty of creating a country is not only the dissatisfaction of the locals, but also the conflict with the residents of the Central Plains.
So what to do? How to solve the collision contradiction between cultures?
Zhao Tuo thought of many ways to alleviate the contradictions with the local residents and tried to practice them. He also befriended the Vietnamese chieftains and allowed them to participate in the administration and operation of the country. In terms of cultural differences, it is even more necessary to find ways to ease and integrate. Under the guidance of some exploration and efforts, Zhao Tuo successfully established the ancient kingdom of South Vietnam.
It is difficult to build a country, and it is even more difficult to govern it well.
However, from the perspective of the ways and methods in which Jianguo handled all problems, Zhao Tuo's ability was beyond doubt. During the reign of Zhao Tuo in governing the ancient kingdom of South Vietnam, the people of the ancient country of South Vietnam lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the economic level developed rapidly.
"When the mutton is fat, the wolf will naturally smell it", and the good state of all this is one of the important reasons why Liu Bang wanted to subdue the small country of the ancient country of South Vietnam when he unified the world in the later period.
In the face of Liu Bang's recovery, Zhao Tuo believed that there were not only great powers to ensure security, but also many benefits. Thus it became a "vassal state".
Later, due to Lü Hou's insistence on embarrassment and Zhao Tuo's unwillingness to show weakness, the ancient kingdom of South Vietnam began a war. Later, Lü Jia killed Zhao Xing, who was reigning at the time, and wanted to attack the Han Dynasty; the country was destroyed. And the people of the ancient kingdom of South Vietnam were also recovered to the Han Dynasty.
The discovery of this ancient tomb in South Vietnam not only fills the gap in China's history for the ancient country of South Vietnam, but also enriches the corner of Chinese culture. Every state that exists has its own unique significance for historical development and should not be ignored.
