The Hùng Kings are legendary figures in Vietnamese history, believed to be the founders of the first Vietnamese state, Van Lang. They are said to have ruled around 2879 to 258 BC and are celebrated for their contributions to the formation of Vietnamese culture and identity. The Hùng Kings are often associated with the development of agriculture, particularly rice cultivation, which played a crucial role in the sustenance of early Vietnamese society. Every year, the Vietnamese people commemorate the Hùng Kings through the Hùng Kings' Festival, held on the 10th day of the third lunar month. This festival honors their legacy and promotes national pride, featuring various cultural activities, traditional performances, and offerings at the Hung Temple in Phu Tho Province. The Hùng Kings symbolize the unity and resilience of the Vietnamese people throughout history.
