越南古为交趾之地，自秦汉至北宋的1000余年中，交趾地区为中国管制下的郡县。到了公元十世纪中叶，我国宋朝的时候，越南建立了封建国家，但仍是中国的藩属，两国之间始终保持着宗藩关系，直到1885年越南沦为法国的殖民地，这种关系才宣告结束。

可越南有所谓“小中华”的野心和梦想，所以硬把秦始皇座下将军赵佗开创的南越国说成是越南第一个封建王朝，继而想继承南越国的领土。当年阮朝开国之君曾向大清的嘉庆皇帝求封国号为“南越”，被严厉驳斥，改其国号为“越南”，以为南越之南，故有此称。在美版知乎Quora上，越南网友提问道：越南和中国广东的文化有多接近？是怎么造成的？

越南网友Thus Nguyen的回答

In my answer, Vietnamese culture refers to the mainstream culture of the Vietnamese Nanjing ethnic group.

在我的回答中，越南文化是指越南京族的主流文化。

Cantonese and Vietnamese are nationals of two different countries. The mixed culture of the ancient Nanyue state and Ouyue, Luoyue and Han nationalities has contributed to the culture of Guangdong, Guangxi and Vietnamese. However, Guangdong culture also inherited the culture of other Baiyue tribes and nations, while Vietnamese culture also absorbed bits and pieces of Champa and Khmer culture, as well as French and American culture in the colonial era.

广东人和越南人是两个不同国家的国民。南越古国及瓯越、罗越古国和汉族的混合文化对两广地区和越南文化都有贡献。然而，广东文化也继承了其他百越部落和民族的文化，而越南文化也在向南的过程中吸收了占婆和高棉文化以及殖民地时代的法国和美国文化中的点点滴滴。

Although the sinicization of Lingnan was not completed until the 12th to 13th century, the two had already split in the 10th century, and Vietnam was independent from the Chinese dynasty. However, the migration between southern China and Vietnam has never really stopped. Whenever China's dynasties change, southern Chinese will migrate to Vietnam in large numbers.

虽然岭南的汉化直到12-13世纪才完成，但二者在10世纪早已分裂，越南从中国王朝统治下独立出来。然而，中国南部和越南之间的移民从未真正停止过，每当中国发生王朝更迭时，南部中国人都会大批迁移到越南。

During the formation of South Vietnam, most of the Chinese people came from southern China after the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, South Vietnam was affected by the sub culture of Guangdong. In Vietnam, the Chinese community does not build a wall between itself and others as other countries do. Over time, the people of these Chinese communities mingled with the local Vietnamese Jing, Champa and Khmer people and gradually merged.

在南越的形成时期，华族大多来自明朝灭亡后的中国南方，因此南越受到了广东亚文化影响。在越南，华族社区并不像其他国家那样在自己和其他人之间筑起一道墙。随着时间的推移，这些华族社区的人与当地的越南京族、占婆人和高棉人混在一起，逐渐融合。

As far as language is concerned, Cantonese belongs to the Sino Tibetan language family, which is influenced by its southern minority languages English Japanese Vietnamese (in areas bordering Vietnam). Vietnamese belongs to the Australian language family and is influenced by different versions of Chinese, Thai, French, English, Japanese (less than Cantonese), Khmer and Zhan. About 70% of Vietnamese vocabulary comes from different versions of Chinese. Vietnamese is closer to Cantonese than Mandarin because both languages retain some ancient Chinese fragments.

就语言而言，粤语属于汉藏语系，受其南部少数民族语言 英语 日语 越南语（在与越南接壤的地区）的影响。越南语属于澳大利亚语系，受到汉语、泰语、法语、英语、日语（少于粤语）、高棉语和湛语的不同版本语言的影响。越南语大约70%的词汇来自不同版本的汉语。与普通话相比，越南语更接近粤语，因为这两种语言都保留了一些古汉语片段。

Until the 21st century, Hong Kong and Macao developed a Cantonese writing system, and most Cantonese was written in classical Chinese. Although the writing system is not very popular outside these two regions. Until the late 19th century, the official language of Vietnam was classical Chinese. In the 20th century, in order to cut off Vietnam from its past history, the French colonialists began a series of de sinicization movements since the second half of the 19th century, prohibited the use of Chinese (classical Chinese) in the official documents of the Ruan Dynasty, and abolished the imperial examination in 1915 and 1918-1919. The decline of the status of Chinese characters and Chinese characters has also led to the decline of the status of the Han characters, which are closely related to Chinese characters.

直到21世纪，香港和澳门发展了粤语书写系统，粤语大部分都用文言文书写。虽然书写系统在这两个地区之外并不十分流行。直到19世纪晚期，越南的官方文字都是文言文。20世纪，为了将越南从过去的历史中切断，19世纪下半叶以来，法国殖民者开始了一系列的去中国化运动，禁止阮朝官方文书汉文（文言文）的使用，并废除了1915年和1918年至1919年的科举考试。汉字、汉文地位的降低，也导致了与汉字关系紧密的喃字的地位下降。

The proverb "Chinese people eat all things with four legs, except tables, and all things that can fly, except airplanes" is mainly applicable to Guangdong and Guangxi. Like Cantonese, Vietnamese eat everything except tables and planes. However, the main difference between Vietnamese and Cantonese cuisine is the use of a large number of herbs and vegetables in Vietnamese cuisine and the influence of France.

在饮食方面，“中国人吃所有四条腿的东西，除了桌子，还吃所有能飞的东西，除了飞机”这句谚语主要适用于广东和广西。就像广东人一样，越南人也是“除了桌子，除了飞机，什么都吃”。但越南和两广地区的菜系的主要区别是在越南菜中使用了大量的香草和蔬菜以及法国的影响。
