The nation's eternal spiritual and cultural values ​​through two research works on the Hung King era

The book "Hung King Era (History, Economy, Politics, Culture, Society)" and "Hung King Worship in Vietnam"

The Hung King era is an important period in history, because this is the era of the beginning of the nation's founding, forming cultural values ​​that then became the basic premises in the development process of the Vietnamese nation. Therefore, the study of the Hung King era has achieved many achievements, with many published works, contributing to clarifying the initial period of national history.

In order to provide more information about the origin of the Vietnamese people, thereby fostering the spirit of pride in the history of building and defending the country for thousands of years of the Vietnamese ethnic community, further strengthening the spiritual foundation for today's generations of Vietnamese people to be more steadfast in entering the new era - the era of national growth, the National Political Publishing House Truth publishes the book " The Hung King Era (History, Economy, Politics, Culture, Society) " compiled by the authors: Van Tan, Nguyen Linh, Le Van Lan, Nguyen Dong Chi, Hoang Hung.

The book consists of 5 parts with an introduction and conclusion. Part 1: "Van Lang Country: Borders, Country Name and Population", Part 2: "Economic Status", Part 3: "Social and Political Institutions", Part 4: "Cultural Life", Part 5: "The Au Lac Country of An Duong Vuong or the End of the Hung Vuong Era".

The book is a meticulous research work, gathering multi-dimensional analysis of the first stage of national history. The book delves into the study 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 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 for those who want 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 (History, Economy, Politics, Culture, Society) takes readers back to the early period, where the Lac Viet people built the first foundation of the Van Lang nation, then " The Hung King Worship in Vietnam " edited by Prof. Dr. Ta Ngoc Tan and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vu Trong Lam explains why the custom of worshiping the Hung Kings is not only a tradition but also a cultural heritage recognized by UNESCO.

The book consists of two parts: "History and significance of Hung King worship in Vietnam", "Preserving and promoting the value of Hung King worship today".

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 articles in the book focus on clarifying the history of formation and significance of Hung King Worship in Vietnam through the treasure trove of Han Nom heritage, ancient documents and research results of archaeology; the existence of Hung King Worship in the consciousness of Vietnamese people and ethnic minorities in many regions of the country and of the Vietnamese community abroad. At the same time, it affirms the role of Hung King Worship in forming cultural identity, building Vietnamese people and in the strategy of great national unity for the goal of building and developing the country today.

In addition, the book also focuses on the issue of continuing to preserve and promote the values ​​of the Hung Kings Worship Belief as a World Cultural Heritage, the changes in the Hung Temple Festival in Vietnam, the exploitation of relics and the Hung Temple Festival in current sustainable tourism activities and the issues raised for state management of religious activities and the preservation of human cultural heritage. Each article shows the authors' dedication and respect for the National Ancestor and the National Festival of the nation.

The two books are not simply scientific documents but also carry a great mission: connecting the past with the present, inspiring patriotism in today's and future generations. Reading these pages, every Vietnamese person will understand and love the history of the nation more, and at the same time be more aware of the responsibility to preserve and promote precious traditional values. On the occasion of the Hung Kings' Commemoration Day, let's look back at history to be more proud of a resilient nation, rich in identity and always steadfast in the face of all challenges.
