Red River – Flow Of The Time

The Red River civilization is growing in the interest of social scholars and archaeologists.

Terrain conditions are also surrounded by many hills plus a tropical monsoon climate that is conducive to biodiversity, abundant flora and fauna.

From Lao Cai to Viet Tri, the river is like a silk band bending between the two sides of the forest and tea tree hill so the Phu Tho people call it Thao River (silk). Thao is also a phonetic word in Lam Thao, the name of a district of Phu Tho that flows through the river.

From Viet Tri to Hanoi is Bach Ma River. There are still many older people calling this river the Cai River, meaning Mother River. Mother of another thousand rivers. That is the ancient name that the ancient Vietnamese had called, perhaps in the matrilineal way of thinking.

The French are very romantic and sensible to look at the pinky alluvium that calls it the Red River, the name officially called to this day. The Red River bends to embrace Thang Long from the Minh Mang dynasty to call this land Hanoi (in the river). For thousands of years, the Red River has flowed into a very important part of Vietnamese history, including a thousand years flowing into the history of Hanoi.
