The culture of Vietnam is one of the oldest in the Southeast Asia region. Although Vietnam lies
geographically in Southeast Asia, long periods of Chinese domination and influence has resulted in
the emergence of many East Asia characteristics in Vietnamese culture, and generally Vietnam is
said to be a part of the East Asian cultural sphere, known widely as Chinese cultural sphere.
Despite considerable foreign influence, Vietnamese people have managed to retain many
distinct customs. While Chinese culture has the largest influence on traditional Vietnamese culture,
there is also a much smaller influence from the Cham and later Western cultures, most notably of
France, Russia and the United States.
In terms of prehistory, most Vietnamese historians consider the ancient Dong Son Culture to be
one of the defining aspects of early Vietnamese civilization.
Vietnam’s population in 2006 was 84,402,966, with a population density of 253 people per
square kilometre. Most people live in or near the densely populous Red River or Mekong Delta.
Due to the nation’s southward expansion through its history, along with the different climate

and environment met by the settlers as they moved further south, slightly different regional cultures
began to emerge, most notably between Northern and Southern Vietnam.
Question 41: The culture of Vietnam ………………………
A. is the youngest in Asia.
B. does not get any Asian characteristics.
C. was influenced by that of China.
D. was greatly dominated by that of Western.
