THE CHU HAN
During the 1,000 years of Chinese rule over what is now northern Viet Nam, classical Han Chinese, also known as became firmly established as the language of the Vietnamese royal court and would remain so until as late as 1918 when the ancient system of mandarin examinations was finally abolished.
The oldest extant literature written in classical Han Chinese comprises a corpus of 11th century poems written by Buddhist monks. By the 13th and 14th centuries poems in classical Han Chinese were written for the court by Confucian scholars such as Le Quat (b?), Mac Dinh Chi (d 1346), Truong Han Sieu (d 1354), Chu Van An (d 1370) and Nguyen Trung Ngan (1289-1370), along with important historical works such as Le Van Huu's Dai Viet Su Ky ('Brief History of Dai Viet') and a range of geographical and encyclopaedic volumes.
