I saw Vietnam's Foundation myth is similar with china, also Share same Foundation myths. Not real Decendants of Shennong, but they called this. Decendants of Shennong 神農氏(chinese myth's god) Vietnamese called 'Lac long quan' made Vietnamese dynasty. So follow to Vietnam's Foundation myth, China and vietnam have same myth.

And Many of records in Vietnamese dynasty called themselves as 'Southern dynasty(南朝)' and they called chinese dynasty as 'Northen dynasty(北朝)' sometimes Vietnameses wrote themselves as 'Han(漢), Central kingdom(中國)'

So China called themselves as 中國, and Vietnam also called themselves as 中國.

What do think about these things.

Also how Chinese dynasty and Chinese reacted about these?

I saw 'Causes of the Industrial Revolution' and I wonder they could make this or not.

1, good economy (song dynasty's gdp is the most high in Medieval world)

2, surplus product (southern song has many surplus product)

3, a lot of steel and coal production

(steel production in 1078 song dynasty is similar with 1788 United kingdom's steel production. at 1788, UK did industrial revolution. )

4. declined in the population

Black Plague in Europe -> population decline -> Labor is becoming more important

-> slowly development of Machines (because labor is expensive) -> industrial revolution

Mongol Invasion in Song dynasty -> population decline -> Labor is becoming more important

-> because of mongol invasion, Song dynasty's tech is more getting high -> but mongols won

So... I really wonder What if Mongol's Invasion failed in China, Industrial Revolution can appear in China 700 years ago?

tell me your thinking thank you

During the Ming Dynasty, I saw an article written by a Vietnamese saying that the Ming Dynasty treated him as a barbarian But

Vietnam also accepted Chinese characters, Confucianism, and many Chinese cultures, but why Ming dynasty did the treatment different?

I would also want to know the treatment of Korea, Japan, and Vietnam by each chinese dynasty.

Thank you.
