Viet words and Viet civilization
Viet words and Viet civilization.
In the article ' About Vietnamese language' I have pointed out: There is no Sino-Vietnamese word, which means han Chinese word to translate to Vietnamese language for major ritual artifacts. The name of the ritual artifacts of Great Asian culture, come from Vietnamese original language or of Bach Viet (archaic Hoa-Viet) language. Tracing the artifacts of major archeological exhibits, found in emperors’ tombs, we see ritual entities that mark earliest technological invention (the ritual vessels,vehicle, paper...) are the things of important, we notice their names are Vietnamese. The findings give us many interesting surprises: It turns out that what Han Chinese proudly claims to be the owner of Asian civilization—are totally mistaken claims...
1-/ From the Stone, Clay to Bronze age.
Viet Hoa (Ancient Chinese) civilization encloses 3 sacred bronze things, called that because these are pillars of spiritual culture of Bach Viet—Ancient China.
Chung or bronze jarà bell
Dinh or bronze vessels
Cổ - ancient or bronze drum
In the history of civilized mankind, materials used to produce things is considered be a jump step, each time to change from lower to higher more complex composed materials (stone, clay, bronze, iron etc...). Today as the traditional official descendent culture-- just Hung Nation (Bach Viet) Viet people has the right to feel a proud legitimacy.... but even more important is how to restore the respectability of Hung’s forefathers...
The history of civilization is distinguished with ages: stone, bronze, iron, etc...
In latter ages, the material to fabricate and shape things, land the complexity of their styles, kinds are much more various, numerous. However according to the level of value—to the Eastern Civilization begins with the Bach Viet civilization, the most holly things are the above three bronze artifacts. They are often called by their original, primal names. In the following section, I will give some detail examples with some analyses.
a- Chung - chum
Chung means bell has original shape as a big vase, using for keeping water, grains.., Although it is still kept the old shape, it is put upside down and turns to a tool generating sound. To those who created them based on the primal image, it is called with the name Chum, was later installed the sound Chung, or Chuong 'bell'. Chinese Han reading is as 'Chung '. In short, the word for a bell Chung, was originated from Vietnamese word: Chum, an ordinary simple huge clay vase.
b –Vạc – vại
Vac is just a culinary instrument like a big pot, using in common daily life. But when used as celebrate instrument— for cooking king’s food, used in occasion of heaven, earth, ancestral worship, Vac has a new name: Dinh. Dinh is a special type of Vac using for preparing food serving ancestral and Heaven worship. Dinh becomes a symbolic for supreme power. According to tradition, the King who obtains 9 Dinh should become a king of the universe.
The word “vac” is only a approximate pronunciation of “vai”, another kind synonym of “chum”-- big vase, for keeping things. Vai is a profane word only of Hung nation.
Clay ‘Chum sành vại sành’ develop one more step to bronze drum and ddinh—vac ( A kind of Chum is made up from bronze) is a logical jump...The Han and Hoa later called ‘Chung’, the word vạc is kept old Vietnamese word Dinh, or Danh.
c- Cổ – cối
Chinese old book tells about how in old time the people of Lac Viet (One part of Bach Viet, and is Viet nam now, used drum: when there is some one die, the announcement is made by using drum as an acoustic instrument. In ethnography, is being told that the Lac Viet not to drum the tambourine but to grind or beat the bronze mortar (coi dong). The tradition to use mortar such as an instrument acoustical is special and unique to Viet people.)
Old people in some places in Vietnam nowadays still call The Sacred Traditional Bronze Drum as Copper Mortar. In the popular ancient language: the word Mortar ‘cối’, automatically turns to ‘cổ’, from shipping to current China, Vietnamese word mortar (coi) became ancient (co). And the sacred drum is old drum.
The words Chung, đỉnh or vạc and đồng cổ (ancient bronze drum), all have roots in Vietnamese vocabulary: concretely, the words: “chum đất” “vạị sành” and “cối đá”, all together tell that they are invention of Viet’s people. The reason is very simple and clear, is that all are popular primordial words, Vietnamese commonsense (Nôm) words.
2-/ Ấn chỉ
A^n means to print, to press down. The An, or noun, is a seal, that probably everybody already know. But few peoples know that this word ‘ấn’ and press manufacturing have been used for around 2000 years before Christ—An is Vietnamese word. Archeologists have found many seals which dated around 2000 years before Christ. This instrument is used for pressing into clay piece, before putting it in fire to create signs (dau an) and design on earth ware.
Differs from principle: from clay manufacture to bronze technique...here we see another principle: from verb, the noun is created: To “An” or the “An”, for example.
Viet archeologist called a type of ancient seal: “Seal Ha Long”. Afterward this creation is improved and universally applied in Ancient Hoa (Chinese Bach Viet) culture, which becomes an efficient instrument for the national management. From the Chu dynasty (one of the Hoa Viet 3 most brilliant ancient culture) the technology using An, printing, is used for higher and sacred purposes become thing of holiness: emperor's seal called' “country transmission Press”.
To create decorative figures on clay, on silk or on paper, techniques of carving or pressing create that reverse design on the seal. When it is pressed down there will leave reversible marks as one designed. Indeed, this techniques itself produce later on printing technology, letterpress is carved reversible counter on timber called wood-block (Moc ban). Afterward, it is filled with ink, and then being pressed down that silk or paper is designed with print figures, words. The names of this technique is called short is “an”== it reflects the principle of primitive action of printing.
It is from the root of the printing In, An==' Press, or the An –the seal==are Vietnamese, we can determine place of the origins of this technology. Viet culture or Bach Viet Hung culture is the place takes the first breath of printing art.
In engineering all listed inventions in this article, up to now, are still considered to be 1 originated and are revolution in areas of cultural information, created by the Chinese Han race. But deeply look at each invention, we see these are flaws.
Press, seal, paper, boat, transportation vehicles, bronze drum, all are words completely Vietnamese. Finally, the historians must look back to find out the truth: that the Hung Nation—Viet, is the author of the grandiose invention.
In the revolution of cultural information there still have 1 no less important event.... that paper manufacture is originated by Hung nation, specifically by one Vietnamese person, named Thai Luan. The manufacturing process is decortications of the rag together with fresh phloem make agglutinative components to make paper. It is enormous effective for civilization, for communications, etc... Clearly, here we can claim that paper is Vietnamese's invention: via language evidence, as following:
In Viet language the name second-hand old-established material has a name: gie?-- ' rag' as a main material and name following Gie the product: paper or Giay— the original sound of paper—giay is gie. Chinese man calls it with modified sound to Chi?
Giẻ → gỉ →chỉ ( Chinese Han and Bach Viet )
Giẻ→ gié→gió→ giấy ( Viet people name one type of paper ‘gió’ wind paper a special kind of paper which is very thin—light and transparent as air, win.
When 1 new product created draws his first breath where its possession denomination, surely it belongs to the nation having this language for those new product.
Like that, the same with printed- press; Paper also be the invention of Hung nation.
3 /- Xe thuyền.
Xe thuyền –Vehicle, facility transporting person or goods from one place elsewhere 1 on earth and another aquatic.
Sino-Vietnamese that read xe as xa: xa means faraway. The Chinese living in Quang dong (cantonese) also pronounce xe, che. There is a total similarity in pronouncing the word vehicle. If trace the origination word Xe, navigator, we can claim that the invention of vehicle is set out of the Vietnamese. Why?
Following is the explanation: Viet language has a verb: Xe^-- change object location. When an invention was made to mobilize 1 position to other places, people called it: ‘cái xê’—the moving means, to move, to transfer. Here serial verb xê→ has turn to serial nouns: xe - xa ; As said before the name itself if it has a primal root from a original language, it surely created by that people. If the name xe^ is Vietnamese created word, later become xe, in case xe^ and xe has same meaning, it sure is set originator of the Hung /Bach Viet
Similar to “xe”-- vehicle, the word Thuyen--canoe/ship also has Vietnamese origin. The word Chuyen in Vietnamese signifies the verb to carry a stuff to go elsewhere. Viet people usually use Chuyen couple with' ‘chở’ – Carry: Chuyen cho also reads as thuyen chuyen—to change places, or thuye^`n (navigation by canoe/ship). The word thuyen (canoe, boat, ship), or transporting (chuyen cho) have origins from Vietnamese root “chuyen”-- “convey”. There may be the name of one King in antiquity: Chuyen Huc, could be read as Xuyen Huc. Vietnamese words have such transformation. In this case, we have:
Chuyên→ thuyên→thuyền , the Quảng/southern Chinese language reads as Thoàn .
Chuyên→xuyên→xuông→xuồng .
Northern Vietnamese uses the word canoe “thuyen”, southern using letter ‘xuồng’, to indicate the same facility for floating movement. The word thuyen—canoe takes origins from the verb chuyên. The name thuyen or xuong, is enough for determining the birthplace of canoe is of Viet’s land.
In the past there has been time the land of Viet extremely wide, the intellect of Hung (Bach Viet) is heighten to the summit of the humanity, the Vietnamese precedents have made enormous contribution for human civilization.
Nowadays, Viet people are the kernel descendents of Hung line (Nation Bach Viet stream). The Vietnamese is entitled to be proud rightfully, but in the experience of boundless pride, it is even more important to put all effort to think of the way to restore the most essential respectable ideal and wisdom, the way that our forefathers made previously in far away age, almost 5000-10000 thousand years ago.
