The calendars of Southeast Asia. 3: Vietnam
Abstract
This paper discusses the causes of misunderstanding about the nature of Vietnamese calendars; about the ancient Vietnamese calendar-finding process; about the results of studying three old calendars that were produced by different Vietnamese dynasties; and about the differences that existed between Vietnamese and Chinese calendars when they existed simultaneously; and finally some consequences of studying these ancient Vietnamese calendars.
