Hung Kings’
Death
Anniversary
1. Legend of Hung
Kings Death
Anniversary
It is said that thousands
of years ago, Lac Long
Quan (King Dragon of
the Land of Lac Viet) had
superhuman strength
and liked to stay near
water. He succeeded to
the throne of his father,
and governed the Lac-
Viet tribe.
De Lai, king of a
northern tribe, with his
daughter Au Co made a
trip to visit the
south.Admiring Lac Long
Quan’s talent, De Lai
married Au Co to Lac
Long Quan

Au Co and 100 egg s, which
hatched into 100 chi ldren
Lac Long Quan and A u Co
when they s eparated
After that, Au Co became
pregnant and gave birth to a
membranous sac. The sac
kept getting larger and larger,
and burst on the seventh day.
Surprisingly, there were one
hundred eggs in the sac,
which hatched into one
hundred beautiful children.
The couple then parted due
to their different origins. Lac
Long Quan led 50 children
down to the coastal region
to populate the land and
propagate the race. Au Co
brought 50 children up to
the mountainous area.
The Hung Kings
The children of Lac Long Quan and Au Co were
the ancestors of Vietnam, and so the Vietnamese
are known as "Dragon and Fairy descendants."
The eldest child, Hung Vuong, was left to become
King; he founded the capital in Phong Chau and
named the country Van Lang. He’s the first king
of Vietnam.
From generations to generations, the
Vietnamese people hold a festival
nationwide on the 10th day of the third
lunar month to commemorate the
anniversary of their ancestor's death,
founder of the Vietnamese nation - the first
Hung King.
