Abstract:

This research paper aims to clarify some influences of Dai Viet civilization under the expansion of Nguyen Lords as well as lead to a recognition of Nguyen Lords’ role in Vietnamese culture preservation in Cochinchina during the 17th century and the 18th century. The author employs historical methods via a wide range of source materials and desk-research paper and logical method to generalize three locale points for this paper: (1) Dai Viet civilization contains new illustrations in clothing culture, housing culture and traffic culture; (2) The preservation of Vietnamese villages can be seen a copy of traditional villages in new territories, but it includes new social paradigms of the Chinese and the Khmerese; (3) Vietnamese people and other minorities performed their spiritual and religious culture through receiving new scholars of religions and beliefs to enrich Dai Viet civilization. The paper proves that there was a mass civilizational integration in Cochinchina during the 17th and the 18th century relied on perspectives of the civilizational history.
