Time flied, and the children
grew up as strong and brave as their father,
and as kind-hearted and skillful as their mother.
They were taught how to fight against the evils
and trained to cultivate their lands. When they
were all grown-ups, Lac Long Quan and Au Co
thought it was high time of expanding and developing
the land much further.
With their original and family backgrounds,
Lac Long Quan and Au Co decided to divide themselves
into 2 groups with Au Co leading 50 of their
children to go to the highland and mountainous
areas, and Lac Long Quan leading the other 50
to the prairie and the marine areas. The children
of Lac Long Quan and Au Co later divided themselves
to spread out and settled in different areas
of the stretch of land and developed their own
group of people there, hunting, fishing, expanding,
and cultivating the lands.
These 100 children of Lac Long Quan and Au
Co are said to be the ancestors of all the Vietnamese,
and that’s why the Vietnamese usually
refer themselves as "the children and descendants
of the Dragon and the Fairy". All peoples
in Vietnam are said to be of the same origin
and they all always love and protect one another.
Today, Vietnam is a country with a history
and culture of more than 4,000 years old. The
country possesses uniquely deep and rich cultures
that irresistibly intrigues & fascinates
anyone who wants to know or learn more about
it, and Vietnamese people are known for their
great hospitality to always welcome others at
all times.
