  • Described by ancient Chinese historians as “southern barbarians”, the Baiyue were a series of different cultures and ethnic groups that lived in Southern China and Vietnam between around 1000 BCE to 1000 CE.
    Tune in to hear about stories about the Baiyue, including a Vietnamese sea dragon, an ancient sword and a chieftain captured and released seven times by the same guy.

    I'm ethnically chinese from Malaysia. Growing up people kept asking me if I was mixed which always perplexed me as I didn't have any non-chinese relatives in my family tree (as far as I know). I grew up in a predominantly chinese neighbourhood and always thought I looked the same as everyone else. As an adult when I travelled to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia people would mistake me as one of the locals. Now it all makes sense.

      Think about how companies like 23-and-me figure out where you are form when they make those genetic tests. There are in fact, no genetic test to determine where you are from. What they are doing is comparing your genes to those of other people already in their database, and THAT is where your % result comes from.
      But how do they know where those people come from? Simple, when you send for a test, they have your address.
      How do they know if you're descended from immigrants or indigenous people? Well, they ask you. And there in lies the problem. There are lots of immigrants from China who have assimilated nearly completely. For example, Bongbong, Digong, Noynoy all have partial Chinese ancestry. But if they're taking a 23-and-me test, and the form has checkboxes for "local" and "immigrant", they're gonna tick "local". Even the king of Thailand has partial Chinese ancestry. These are people who KNOWS they have ancestors who came from China, but they identify as "local" and not "immigrant". There are a lot more who don't know they have ancestors who came from China. Especially poorer people, who don't keep records of their ancestry that far back.
      Decades ago, when I was in school, I had a classmate who's dad was Malay but his mom was Chinese. Malaysian Chinese. Probably many generations in the country, like, she didn't just immigrated from China. Anyway, he insists that he is 100% Malay, even though at the same time, he says his mom was "formerly" Chinese. But since she converted, she isn't "really Chinese" anymore. I didn't keep in touch with him. But I bet his grandchildren today present as 100% Malay, and none of their friends knows they had a Chinese grandmum. Give it two more generations, and the family themselves may not be aware of it. The only reason we knew was because she came to school one day. Now, there is a lot of overlap in the appearance of Malays and Chinese. Sometimes, it is impossible to tell. But sometimes, it is impossible to deny, despite how she dressed.

    Some Southern Chinese like Cantonese are Bai Yue / Bach Viet tribes mixed with Northern Han ( Qin Dynasty). Vietnam was a result of two Bach Viet/ Bai Yue tribes the Au Viet ( Ou Yue) & Lac Viet ( Lou Yue) and mixing of Han Chinese during 1000 year colonization. I won't be surprised if DNA results show southern Chinese having some vietnamese genomes and vice versa due to being close neighbours.

      @kelly ma I never said Southern Chinese and Vietnamese are the same. But they do share similar origins via the maternal side. Some Bai Yue tribes fled to North Vietnam intermix with the locals. Also Nam Viet/ Nan Yue kingdom which consisted of North Vietnam, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and Hong Kong used to be one country. Immigration and intermixing was bound to happen. These are facts I suggest you read the Birth of Vietnam by Keith Weller Taylor. He gives a neutral view with both Chinese & Vietnamese sources. Proto Vietnamese were originally Muong that got mix with Kra-Dai speaking tribes and later with Han Chinese.
      Your answer in regards to Vietnamese being related to Khmer/ Cambodian is completely false. Vietic Language which should be a separate isolated language it's a mix between Proto Viet Muong & Annamese Middle Chinese. There very few influences from other Austroasiatic languages. The main difference being it's tonal , some of the pronunciation, most of the grammar and structure is similar to middle Chinese and some Tai Kadai words.

      @@anhlam7131 ''Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and Hong Kong used to be one country''This has never happened before.
      If they were a nation then they were based on a larger framework, namely the period when Vietnam was unified by China.
      According to modern genetic studies, the percentage of o3 genes in the southern Han Chinese was 80%, while the percentage of female Han genes was half that of males, which means that when the Han conquered the BaiYue in the south, their males were either slaughtered or driven out, leaving only the females, plus the Han males at that time had a higher status and had access to more marriage resources.
      The Vietnamese and southern Chinese may share the same maternal genes, but you may have overlooked the fact that they also probably share the same Han paternal genes.

When I tried to speak with a lady at a ‘Thai’ restaurant south of the Mekong river, I realised they use words in common with central Thai like ‘mai’ (wood), ‘nam’ (liquid) and ‘phak’ (vegetable), but their words for greetings were totally different from central Thai (‘sawasdee krap’), and so was the their word for rice (‘kao’ in central Thai). The touristic concrete architecture is Thai-inspired, but there are old houses with Thai style too, and there are buddhist monks.

    2:48 At first, I'm Viet, non English speaker so sorry for my English. FYI, 百越 / bai yue / Bách Việt do not mean literally "100 Viet", it's kind of word by word translating. It's a big misunderstanding through time. There are only 10 groups of Viet/Yue people, and some ancient countries with name "Yue" in history. The true meaning of Bai Yue is "people who use axes as a symbol of power". This is found in archaeological artifacts.

    Great episode. The Vietnamese, especially North Vietnamese, claim to be descendants of the Nanyue Kingdom in Guangdong.
    The Founder of the Nguyen Dynasty Gia Long wanted to pay tribute to the Chinese to recognise his new country as “Nam Viet” or Nanyue. The Qing did not recognise as the name implies to contain the Chinese region of Guangdong of the old Nanyue Kingdom. So hence Viet Nam was accepted instead.

    The Baiyue are simply the Dong, Zhuang and Bouyei people. They have always been the indigenous people of southeastern China. As an ethnic Miao, we have always call the Zhuang and Bouyei as Yat and Yie which are simply pronunciation of Yue. Northern Vietnam was home to the Nung-Tay people. Many of these Nung-Tay people were absorbed into Vietnamese culture and history. Their latter descendants became Kinh but still recited Nung-Tay folk culture.

      Kra-Dai Zhuang were likely native to Taiwan before being pushed south by Austronesians and other “Bai Yue” groups. This is a copy for another troll but it still applies: With dna testing of burial sites, there’s now a widely corroborated two layer model that explain “bai yue” (austroasiatic, kradai, Austronesian, Hmong-mien) migration into SEA. First wave were the hoabinhians which were black, they were hunter gatherers that have been there for 10s of thousands of years. Second wave were austroasiatics neolithics starting in 2000bc which were not black. These people were rice agriculturalist who were being pushed south by other “Bai Yue” rice agriculturalist like Thais/Zhuang, Hmong, and Austronesians, way before the invasions by millet farming Han Chinese. This happened over the course of a 1000 years so the first austroasiatics that came to SEA mixed with black hoabinhians until hoabinhians became extinct. These people became modern Mon, Khmers and Chuts, etc. Remember that hoabinhians are sparsely populated hunter gatherers mixing with larger population Neolithic rice farming agriculturalists, meaning negrito hoabinhians play an important, but tiny part in even Mon, Khmer and Chut genomes. Believe it or not, Kinh Vietnamese do not have hoabinhian dna. This is because by the time Bronze Age (aka Dong Son culture) rice farming agriculturist austroasiatics arrived to the Red River delta (1000bc) the pure hoabinhians were already bred out of existence. Ancestors of Kinh Vietnamese didn’t understand the chuts and Khmers were our mixed race Neolithic cousins and treated them like barbarians. Kinh Vietnamese are native to the Red River Delta for any Zhuang Chinese reading this. Y’all didn’t even know you were cousins of the Thailand Thais until three decades ago so I can’t imagine the CCP gives you freedom to do honest scholarship on this topic. The CCP likely doesn’t want to risk you guys fighting for independence so they allow the release of scholarships that keep you busy and focused on claiming the Red River Delta and Dong Son culture. Recent Dna testing of Dong Son burial sites in the Red River Delta show the natives were austroasiatic showing CCP and Chamberlain “research” from before 2010 utter nonsense. Remember, by 1000bc, all rice farming Bai Yue tribes south of the Yangtze River became Bronze Age metallurgists. An Duong Vuông admittingly was a Zhuang/Thai man that conquered the Red River Delta unifying “guangxi” (kra-dai speaking Au Viet) and red River (austroasiatic speaking Lac Viet) into Au Lac. But only for a short time until the Chinamen Zhao Tuo conquered the whole area and created “Nanyue”. Sadly, you guys never gained independence. Vietnamese language today has a Thai substrate because of that history. Doesn’t make you guys native to the Red River. Instead of trying to claim other people’s history, fight for your own independence.. 🇻🇳🤝🇹🇭

    The word ‘Viet’ was probably pronounced by the Middle Chinese as /hwjot/ (j here stands for the y-sound). Although it probably entered northern Vietnam as the older pronunciation /gwjot/. This would develop into Yuè and Việt in the modern languages. Also, bắc as in Bắc Việt actually means ‘North’. You’re thinking of its modern reflex Bách ‘hundred’ which sounds very similar in Modern Vietnamese.
    There was no need for the Viets to call themselves the hundred tribes since the Sinicized Yue didn’t lump themselves with their still barbaric neighbours.
    Incidentally, the native Viet word for 100 is trăm, which during the Middle period was probably pronounced tlăm with a tl sound that no longer exists in the modern language.

    I don't know about other Bai Yue bribes, but ancient Vietnamese had their own written language known as _tadpole script_ (chữ khoa đẩu) . Before the Chinese invaded ancient Vietnamese territory, burned their documents, enslaved them, and forced them to use Chinese characters, ancient Vietnamese used _tadpole script_ . Adam Robert Young posted an article in English on his own blog, titled *_"The Restorers - Ancient Vietnamese manuscripts behind locked doors"_* .

    According to modern genetic studies, the percentage of o3 genes in the southern Han Chinese was 80%, while the percentage of female Han genes was half that of males, which means that when the Han conquered the Baiyue in the south, their males were either slaughtered or driven out, leaving only the females, plus the Han males at that time had a higher status and had access to more marriage resources.
    In addition, the Baiyue were dozens of loose tribes, and the only common feature that can be proved is the barbaric civilization compared to the Chinese Middle Kingdom.
    In the past, the Chinese called them Baiyue, and today the Chinese call them Southeast Asia...
    Imagine if China annexed all the other Southeast Asian countries, leaving one Vietnam claiming to represent all the other countries even though they have nothing to do with each other...

    As the Dongyue were probably the last to be Sinanized and they are just adjacent to Taiwan and with similar cultural features, I often thought it was not improbable that they were tied to the Austranesians. Same about the Austroasiatic peoples and their connection to Nanyue which includes Vietnamese, Khmer, and several other groups in that language family throughout South and Southeast Asia. But I'm no linguist nor have knowledge of their genetics so these may be unsupported speculations on my part.
    Oh, please be careful in the use of the word civilization. Use the word culture to be safe. A pre-literate civilization is an oxymoron. Pre-literate cultures may be civil and civilizations uncivil so don't confuse these prejudices. Living in permanent dwellings together is just one aspect of civilization. Writing, government, permanent settlement, and farming are some of the required characteristics to be considered a civilization.

      Not true - the Yue Kingdom was not a Duchy/Franchised Kingdom under the Zhou Dynasty. Your point raises an important thing about the nature of the kingdoms during the Spring & Autumn Period - that NOT ALL of the kingdoms during this period were "zhuhou" kingdoms created by the Zhou Dynasty. True - many of the kingdoms in the Central China Plains e.g the Qin, Jin and Qi states were of Huaxia culture and had been created by the Zhou Dynasty kings, but other kingdoms - such as the Chu, the Wu and the Yue - were culturally much more distinct from the Central China Plains kingdoms. There have been records that the Yue kingdom had existed even before the establishment of the Zhou dynasty and that it was founded by the son of Shao Kang, a famous general in the Xia Dynasty - which was before the Zhou Dynasty. However, during the Zhou Dynasty, the Kingdom of Yue entered into the Huaxia Chinese sphere as they would pay tribute to the Zhou kings - which was recorded in the Bamboo Annals that in the 24th year reign of King Cheng of Zhou, the "kingdom of Yu Yue sent people to the Zhou court to visit". The theory that the Yue kingdom was ruled by Baiyue people - and not Huaxia Chinese (where Han Chinese comes from) - is stemmed from descriptions of the people of the Yue people that are similar to other Baiyue peoples.

    Cambodians have no relation to the Bai Yue people at all. The Thai and Lao people are related to Bai Yue because the closest ethnic group to the Thai and Lao people is the Zhuang people, belonging to Ou Yue (Au Viet). Vietnamese people belong to the Luo Yue (Lac Viet) group. Historically, the Ou Yue and Luo Yue people partially merged, creating the state of Au Lac. That's why the genes of Thai and Vietnamese people are 90% similar.

Yue was not a singular entity, it was made up of many diverse and distinct people groups hence the name Hundred Yue. Specifically in Fujian, Zhejiang it is more likely some Austronesian language was spoken. In Guangdong, Guangxi it seems Kra-Dai / Tai-Kadai languages are possible and in Vietnam AA languages probably native to Laos and north Vietnam.

    A very crucial different that Chinese history as compared to say, European history is that the road to nation building is extremely long, over several thousands of years. It is not true that the Han Chinese exterminated all the other ethnic minorities, but rather along the years, the more advanced group of people slowly take the lead, which made the other joining them. For example, in pre-historic period, Liangzhu culture in Zhejiang province seems very advance with their irrigation and city building. Their jade craftmanship was the best in the whole of China then. However, somewhere about 2300 BCE, they died out. DNA testing seems to indicate they are mainly the haplo group O2 (this is the part where Vietnamese and Philippines shamelessly trying to claim). However, did their culture just died with them? No. A few thousand kilometres away, the Erlitou culture rises, take over the mettle and continue to develop the culture left by Liangzhu. Even more surpising, in the very isolated plain of Chengdu, some influence of Liangzhu can also be found in the majestic Sanxingdui culture. When Erlitou fell, another culture from Erligang, which later to be identified as the Shang people took over. The Shang seems to come from north east. However, they adopted the culture of Erlitou easily, including what was inherited from Liangzhu.

      The important point is to differentiate "Chinese" with "Han Chinese". The Han Chinese and the Yue are two different ethnic groups and cultures and yes, if that is the case, then the Yue are not ancestors of Han Chinese.
      However, the modern definition of what is "Chinese" encapsulates ethnic groups that live in China besides Han Chinese, such as Miao and Zhuang ethnic minorities, which are said to have been descended from Baiyue tribes. Added on the fact that later Han Chinese migrants to southern China during the Qin and Han Dynasties intermixed with native Baiyue groups meant that their descendants, who are "Chinese", had Yue or Baiyue blood.
      Hence based on this, it is fair to say that some Chinese people nowadays have Baiyue ancestry, which is why I argue is the reason behind many genetic similarities between southern Chinese and Vietnamese peoples!
