Sông Ba: giao lộ chính trị - kinh tế - văn hóa đặc thù

Abstract

The research undertake surveys on the ethnic structures along the Ba River is not merely a statistical work on monuments in an administrative area belonging to a certain province. History has shown that the Ba River was a vibrant intersection serving as a conjunction between ethnic communities on the territory that opened its doors to receive flows of foreign cultures many centuries ago. The port here served as a meeting point attracting sea traders from many countries within and outside of Southeast Asia. Apart from this characteristic, preserved relics from the Le Dynasty show that besides the Vietnamese culture there are signs of Chinese migration and that there was a interlinked relation between Vietnamese, Cham, Chinese, Ede, Jarar and Bahnar... This is a colorful portrait showing the subtle process of integration of Vietnamese in the nowadays Southern Central part of Vietnam. In the context of this co-existence with other powerful ethnic groups it becomes clear that from the very beginning on the Vietnamese had gradually found for themselves the necessary basis for there existence.
