A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode of The History of Vietnam: Resistance Against Every Empire, Lucas and Luna explore the deep cultural roots of Vietnamese ancestor worship and its connection to personal identity and naming conventions. They discuss how the Vietnamese practice of honoring ancestors—through rituals, altars, and the taboo of using given names—reflects a worldview where the dead remain active participants in family life. The episode delves into the concept of 'linh hồn' (soul) and the belief in multiple souls after death, contrasting it with Western ideas. They examine how colonial and modern influences have shifted naming practices, from the use of clan names and generation names to the recent adoption of 'họ' (family names) and 'tên' (given names) in a more Westernized format. The conversation also touches on the historical significance of names during the Nguyễn dynasty and how the Vietnamese naming system reveals a society that values continuity, family, and the spiritual presence of ancestors. A thoughtful reflection on how naming is an act of memory and resistance.
