hah TV show, it's ok, pretty sucky in martial, and bad scenery, typical sucky TV show, but in some way i like it.


Is this even a chinese character??? I have never seen this character before...

if this a vietnamese show r is it a chinese show dubbed in vietnamese?..sorry if this is a stupid question..lol...hmm it kinda loks boring..no offense or anything lol

It's a viet show, the show is based on one of the famous vietnamese literature ...

It looks interesting, where can i get it or see it?

yea
do you have a site where i can watch all the episodes for this show... it looks very interesting.. well to me, cuz im into viet history.

if i can recall correctly, this is a vietnamese character during the hung vuong era, i could be wrong

No it's not.. they are from the early Nguyen dynasty.. Luc Van Tien is a famous story-epic poem

where can i find it?

Luc Van Tien is 100% Vietnamese. I can't remember who wrote it though, possibly Nguyen Du.

how can we see this show... anyone know..!!???

LOL no.. i don't think so unfortunately, because it's on vietnam channel on sunday... they haven't uploaded it yet..

The character in the background is probably Chu Nom

it's gibberish, because two of them are not even chinese radical

Yeah the left one seems odd to me.

That sucks men if it's gibberish.. it's not like Saigon has no chinese or Vietnamese that knows Chu nho anh chunom..

About all of vietnams buddhist people know chu nho, or nom.

Whoa! I gotta see this movie! Any help would be appreciated.

this is weird. How come the guys dont have a long knotted hair..?

Luc Van Tien was a Vietnamese creation and Vietnamese did not adopt the pig-tail from China under the Manchus.

i know that, i meant all vietnamese had long hair, and they tied it as a knot on top of their head.. YOU NEVER KNEW THAT.. we just started having short hair for like 100-200 years.. before that we all had long hair, it was a tradition, people who cut their hair short back then was an outcast.

HAHA i also seen how our underwears look back then,, it looks like sumo wrestlers.. and on tet the kids actually wrestle like sumo wrestlers lol, i saw a few pics along time ago, forgot where!!,...damn!!

Luc Van Tien is written by Nguyen Dinh Chieu, a blind poet who lived in southern part of Vietnam in the second half of the nineteen-century. He have witnessed the French colonization of Indochina. Most of his poems propagated Vietnamese patriots the love for Vietnam and hatred of the French colonialists. Some of his poems I've found:

The living are fighting,
The dead are fighting,
The souls of the killed are in battle array.
No, the people will never surrender!
The day of reckoning will come.

And:

As the old saying goes
Turning away from those
Who needed help most
Is not what a hero does

the guy in blue looks coolest..

you mean the tied their hair in a bun. Their hair are covered by the top thingy

the hat covers the top of hair, all you can see are the sideburns, and yes vietnam never adopted the half bald headed looks from the stinky manchus

Only some people covered it, but i saw a lot of people back then who wear the hat thingy on top and the bun is showing either in the back of the head or on top... It was considered a disgrace if you cut off the bun thingy, i think it represented something back then for vietnamese, maybe it meant you lost your vietnamese identity or something. Most of the vietnamese people back then didnt wear the hats... so you can see the bun, i think the only people who wore the hat were usually people who help the king or work for him etc. or rich people, usually we just wear the traditional dress with no hat, but i've seen some wear a head band kinda thing like ryu, maybe to replace the hat thing.

I dont think we were ever taken over during the manchus reign in china so we shouldn't of adopted that hair..
