The Tân line (Vietnamese: chi Tân; chi can also be translated to as branch) was the sixteenth dynasty of Hùng kings of the Hồng Bàng period of Văn Lang (now Viet Nam). Starting approximately 660 B.C., the line refers to the rule of Đức Quân Lang and his successors.[1]

History

Đức Quân Lang was born approximately 712 B.C., and took the regnal name of Hùng Tạo Vương upon becoming Hùng king.[2] The series of all Hùng kings following Đức Quân Lang took that same regnal name of Hùng Tạo Vương to rule over Văn Lang until approximately 569 B.C.[2]

During this period, local leaders rose in rebellion against the Hùng king' government in what legend accounts called it the "Man rebellion."[3] It ended as the rebels surrendered due to the suppression by the forces of General Thạch Tướng.[3]

Perhaps a little before 600 BC, the metallurgical style invented the unique shape of drum which characterizes the style.[4]

An important aspect of Vietnamese culture by the sixth century B.C. was the tidal irrigation of rice fields through an elaborate system of canals and dikes.[5] The fields were called Lạc fields.[5]
