| About Vietnam >> Vietnam's Culture :>> Vietnam's Culture - Dong Son culture Dong Son culture is a Bronze age culture that was centered at the Red River Valley of Vietnam from about 1000 to 1 BC. The Dong Son people was skilled at cultivating rice, feeding buffalos and pigs, fishing and sailing with long dug-out canoes. They also were skilled bronze casters as can be seen in the famous Dong Son drums, which has been found widely in Southeast Asia. Dong Son is identified with the Van Lang ruling dynasty, the first ruling dynasty of Vietnam. The Dong Son culture is linked to the Tibeto - Burman culture, the Dai culture in Yunnan and Laos, the Mon - Khmer cultures and the culture associated with the Plain of Jars in Laos. Similar artifacts have been found in Cambodia along the Mekong River dating back to the 4th millennium B.C. Dong Son influence is seen throughout South-East Asia, from the moko drum of Alor, Indonesia to the design of the Malaysian keris knife.
