.Thuỷ kinh lịch sử chú and concluding remarks 'thuỷ kinh lịch sử chú' ((((names of rivers were determined by history of Bach Viet--Ancient Hoa/Viet. And itself determines historical domains. For example Chau river (or Tu*' river as the river on the west: Tu* means number four, the number of west side in Dich ly)— the location of this river helps to determine the territory of the Chu dynasty: in West China: Quang Tay...)))
Water is an ultimate material needed for life, until reaching modern advance technology and science to afford many choices, in the past, constructing place of living along the water source: river, lake, ocean, is so crucial. Rivers supply water, created life. River is a circulation way. It can be compared to blood vessels of a human body. The evolution of the country-- our nation—Hung Viet-- Ancient Hoa, linked to water network, which make further importance:
In the depth unconsciousness of Viet people, the natural elements such as mountain, river are sacred, not mere objects. The river in Viet culture is the first sacred element to mark the significant function of a domain: place, region, historical dynasties. As location are chosen not arbitrary but as a symbol of the Order Beyond, the rivers especially are representation of each domain according to the Dich (notable Ha thu, Lac Do)..
Mountain is also sacred in the mind of Viet people. Therefore they named the core of its country: Ngu Linh--5 mountains (the number five is a special number) is a symbol for the national center.
Through out the study of Hung’s Viet history, civilization and Law of change, the author comes up to some conclusive remarks, with a symbolic name: the Thuỷ kinh lịch sử chú: which means the names of Rivers/Mountains historical marks history of the Nation
1- Mountain Đọ, a sacred place for ancestor’s worship:
Hung nation was first established with the fifth Hung Dynasty—King Hung Vu’s government.
Number five is a number of the center of Ha thu and Lac do (Pre and latter bagua—Tien thien hau thien bat quai). It is the core that control all six realms (tangible and beyond intangible forces). The greatness in mission makes up the word: Vua, or Vu Vuong (king).
From this remark up to the beginning, man is Nhan (individual) and not yet bears the meaning dan (sociality: people). From the time of King Hung Vu, organizing to country, nation begins.
As explained in I Ching Bat quai, the hexagram: “Sunder on Earth -- Loi Dia du” explain the national ceremony. This tradition occurs since archaic time –in the dawn of Viet: our ancestor: Bản cả-Tựu nhân, King Sao Vu Vong, up to 4 Great Great-grandfathers, each of one of the 4 world corners. What is the ceremony about: each year on the spring time, the King represents the whole nation, to open ceremony in order to worship Heaven, and Ancestor, at the mountain THAI SON, in the beginning of history, Thai son core is indeed the Ddo Mountain in middle part of Vietnam today.
2. River “Cả”; is the river marks the sign of King Hùng Vũ, a fifth Hung’s king. The word ca? means first. First here is the first established dynasty of Hung Nation. The place of this river gives a landmark: both spatial and temporal: sacred place and time forever tell who is Hung Nation.
3 . River Chu or cha (chu cha is a word: Oh my father!_ River Chu or Cha mark a symbol for King De Nghi. River Chu is situated toward the sun set, is the image of the King Nghi—De Nghi, which is named Duong Nghieu De .
4 . River Ma or Me, mother. It is the symbol for King of the Southern part of Hung Nation. King of the South is King Duong Vuong, or “King Thuan” (Thuấn đế). The poem Nam phục nhất Đường Ngu—Viet a country of the South’s most famous dynasties King Nghi (Ngu) and King Duong (Duong). The poem is fit perfectly!
The three above rivers are symbols of three most powerful Kingdoms, representing the dawn of our Viet Nation. The three Rivers’ location is everlasting sacred place of our Hung’s children generations to come.
The meanings are:
Father—river Chu, mother, river Ma, give birth to and raise their children: Mountain Đọ- Thái Sơn is a symbol of the spirit that links Heaven and Earth. This also a respect pays to Heaven and Ancestor at the place of meeting of Earth and Sea. At that place, the descendents can imagine the ancestor Hung Duong—Our Oriental grandfather’s shades flashing in the mist when the sunrise just go up, out of the skyline horizon.
5 River Đà or Đan thủy is a river which bears a sign of King Hùng Việt .
It is a place which the lineage Lộc Tục was born. Loctuc is the descendent of the King Hien Vuong and daughter of the Lady Vu Tien, where King Đại Vũ have to sweat and brainstorm the way to overcome flooding natural disasters, to create the homeland for posterity-- thousand generations; this land is also the center of the millions of Vietnamese Hung Viet Vuong - Lineage Tuan Lang.
The land of royal dynasty Ha., Vietnamese history called: land of Thao, or Dao, the historical archeological excavation which is named Culture of Phung Nguyen.
Through the exhibits found which has certain technical traits, it is known that the addresses or allocation of Phung Nguyen culture is very broad, soreading from the ethnic minority in the North up to the TU river today.
7 . Duong Tu or River Thuong –rivers of Dynasty Viet Thuong Thi
River Thuong, or Duong, or Dang, is a core of Viet dynasty in the time of Long Tien Lang, Thanh Thang. Ho nam becomes the core Ngu Linh / the central land of Viet nation. It is also a mark of an age of Viet surpassing Hoang Ha river, to the North of current Southern China, establishes Dynasty An –Thuong. It is the culture Quy Tang Dich: the book of I Ching written on the Turtle shell. Dynasty An Thuong is an age called transformation age in which the intellectual spirit and mind activities is uptake to increase the national level in new high rank of civilization.
8 . The river Hoàng Hà – and river Vỹ is river of King Tần thủy hoàng
Vỹ means a tail, symbols of southernmost tail (according to dich ly (I ching), the direction north south is reverse). Hung Viet or Hoa, in the age of An Thuong, the land of An Thuong is a reverse meaning of Dao ablaut of front (Dau—head) If land Dao is the northern tail (north in ancient Dich (I Ching) is south).
Tần Thủy Hoàng names Hoang Ha river as Đức Thủy, the highness ethics of the King: or holly river or King River (Đế Thủy) – De = king, thuy = kham= water. The Tan Thuy Hoang’s dynasty is one of four big dynasties of Viet—Hoa, which has three others South, East, West: Ha, Thuong Chu. Each dynasty is represented by one sacred river. This time, symbol for North is Thuy? = Water gua. De thuy river—King North river is the meaning of river Hoang ha. This is an err to explain with other meanings as conventional Chinese history used to explain: golden river, or the river that have yellow color . Another possible explanation for river Vy. Vy in Viet language also means big, great. Vi river also means big river and not Vi. Thuy as nowadays people called this river. Vi Thuy also has a name To Lich in current Vietnamese language.
The process of history in the time of King Tru, was surely cruel with uninterrupted fights, for the inshore land along Hoang Ha is the hub of Ha’n Lieu Lu people. The unending warfare between Hoa and Han races continue for more than 2000 years, with the prevail of Han over Hoa Viet, ended in the modern time: China today, a country with Han domination over Hoa—Viet.
9 . Chu Giang – River Tứ : a departure place of Van Vuong .
Country Văn Lang, the primordial native land of Chu dynasty, which occupies the land of top and middle course of this river; Tây Âu Lạc is also this place. Two lineages of Fire and Water Lửa and Lạc (two opposite gua in the I ching bagua) of Hiền Vương – Hiên Viên together incorporate on this region.
When Chu Vũ Vương took a thrown, becomes a king of Viet Hoa, this land becomes a sould of China, the kingdom land. The Ngũ Kinh – the most important treatese of Viet civilization has been summarized and written here. With a thickness from history,
from time Hùng Vương (King Hungs) built the country, not thousand of years is inadequate, it should be replaced by millennium of years of Viet civilization, if count from the time of Thần Nông Viêm Đế, the first generation of Hung Kings.
10 . River Hán Thủy : the correct name would be Hưng thủy, symbolizing the mission of Lý Bôn – Lưu Bang .
*****
The Hiếu and Đường dynasties in the age of middle age, is valued as the two representing emperors of Trung Hoa.
Following the Hiếu dynasty, the terrible painful epochs for descendents of Hung Vuong kingdoms, Viet Hoa people. In the dynasty of Vương Mãng, when the country has reached the pole, the reverse should start, and only a group of barbarian lục lâm thảo khấu enough force to demolish a whole monumental edifice of millennium years of construction==the ancient Chinese: Viet nation.
18 Hung dynasties’ termination simultaneously open the miserable history for Viet people.
Deducting 60 years independent recovery during Lưỡng triều age, people of Viet Hoa continuously live a slavery exploited life, by the Han race. Another word, as said in Vietnamese word: lam than trau ngua, to live like buffalo and horse, as animal, serving bad people --the invasive Han group, for nearly 500 years. Started from age of Canh Thuy Luu Manh established the dynasties called Han Chinese. Exactly the dark age started from year 23 a.d. until 557 a.d, when Hoang Dinh - Vu Van Giac restore the Chu dynasty. About these painful days, we can witness how Viet people called the Han Chinese, the cause of our pain.
.
We can select in written Viet language a whole set, bage of very enemy words to point people attitude to the Han “kha han”.
- The barbarian age – Lục Lâm Thảo Khấu:
+ Tây Western Han King Han is called by Viet people: Lưu manh --the Hoodlum (du con, luu manh) (Lưu Huyền is his original name).
+ Eastern Han king Lưu Tú is modified to Lu tối : Devil Darkness.
- Thời giặc giả –The invader time:
+ Ngụy quốc of king Han Nguy Tao Thao is called Tào Lao (pseudo, tattle).
- The age of hoodlum
+Tấn quốc of the Western animal: Horse Tây Mã
Kim Mãn-- one of major member of Han dynasties: –caused so many pain for people Viet Hoa, therefore the word Kim is modified into many bad words, for example: kim is converted to Căm Căm thù, Căm giận, Căm hận, Căm tức, Căm hờn , oán Căm V.v… which means: hate, spite, waxy, resentment against, grudge against..etc..The same for Tartar one part Hung No one part of Han’s precedents: Tartar is converted to ác từ Tức bực, Tức giận, Tức tối (angry, against).. nhưng không dân nào “được” khắc sâu trong lòng dân Việt – Hoa như người Hung vua Hãn với hàng loạt từ : Hung Hãn , Hung ác, Hung dữ, Hung tàn, Hung tợn, Hung hiểm V.v…
In the consciousness of Viet people the word Hoa is not animus. The dynasties in Viet monarchy, always make the thanh hien Trung hoa as mirror for people to look up to learn their ethical qualities.
Reading verse of Dr Phạm Sư Mạnh, who wrote.. in the 14th century, we know that the history has been distorted since the 3 consecutive dynasties: of King Man Thanh, Khang Hy and Ung Long, in which Can Long king is the most dangerous to Viet---with all means to homogenize to convert Viet Hoa into Han. In order to accomplish their dark dangerous plan, they continuously destroy Viet Hoa culture, archaological proves, literature, and especially the ritual sacred landscape: Mountain, River especially, and the Bronze Drum—symbols for ANCIENT ANCESTRAL ORDER, they order to burn all Bronze drum with the purpose to kill the lineage transmition, handed down spiritual sacred energy… thinking by the interruption of that intangible flowing power—Viet (Hoa ancient) will be completely destructed.
The eye of people see things very clear, nothing can be covered under great sun….
