From before BC, the ancient Vietnamese had their own territory and social organizations, a primitive state and collective memory. However, the road to becoming a nation of this community is a way too arduous. Not only the territory was annexed, the social organization was destroyed, the early state was annihilated, but the collective memory was divided, destroyed and became fragmented and disabled. During the thousand years of Northern domination, the history of the ancient Vietnamese community is only recorded by Chinese historians, but for many reasons those records are also very flawed and superficial. It is therefore no wonder that after gaining independence in the 10th century, despite many efforts, the feudal Vietnamese government and intellectuals still could not build a credible Vietnamese history in Northern colonial period. The book "Vietnamese History through Chinese History" introduces notes related to Vietnamese history in four history books belonging to the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
