From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Âu Lạc[note 1] (chữ Hán: 甌貉[‡ 1]/甌駱;[‡ 2] pinyin: Ōu Luò; Wade–Giles: Wu1-lo4 Middle Chinese (ZS): *ʔəu-*lɑk̚ < Old Chinese *ʔô-râk[5][6]) was a supposed polity that covered parts of modern-day Guangxi and northern Vietnam.[7] Founded in 257 BCE by a figure called Thục Phán (King An Dương), it was a merger of Nam Cương (Âu Việt) and Văn Lang (Lạc Việt) but succumbed to the state of Nanyue in 179 BCE, which, itself was finally conquered by the Han dynasty.[8][9] Its capital was in Cổ Loa, present-day Hanoi, in the Red River Delta.[10]
