 The Fundamental Features of the Vietnamese Civilisation |
| by Thai Van Kiem & Ton That Uan |
[ For centuries, Viet Nam has been subject to the rule of a powerful neighbour, the Chinese Empire. In the world of travellers who have visited Vietnam without staying long enough in the country and knew it without having a sufficient knowledge of the land and the people, an opinion has been substantiated that this country was merely a Chinese province. This ancient and tenacious prejudice is still to be found among many people who claim to be people of culture. It is this preconceived judgement which prevents people from realising that, taken as a whole, the customs and mentality of the Vietnamese are separate from the influences exerted by the Chinese occupation, and distinct enough to deserve to be recognised as so many component elements of an authentic Vietnamese civilisation.... ]

| Gac: a Fruit from Heaven |
| by Thuy-Le Vuong |
[ In populations where intakes of animal foods are inadequate and food sources of retinol are not economically possible, efficient use of carotene-rich plants may prevent vitamin A deficiency. In Vietnam, the Gac fruit (Momordica Cochinchinnensis Spreng) is an excellent source of beta-carotene (17-35 mg/100g of edible part)... ]

Language, Literacy, and Nationalism:
A Comparative Study of Vietnam and Taiwan |
| by Wi-vun Taiffalo Chin |
[ This paper examines the developments and influences of romanization in the traditional Hanji dominant Taiwanese and Vietnamese societies. Both internal and external factors have contributed to the different outcomes of romanization in these two countries.

The Present Echoes of the Ancient Bronze Drum:
Nationalism and Archeology in Modern Vietnam and China |
| by Xiaorong Han |
[ In this article, I intend to make a brief review of the major works on the bronze drum published in Vietnam and China in the 1970s and 1980s, and will demonstrate how nationalism predetermined the positions of the scholars researching the issue of the origin of the bronze drum. I will also discuss how their theories about the origin of the bronze drum in turn influenced their understanding of other aspects of the bronze drum, such as its typology, dating and decoration. My chief concern here is not to prove which side is right or wrong, but to try to explain why the issue of the origins of the bronze drum became so important to the Vietnamese and Chinese scholars during this period, and why no scholars expressed different views from those of their compatriots... ]

| Japan Early Trade Coin and the Commercial Trade between Vietnam and Japan in the 17th Century |
| by Thuan Luc |
[ There was no historical record to recite exactly when the Japanese started trading with Viet Nam. Vietnamese historians only knew that Chinese merchants traded with the Viet a couple hundred years before the Japanese. Did the Japanese go to the Viets or the Viets sailed to Kyushu? Or perhaps the Chinese, and the Javanese acting as middle man traded these goods northward? ... ]

| Vietnamese Family: Myth and Reality |
| by Frank Nhat Trinh |
[ "The family is the foundation of society". Vietnamese people strongly believe in this expression, and in the stability and strength that the family unit can lend to society and indeed, to the nation... ]
