The book “Hung King Era” (History, Economy , Politics, Culture, Society) has just been released, is an elaborate research work, gathering multi-dimensional analysis of the first stage of national history. The book delves into the research of the model of early state organization in the Van Lang - Au Lac period, the economic life of wet rice agriculture, and the customs and practices that formed the ancient Vietnamese culture. In particular, the authors also place the Hung King era in the historical context of Southeast Asia, clarifying the position and role of the Van Lang nation in the development process of the region.

“The Hung King Era” consists of 5 parts: “Van Lang Country: Borders, Country Name and Population”, “Economic Status”, “Social and Political Institutions”, “Cultural Life”, “The Au Lac Country of An Duong Vuong or the End of the Hung King Era”.

The research results in this book not only help to recreate the appearance of the Hung King era in a realistic way but also affirm the continuity and longevity of Vietnamese culture from the beginning to the present. This is a valuable document to understand more deeply about the origin of the nation, thereby strengthening the pride and sense of responsibility in preserving Vietnamese cultural identity.

If “The Hung King Era” takes readers back to the early period, where the Lac Viet people built the first foundation of the Van Lang nation, “The Hung King Worship in Vietnam” explains why the custom of worshipping the Hung Kings is not only a tradition but also a cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO.

Prof. Dr. Ta Ngoc Tan said that the book "Hung King Worship in Vietnam" was made to contribute to spreading the Hung King Worship to international friends; to further evaluate the Hung King Temple relics nationwide to have a plan to restore and embellish the worship places to be solemn and worthy; to collect and standardize the historical records and rituals of Hung King worship to create unity throughout the country; to develop solutions to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of humanity.

The two books are not only scientific documents but also have the meaning of connecting the past with the present, inspiring patriotism to today's and future generations.
