_According to our legends, Lac Long Quan (Lac the Dragon Lord) was a sea dragon. He married a mountain fairy called Au Co. She bore an egg sac that hatched 100 children. When they divorced, Lac led 50 children to sea, and Au Co led 50 children to land.
_Their first son became the first Hung Vuong (the mighty King), king of Van Lang, the first nation in Vietnam. Van Lang lasted from 2879 BC to 258 BC, ruled by 18 generations of Hung Vuong. Van Lang territory included parts of south China and north Vietnam.
_Thuc Phan, ruler of another Viet tribe, defeated the 18th Hung Vuong and created the Au Lac, the second nation in Vietnam.
_Thuc Phan's nation was invaded by Zhao Tuo (207 BC), started the 1000 years of domination of Chineses.
