The culture of Vietnam is one of the oldest in the Southeast Asia region. Although
Vietnam lies geographically in Southeast Asia, long periods of Chinese domination and
influence has resulted in the emergence of many East Asian characteristics in Vietnamese
culture, and generally Vietnam is said to be a part of the East Asian cultural sphere, known
widely as Chinese cultural sphere.
Despite considerable foreign influence, Vietnamese people have managed to retain many
distinct customs. While Chinese culture has the largest influence on traditional Vietnamese
culture, there is also a much smaller influence from the Cham and later Western cultures,
most notably of France, Russia and the United States.
In term of prehistory, most Vietnamese historians consider the ancient Dong Son Culture
to be one of the defining aspects of early Vietnamese civilization.
Vietnam’s population in 2006 was 84,402,966, with a population density of 253 people per
km
2
. Most people live in or near the densely populous Red River or Mekong deltas.
Due to the nation’s southward expansion throughout its history, along with the different
climate and environment met by the settlers as they moved further south, slightly different
regional cultures began to emerge, most notably between Northern and Southern Vietnam.

A. is the youngest in Asia B. does not get any Asian characteristics
C. was influenced by that of China D. was greatly dominated by that of Western
