Some may refer to the kingdom of Xích Qu? (2879–2524 BCE) established by King Kinh D??ng, in which written records described it of this size:


有些人可能會提到國王祿續(xù)建立的赤鬼王國(公元前2879-2524年),在書面記錄中描述了它的規(guī)模:

Unfortunately, this is legendary, and not real. There is no evidence of Xích Qu?’s existence or being this big. At most, the records written centuries later were referring to the Baiyue tribes as a whole. In reality, those tribes never formed a united nation.
Some may refer to the kingdom of V?n Lang
established by L?c Long Quan, in which written records described it of this size:

不幸的是,這是傳說,而不是真實(shí)的。沒有證據(jù)表明赤鬼王國的存在或者有這么大。最多,幾個(gè)世紀(jì)后寫的記錄是指整個(gè)百越部落。事實(shí)上,那些部落從未形成一個(gè)統(tǒng)一的國家。
有些人可能會提到文朗王國,由雒龍君建立,在書面記錄中描述了它的大小:


Unfortunately, this is also legendary, and not real, with the same basis as Xích Qu?’s. However, it was plausible that the kingdom of V?n Lang was real, just not this big, and was ruled by the L?c Vi?t, of whom China and Vietnam have differing opinions on its location. According to official Vietnamese history, this was its actual size:

不幸的是,這也是傳說,而不是真實(shí)的,與赤鬼王國的基本盤差不多。然而,文朗王國是真實(shí)的,只是沒有這么大,并且由L?c Vi?t統(tǒng)治,中國和越南對其位置有不同的意見。根據(jù)越南官方歷史,這是它的實(shí)際大小:


Some may refer to the state of Nanyue (204–111 BCE) established by Zhao Tuo, which became independent from the Qin empire. At its peak, this was the size:


有些人可能會提到趙佗建立的南越國(公元前204年至公元前111年),它從秦朝帝國中獨(dú)立出來。在巔峰時(shí)期,它的規(guī)模是這樣的:

However, whether Nanyue was a Chinese or Vietnamese state is still controversial. According to both modern Chinese and Vietnamese recognitions, Nanyue was a Chinese state that ruled the land of Vietnam, and was a conqueror that began the eras of Chinese domination. So no, this was not a Vietnamese state.
The largest empire Vietnam had ever become with clear historical records and effectively belonged to Vietnam was the empire of ??i Nam (1839–1945), with the size that included parts of modern-day Laos and Cambodia:

然而,南越是中國還是越南的一個(gè)州仍然有爭議。根據(jù)現(xiàn)代中國人和越南人的認(rèn)知,南越是一個(gè)統(tǒng)治越南土地的中國國家,是一個(gè)開啟了中國統(tǒng)治時(shí)代的征服者。所以不,這不是一個(gè)越南國家。
根據(jù)明確的歷史記錄,越南成為的最大帝國實(shí)際上屬于越南的是大南帝國(1839-1945),其疆域包括今天老撾和柬埔寨的部分地區(qū):

During Emperor Minh M?ng of Nguy?n dynasty, Vietnam reached its peak in physical size, swallowing up most of Cambodia, half of Laos, with vassalage from the Lao kingdom of Champasak and Jrai chiefdoms in modern-day Central Vietnam.


在Nguy?n王朝的明明命帝時(shí)期,越南的疆域達(dá)到了頂峰,吞并了柬埔寨的大部分,老撾的一半領(lǐng)土,這些領(lǐng)土原本屬于占巴塞的老撾王國;以及征服了今天越南中部的杰萊酋長領(lǐng)地。
(譯注:占巴塞(Champasak)曾經(jīng)是老撾王國的首都,是一座只有一條道路的慵懶城鎮(zhèn)。)
