History

Lân Lang was born approximately 2570 BC, and took the regnal name of Hùng Quốc Vương (雄國王) upon becoming Hùng king.[2] The series of all Hùng kings following Hùng Lân took that same regnal name of Hùng Quốc Vương to rule over Văn Lang until approximately 2253 BC.[2]

Lân Lang later changed the national appellation from Xích Quỷ to Văn Lang. Since this time the different ethnic minorities of Vietnam were formed.[3] The administrative rule of the Lạc tướng, Bố chính, and Lạc hầu was promulgated.[4]

Around 2500 BC, the Hùng king expanded rice cultivation.[5]
