- Women living an independent life
According to the founding myth of Vietnam,
A woman on the ground and a man in the sea world marry and give birth to 100 eggs. Although 100 boys were born in 100 eggs, they had to leave their husbands who had to live in the water. The woman of the divine world takes 50 children to the mountains, and sets up the kingdom of the firstborn child as a king. This is Hung Vuong, who founded Van Lang kingdom, the first country in Vietnam.
It is probably a patriarchy tribe has a union with Patriachal tribe but later changed the relationship long long time ago. In recognition of the fact that women are their founders and worship them, Vietnam has traditionally been able to suggest that the social status of women is quite high. This is another not unreasonable reasoning.
Cause In Vietnam, there are many female heroes.
There were sisters 'Truong Trac' and 'Trung Nhi' who caused wars against China in the first century, and later became themselves Queen. These insurrections were meaningful in that they were Vietnam's first large-scale systematic resistance. The more interesting thing is that these sisters had 36 female generals when they fought against China. And there was a separate female archer sniper unit to shoot. There are not only two outstanding women, but more women heroes who fought together.
One of the main streets of Ho Chi Minh's main street is Hai Ba Trung, which was built to honor the Trung sister. On February 8, the lunar calendar, they praise their courage and honor their souls. In addition to these women, the women's museum in Ho Chi Minh has stories and pictures of 65 female heroes who have been outstanding in Vietnam's history for three thousand years. There are many roads in Vietnam named after many female heroes. Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Vo Thi sau, Nguyen Thi Dinh ... There are a lot of road names in Vietnam to name Vietnamese heroes in their names.
September 2, 1945. When Vietnamese national hero Ho Chi Minh wins the battle with France and proclaims the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, one representative of ethnic minority ethnic group, one representative of Vietnam group in the plains region and two The women let the Vietnam flag fly. In Vietnam, I think that it is a comrade who made the revolution of women together. Even if it is possible for political reasons to refer to ethnic minorities as formal representatives, the fact that two women are included demonstrates that not only Ho Chi Minh but also all Vietnamese people recognize women as equal. It is a symbolic figure that clearly shows national equality and gender equality.
The pictures of the Vietnam War in various museums in Vietnam make it clearer.
All ages and countries, all times and places In any society, women are almost one-sided victims during the war. However, Vietnamese women actively participated in the war and did not merely work as assistants, but in the same position as men.
A Woman Shinsaidang, the protagonist of 50,000 won paper money, most large-denomination bill who has been admired by the Republic of Korea. Her great accomplishments are that she is good at abilities but at home she did her best to grow her Son into a great scholar. --;
The Greatest woman of Korea is a Best supporter for her hunband and Son! How Korea has low evaluation on women!
If we think about it, did not women heroes really exist in the history of Korea, or did the men-centered society completely obstruct it and leave no records? How many female heroes do Koreans remember in their 5,000 years history? It is must be less than 3~5 heroes
In Vietnam, men and women are equally entitled to inherit property, and if there are no men in the house, women can attend sacrifices. In addition, thirteen women, half of the 27 precious traditions in Vietnam, are female gods. In addition, 30% of the members of the National Assembly are women. Vietnam is the country with the highest social status of women than any other country.
At present, Vietnam's per capital income is at US $ 2,300 (based on IMF in 2017). Right now, it is a small country with low consumption. However, the participation rate of women is very high and the purchasing power of Vietnamese women is very strong. Although the absolute amount of consumption is small right now, if the country has a high profile of female consumers who are making and leading the consumer goods market, will the future of the Vietnamese market be inevitably bright?
