Mr Alex Giang gives an introduction to the archaeology of Vietnam at next week’s Archaeology and Art History Lectures hosted by the Temasek History Research Centre on 17 November 2021, 10 am Singapore time.
After regaining independence from China in the 10th century, Đại Việt became a powerful kingdom in Southeast Asia and considered itself a Smaller Dragon in the South. This talk introduces Đại Việt civilisation during its heyday in the Ly, Tran, Hồ, and Lê sơ dynasties (10th-16th centuries) based on recent archaeological advancement. I will introduce the Đại Việt State through the Đại Việt’s Imperial Capitals, the Thăng Long citadel (present-day in Hanoi), the Hồ Citadel (Thanh Hóa province), and the royal architectural system from the Ly, Tran, Ho, and Le dynasties. I will also cover the influence and imprint of Buddhism and Confucianism on Đại Việt society as seen from historical and archaeological documents, and finally the production and exportation of Đại Việt’s ceramics in the 11th-16th centuries.
