Welcome back to the channel where we uncover
historical secrets that textbooks sometimes overlook
Today we're not diving into messy relationships or dull drama
Instead brace yourself for an intense mental shock from a character I dare say
If he were alive in the 21st century prophets like Vanga or Nostradamus would surely have to address him as sir
Yes no one else It was none other than the scholar Nguyen Binh Khiem himself
Have you ever wondered why our Vietnam despite enduring countless invasions from northern domination to colonial rule has still managed to preserve its independence
So why does our country's map stretch out in that long crooked S-shape instead of just ending abruptly at Đèo Ngang
Everything—yes everything—seemed to have been meticulously arranged centuries ago by a man who lived five hundred years ago
Sounds like science fiction doesn't it
But it's true—he didn't just predict the kings fighting many also claim he foresaw much more
He has witnessed all the events of the era in which we currently live
Scary right Today we're diving into the top-secret file codenamed Thunder Strike
This isn't superstition—it's cutting-edge science-based forecasting
Fasten your seatbelts because we're about to travel through time to witness the most extraordinary prophetic moments in Vietnamese history
Let's go We're diving into Chapter 1 the legend of the Sage the founding father of the divination arts
Before diving into those cryptic prophecies we need to get acquainted with the main character first
Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm widely revered by the people as Trạng Trình a name steeped in respect
He was born in 1491 a time when our ancestors were still traveling by horse-drawn carriage and had no Wi-Fi and he hailed from Hai Phong
Yes people from Hai Phong are straightforward just like our own Mr Trang Trinh—when he speaks every word lands with finality
From a young age Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm showed himself to be a child prodigy—exactly the kind of legendary genius from tales of old
While his peers were still playing marbles or hide-and-seek he was already deeply immersed in classics astronomy and geography
They say he had an extraordinary appearance—bright eyes like stars a broad and high forehead—just one look at him and you'd know he was no ordinary man
As he grew older he studied under Bang Nhan Luong Duc Binh a renowned master of martial arts within the scholarly circles of his time
He was such a gentleman that before passing away he entrusted the man with the Taiyi Shengjing scriptures
Now this part is what truly matters
This Taiyi Divine Classic isn't a cookbook or a martial arts secret manual you know
It is an extremely profound and mysterious series of books that teach how to calculate the workings of the universe and the stars from which one can deduce individual fate and the destiny of nations
Nom Na is a rice-powered supercomputer capable of forecasting the future and Nguyen Binh Khiem was the only one at that time
And perhaps even later on fully grasping this book
But life isn't like a dream—despite his talents Nguyễn Bình Khiêm wasn't eager to take the imperial exams and pursue an official career
He's waiting what else would he be waiting for but time itself
He saw through the political chessboard where deceit was as common as mustard greens the king indulged in pleasure and officials were all corrupt so he had no desire to bother becoming an official and wear himself out
By the time he reached forty-five the age when people begin to contemplate growing old
Then he packed his belongings and set off to take the exam with a gourd and guess what—he passed immediately and became the top scholar the Zhuangyuan
Yes that's the top scholar folks—the national top scorer no less
That's exactly why they say greatness is timeless
He served in the court of the Mạc dynasty for about eight years during which the people submitted petitions calling for the execution of 18 corrupt officials
But the king wouldn't listen so he became offended—no rather he chose to uphold his principles
He returned to his hometown hanging up his official seal and dedicating himself to teaching adopting the name Bạch Vân Cư Sĩ
From this moment the true legend began
He returned to his hometown built a small hermitage naming it White Cloud
Hermitage Every day he recited poetry drank wine and gazed at the clouds in the sky
Sounds like a gimmick just like those vloggers who quit the city to live in the woods these days
But no—actually he's sitting right there running the entire world
Even in seclusion his reputation spread far and
wide His disciples were all prominent figures
Historical figures such as Phùng Khắc Khoan Lương Hữu Khánh and Nguyễn Dữ emerged later
He is revered as Master Xuejiang a great teacher
What truly makes people fear and respect him is his uncanny ability to foretell the future
There are countless legends surrounding this story sounding almost
like ghost tales For instance once he was just sitting around relaxing
Then he saw a student dash in a panic his face pale ash
The student said he accidentally broke his teacher's precious vase and was afraid of being scolded
The teacher chuckled and said
It's alright the teacher already calculated it—the jar was bound to break on that very day
and hour if you hadn't broken it it would have shattered on its own anyway
Oh Spirit if even You could predict the fate of the broken jar then I’m truly at a loss
Or perhaps a tale even more thrilling
It is said that during a time of famine the people suffered greatly from hunger
Crime and banditry erupted like swarms of shrimp
One day a thief sneaked into the mansion hoping to steal a small fortune
After searching around he found the owner sitting quietly reading a book
Next to it lay a loose gold ingot and the thief couldn't help but rejoice
Grabbing at the cloth he suddenly heard the old man recite two lines
of poetry: "It comes and goes in a flash seems lost but still remains "
The thief froze startled "Wait how did you know what I was about to do "
He was so frightened he fled immediately never daring to come near again
The next morning the neighbors recounted theft and he simply
laughed and said It came to borrow luck not to take anything
It turned out he had cast a divination and foreseen
an uninvited guest arriving tonight so he recited poetry to gently ward them off
Indeed mastery is nothing compared to seizing the moment
But the pinnacle of divination must be the case of the stone phallus
Legends say that before his passing Trạng Trình instructed his descendants
that after his death a stone tablet should be placed inside his coffin
The characters were already carved in scattered here and there He also instructed that
it be inscribed saying that someone would come to desecrate the tomb in the future
But rest assured everything will fall into place
Sure enough several hundred years later
a skilled Chinese geomancer passed through the area
He saw that the tomb of Trạng Trình was located in a place with exceptionally
beautiful land a spot where the auspicious energy of the feng shui converged in perfect harmony
He was so envious and resentful that he wanted to destroy it to carve a path for his descendants in the land
of Nam He ordered the tomb opened and as soon as the coffin lid was lifted
Alas within it lies a stone tablet inscribed with these words: On this day
in this month in this year one bearing this name shall come to break my code
After reading it the Chinese official turned pale as a banana leaf sweat
pouring off him as if
he'd just stepped out of a bath
Hurry up like a shooting
star quickly seal the grave
shut carefully build it
up then vanish fast Scared yet
They've been dead for hundreds of years yet still scare the living
half to death Just a few
minor incidents like that and
You can already tell the caliber of Mr Nguyen Binh Kiem—his humility
reaches cosmic proportions But those
are just isolated personal matters
What truly made him a
visionary the one who redrawn the map of Vietnam
lay in the prophecies themselves
关乎国家命运的根本大事
He was like someone holding the script
of the entire history of Vietnam in
his hands Who would want to live
Whoever wants to die whoever wants to
become
king whoever wants
to rule—must all seek his counsel
In those chaotic turbulent times
The struggle among the
Trinh Mac and Nguyen factions the rival factions fought fiercely heads cracked and weary
each vying to be the dominant power
And when at their wit's
end they all turn to one
trusted address—Trang Trình 's
Am Bạch Vân—for guidance
or to be more precise asking for a way to survive
And strangely enough
he gave each person a different piece of advice
And every piece of advice was spot-on
No need for
a formal title—this helped maintain a balanced political格局
for centuries to come They said he
was profound and strategically astute
But above all I believe he was a man
who loved his country and cherished his people He
understood that heaven's decree could not be
defied yet he tirelessly sought to alter its course
o ease the people'
s suffering and end
the nation's anguish he took no side
He chose to stand with the people with peace
So exactly what did he say to the Mạc family to
ensure their survival for several more generations
What secret advice did he give to Lord
Trinh to maintain power without being
accused of seizing the throne And most
importantly what sacred words did he utter
His efforts helped Lord Nguyen expand
the realm all the way to the southern
frontier shaping the majestic outline of
the Vietnamese nation as it stands today
All those earth-shattering secrets will be
revealed in the coming chapters Don't look away
from the screen because what's
about to be unveiled is nothing short of extraordinary
You're going to be absolutely thrilled by this
We'll dive into the details
of each million-dollar strategy consultation conducted by the state counselor
right after this
After having seen the impressive display and the formidable profile of the ancient giant at
School 1 we will now move on to
school 2 where the grandfather'
s talent truly shone brilliantly
saving an entire dynasty on the brink of extinction
This school is called
Gaobang Cipher Academy
and the Ancient Car of the Mạc Dynasty
Let me tell you about
the context at the time
It was around the mid-16th century when
our Vietnam was plunged into a bloody civil
war known in history as the Northern and
Southern Dynasties period At that time
The Mạc dynasty was in power in Thăng
Long which is now Hanoi Meanwhile in the south
the Lê dynasty backed by support
The imperial throne is rising as a
superpower constantly sharpening its
sword day and night determined to
reclaim its rightful place Put simply
According to gaming sources the
Mạc family at this moment is like a
team being relentlessly pressured by their opponent gasping for air
The main defense is on the verge of collapse soldiers are dying
by the dozens gold is gone and the
commanders are thrown into panic
The king of the Mạc dynasty at the time
could not eat in peace nor sleep in tranquility
fearing that the next morning upon waking he would find the enemy before him
He's already checking in from his bedroom
That unbearable ache deep in his gut
in such a high-stakes make-or-break moment
When all the military advisors were at their
wit's end King Mạc
suddenly remembered one man
Indeed who else but the sage Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm
He is currently in seclusion
at Bạch Vân Hermitage
Yet his reputation remained as prominent as ever
The King of Mạc immediately dispatched a trusted confidant
the highest-ranking courier in the entire court
carrying gold silver and treasures they journeyed long and hard to
Haiphong to seek advice from the elder Something
along the lines of
Grandpa please help me I'm about to die
—where can I run now or should I just
stay here and bleed to
death with them When the messenger arrived at the scene
You weren't even paying attention to
what he was doing you
didn't show the slightest sign of worry or agitation You were calmly watering the plants
The elegance is simply breathtaking The envoy
recounted the dire
circumstances of the Mạc family
Wailing in every imaginable way
After hearing this the elder said nothing
nor did he accept the gift
He simply walked slowly out into the yard
Gazing at the clouds gazing at the sky The messenger
was utterly exhausted sweat pouring from every
pore as if drenched in a shower
Just then the old master
casually uttered a remark speaking to the young monk
sweeping leaves in the courtyard though in
truth it was meant for someone else entirely
Tell the messenger He said: "High
and vast the three ages of Zen
meditation " Translated into modern
Vietnamese it means "to withdraw "
Once back in Cao Bang one
might survive there for
a few more generations Or put more metaphorically
Cao Bằng is a land hidden away where
one finds lasting peace upon arrival
Hearing those eight-character prophecies
the envoy felt as though drowning
Staked and hastily committing it
to memory he
immediately bowed then swiftly rode off at full speed back to Thăng Long to report King Mạc
Hearing it though still
half-believing he couldn't
help but think How could it be Cao Bằng That place
The whole forest is dense monkeys chatter birds cry the
path is treacherous—going up there to become
a forest dweller Well never mind then
The divine words have spoken and there can be no
error And again remaining in Thăng Long means
only one thing—exiting the Earth entirely
Soon the king decided to heed the advice packed his belongings in a gourd-
shaped bag and hastily fled with his
wife children and the remnants of his army
They fled upward in a rush And you know what That
decision to follow the idol
Nguyễn Bình Khiêm's advice—
as become one of the most iconic U-turns in
Vietnamese history Why
Let's analyze together
e slightly elevated terrain of Cao Bang
a region now known to us only through its
breathtaking Ban Gioc waterfall a sight as
beautiful as a painting and its famous dish
The rice here is cheap fragrant
and delicious long ago it was
a naturally fortified impregnable fortress The terrain here
extremely treacherous with endless mountains and peaks
a narrow single path easy to defend hard
to attack The forces of the Lê Trịnh dynasty were stationed below
The flatlands are familiar but coming up here to fight—just expect to eat
onions till your mouth’s full horses
with broken legs soldiers running fever
Defeat before even fighting
Moreover Cao Bằng lies right
next to the Chinese border—a
strategically crucial factor
If pushed too far the Mạc family could
flee across the border for refuge
or invoke the threat of powerful allies to intimidate their opponents
In general both the way forward and the way back are available Old Master Trang Trinh
is truly a master of geography sitting
in Haiphong yet seeing everything clearly
He penetrated deep into the mountainous region of northern Vietnam
He had chosen a safe house for the
Mạc dynasty a place of absolute safety
to preserve their strength
What was the outcome True to the prophecy the
Mạc dynasty after retreating to higher ground managed
to survive for nearly another 100 years
Moreover precisely after three or four generations of kings
it fully fulfilled the Zen verse
of the three ages Three ages
Here it could mean three generations
but it could also imply a large number
suggesting something enduring From
a place that seemed destined to vanish from the map
The Mạc dynasty had the opportunity
to prolong its rule construct palaces
build city walls sustain culture and
hold examinations right on this land
at distant frontier Without the eight
golden characters of Nguyễn Bình Khiêm
the Mạc dynasty might have been wiped out right then and there
Thang Long in 1592
history will record that
the Mac dynasty was a brief reign
and tragic but thanks to the
efforts of the elder scholar the Mạc
dynasty was granted nearly a century more to breathe to survive
and left a lasting impression
This story reveals
the terrifying vision of
Nguyen Binh Khiem He not only understood
past predicting the future and even fully grasping
the advantages of terrain and harmony among people He knew the fate of the
Mạc dynasty had reached its peak in Thăng Long yet it had not completely come to an end
In this world he only showed
them one path to live one path
not for victory but for survival
In life sometimes winning
What matters isn't who lives
longer than whom right guys But
that's not all The amazing thing
about Old Master's longevity is
Not only did he stop at saving the Mạc family do you
remember in the beginning I
mentioned he didn't choose
Who else could it be Yes he was truly
fair After saving the Mạc family he turned around
and pointed the way forward
The very enemy of the Mạc dynasty was
none other than Lord Trinh Wait hello
Why are you suddenly being so comedic
No that's not it—this is actually called
That’s how you maintain balance in the realm
So exactly what did you say to Lord
Trinh to stop Lord Trinh from seizing it
The king's throne A phrase that
sounds at first like advice to renounce
the world but upon deeper reflection reveals the ultimate pinnacle
of political art Keeping the
temple to honor the Buddha ensures
safety How profound is this saying And how has it become
How did the unique Lê-Trịnh
royal regime unparalleled in
Vietnamese history come to
be The answer lies in School 3
But before moving on to school 3 I'd like you
to take 30 seconds to
reflect on the command head
of the elder Trạng Trình Amidst
the chaos of the world where
everyone sought to cut down and fight over power the elder
calmly presented solutions so that
everyone has a place and a way to
survive the Mạc dynasty rose to
power and Lord Trinh upheld authority
The king Lê possessed enduring power
He was like a great referee
dividing the pie of power
to prevent the people from suffering
Blood was flowing so heavily from
his head Returning to the high-level encryption case
many people said it was possible that Nguyễn Bình Khiêm
I've already traveled up high before
so I know exactly what you mean—unless
of course you've got a drone powered
by rice Just kidding but in my opinion
It was the synthesis of profound military
geography knowledge and exceptional
forecasting ability He had a thorough
understanding of strengths and weaknesses
of each region each family lineage
and another intriguing aspect—that
is why he aided the Mạc dynasty
While later feudal historical records
commonly known as the Ngự Dynasty the
Mạc family was seen as usurpers but with
Nguyễn Bình Khiêm who had once passed
the imperial examination as top scholar
and served in the court of the Mạc
dynasty He understood that King Mạc
Đầu Triều Mạc Đăng Dung was originally
a man of talent and integrity
o stabilize the nation after the crisis
of the early Lê dynasty that sense
of kinship and loyalty combined with
lenient governance toward the people
It had caused him to reveal a
celestial secret yet he also knew that
everything has its limits The
Three Ages Zen Retreat is a promise
limited in duration He granted the Mạc
dynasty a period of time but not eternity
for the wheel of history must keep turning
and new forces will inevitably arise
Stronger more deserving
—must
emerge So who is this new force And Nguyễn Bình Khiêm—
How did they pave the way for them
The story becomes increasingly captivating
with surprising plot twists
that even Hollywood action screenwriters
We have to admit defeat We've just concluded the mission to decode
the eight golden characters that
saved the Mạc family What a moment
Strategic consultation worth the
entire Jiangshan realm—yet that was
merely an appetizer In the next chapter
we'll dive into a thrilling twist
Handling it was even more delicate than navigating political
intrigue involving the most sensitive
relationship in history King Lê
and Lord Trinh Prepare yourselves
for chapter 3 the pinnacle of psychological
manipulation by the state official
For the mighty sovereign's relentless pursuit
See you all in chapter 3
right after this
We've seen the old gentleman save
the Mạc family A goal conceded
seemed to rise as high as a one-million-vnd airplane ticket
In this chapter we'll witness
another masterclass in strategic
consulting This time the client is
none other than the rival himself
The Mạc dynasty's legacy combined with
Lord Trinh's counsel not only saved
a life this time but also gave rise
to a uniquely distinct political system
Bình Dương has never seen in Vietnamese
history a model of a country with two kings
Chapter 3 respectfully begins with the title "Preserving the Temple to Honor the Buddha "
e art of manipulating power by the Trinh lords
To grasp the grand scale
of this story we must go back
At that sensitive moment
the Mạc family had already
fled northward to higher ground In Thăng Long
The Lê dynasty had regained control
but in truth the power was entirely
in the hands of one man despite the
name "Lê" being merely a figurehead
The strong man named
Zheng Jian now resembled
a chief executive officer in complete control
The company's shares belong to Dai Viet while King
Le was merely a figurehead chairman of
the board there for show Trinh Kiem was the one actually
commanding the troops and holding the real power
Money holding the power of life and death
And of course that glittering golden
throne it was incredibly alluring
Trinh Kiem spent his days and nights in restless turmoil hands clasped beneath his chin in deep
thought—should he just overthrow this puppet king
Go ahead let me take over and become
king—gives it proper legitimacy doesn
't it Who wouldn't want to be king Getting to wear the robes after all
long reign seated on the throne
immortalized in history books But life
is not as simple as weaving
a basket Zheng Kian has arrived as well
What are you talking about Targeting public opinion
is one thing but going after rival factions is
another—ten times more intense At that time the
remnants of the Mạc dynasty still lingered and then came
Other generals are also
watching closely If Trinh
Kiem is known as a usurper a traitorous rebel
It would be easy to get surrounded and
attacked by everyone at that point one would
be truly caught between a rock and a hard
place—unable to advance yet unable to retreat
It just wouldn't go away—the nagging sensation
like ants crawling in my
stomach So true to form I
The standard procedure for VIPs back then
Zheng Jian suddenly recalled the 108 online consultation hotline
wasn't it
own as Nguyen Binh Khiem He sent his most trusted confidant on a
secret arduous journey to Hai Phong
to seek guidance and instructions
The question was very brief and
to the point: Should I install a Lê
dynasty ruler as king The envoy from
Trịnh Kiểm arrived at Am Bạch Vân
With bated breath and laden with generous gifts but you
know how the old man is—getting
him to agree is never easy
But the elder simply replied flatly—yes or no
If you speak like that what's left of the heavenly secret
That's far too mundane
When the envoy arrived he was ignored
without so much as a direct word The
elder simply pretended not to see him
then invited the envoy for a stroll
The old man entered the temple
Once inside he lit incense
and prayed with deep sincerity Then turning around he
The young monk sweeping jackfruit leaves muttered a casual
remark—but in truth it was a
straight punch to the messenger's ear
This year's seed rice isn't good so you'd better sow old rice
seeds to raise seedlings—only then can you
be sure of a harvest Not only that
Move on continuing to the Buddha Hall Gazing up at the solemn statue of the Buddha he muttered
under his breath: "Keeping the Buddha
Hall clean ensures peace and tranquility "
With that the elder waved his hands and walked away leaving the messenger standing bewildered like
a cow wearing a hat amidst the chaos
emple courtyard But the messengers of those lords back then were all
common folk not stone-hearted so he
managed to extract the information
Very quickly He
paused then snapped
his fingers Ah I see now old master
It's quite revealing The old rice seed here refers to
the lineage of the Lê family What the elder meant is
even though the Lê family is now weak
Even if the reputation were as shattered as a
dirty moon the Le family's brand would still
remain highly respected people would still
trust it and public loyalty would still endure
Planting old seeds means relying solely on the nominal authority of the Lê
dynasty to win the people's favor thereby ensuring
a bountiful harvest in the political realm
As for the temple venerating the Buddha
eating glutinous rice cakes is the
pinnacle of manipulation artistry here
"temple" refers to the state apparatus
It's the golden dragon The
Buddha here is King Lê What is
oản Oản is fortune benefit
real power That's what you mean
Trạng Trình wanted to remind Trịnh
Kiểm that he shouldn't teach others to
destroy temples or smash Buddha statues
he should just leave the statue alone
The king's Buddha is placed there for show
giving the people a focal point to bow before
and place their faith in he simply accepts
the role of temple caretaker the guardian
As long as the temple remains sacred
and the Buddha still sits there then
all the blessings offerings and real power
that come with it will endure
Go ahead and eat it all—no one’
s going to argue with you After
hearing the report from the Messenger Cheng Jian seemed as if
Awakening coming to full consciousness
the nightmare He realized after
all why should he be king bringing
upon himself a wicked reputation
Dangerous Just carry on with
your temple affairs stand behind
the curtain do whatever you want— the king is just a stamp
Just nail the column for legalization
That's the best — you get to be seen
as loyal and still keep your share
And so Cheng Jian decided
not to seize the
throne anymore He pledged allegiance to the Lê emperor
but in reality it meant seizing full control
From then on Vietnamese history
entered a peculiar phase
lasting over 200 years
During the reign of King Lê under the rule of the
Trịnh lords The King Lê sat on the throne but his main role
was merely to nod approval and sign documents
But it was Lord Trinh residing
in his own府 who actually governed
the country led the armies into battle and appointed officials
Common people call the king who resides in the palace while the lord
dwells in the manor Advice on preserving
temples and venerating the Buddha
e safety of Trang Trinh
not only rescued Trinh
Kiem from the trap of power but also helped stabilize
If Trinh Kiem refuses the throne
other forces will surely use
the pretext of supporting Lê and eliminating Trinh to rise up
War will continue endlessly
By holding onto the banner
of the Lê dynasty Trinh Kiem managed to eliminate
e pretext for the opponent's rebellion This is known
as the tactic of borrowing wind to break bamboo
or in modern marketing terms
gaining brand authority through association but
Taking control of operations
The brilliance of Trang Trinh lies in
his recognition of the harsh reality
that the Le dynasty had run its course as a ruling force
yet still holds symbolic spiritual value
The Trinh family however possessed real power
but lacked legitimate authority
He fitted those two awkward pieces
together to form a
relatively stable picture
He didn’t tell Trinh Kiem to be good
he only told him to be wise
And that wisdom is what enabled the Trinh family
Carrying on the family line to rule for over a dozen generations just as the
elder had foretold—eating dumplings until their mouths were full
Many people say that Trạng Trình—
He was the one standing at the crossroads pointing in
all directions aimlessly But no each
of his gestures was deliberate
It was all a carefully calculated
deeply empathetic move He knew the people had suffered enough from war A peaceful
resolution was the only way forward
Even if it seems a bit odd it's
better than a bloodbath over the
seat Moreover there's a little
conspiracy theory at play here
which historians and scholars often debate
It was the matter of Trạng Trình advising Trịnh Kiểm to uphold the Lê dynasty
precisely to restrain the Trịnh family themselves
As long as King Lê remains Lord Trịnh is merely
a subject and cannot act
with unchecked authority
He still had to tread carefully
mindful of public opinion—using a
weak force to constrain a
powerful beast now that was skillful indeed
Thus with just six words —
Nguyễn Bình Khiêm — a lasting
power structure was established
for northern Vietnam
For centuries the Mạc rose to power
by maintaining their network while
the Trịnh preserved their authority by holding the reins of power
Everyone has their part everyone is happy
But wait
there's still one more person trembling
In the shadows trembling at the thought of facing Lord Trinh's wrath
This man bears the surname Nguyen
a descendant of loyal court officials
now standing on the brink of purging
To uproot the weeds completely
That person is Nguyen Hoang
Would Trang Trinh abandon this man
And does he have another brilliant strategy
up his sleeve to save a dynasty inadvertently
opening the most glorious new chapter in
the history of the Vietnamese nation
The answer lies in the legendary
four golden characters: Hoành Sơn
Nhất Đái This is truly the
pinnacle the master chef of prophecy
of political geography These four
words didn't just save a person—they
completely redrawn the map of Vietnam
extending our territory all the way down to
Cape Cà Mau Without these four characters perhaps today
we wouldn't have the dazzling
Saigon nor the Mekong Delta
The rivers and streams where are they now my friends
What did the old Scholar say to Nguyễn Hoàng
And how did Nguyễn Hoàng carry
out that great southern expansion
o transform this barren land
into the nation's rice and
wealth paradise everything will be revealed
In Chapter 4
Hoành Sơn Nhất Đái and the Great
Journey of Expanding the Realm
Welcome back everyone to
the Historical Mysteries
Decoded segment with Professor Biết Tuốt
In the previous episode we witnessed the pinnacle of psychological manipulation by the
royal attendant who calmly sat eyes fixed on
the golden bowl effortlessly calming Lord Trinh
In this chapter the story
takes a sharper turn
This is the most crucial chapter
I must emphasize that what matters most is
what shapes the very
form of our Vietnam today
Chapter 4 titled "The Great
Founding of the Nguyễn Lords
' Historic Entrepreneurship " summarizes the following:
The family drama at the time was intense beyond measure
After Trinh Kiểm's father-in-law Nguyen Kim passed
away Trinh Kiểm seized full control of the power
To consolidate his dominant position
Zheng Jian launched a campaign
to eliminate potential rivals with
Nguyen Ung being the first victim
The biological brother of Nguyễn Hoàng
In a mysterious way everyone
who looks knows who the culprit
is yet no one dares to speak
up At this moment Nguyễn Hoàng
Nguyễn Kim's second son is
in a life-or-death situation
as the Zen Z saying goes—he'
s lying on the chopping block
Just waiting for Zheng Jian to lower his knife and it would vanish
into thin air— Nguyen Hoang was terrified truly terrified
losing sleep and appetite day and night until
He had to feign madness to lower
Trinh Kiem's guard but he knew this ruse couldn't last forever—sooner
or later it would be discovered
Even the thorn in the eye will be removed in the end
In the moment of greatest despair
when the door to life grows narrow
and the gate to death lies wide and open
Nguyễn Hoàng once again recalled the familiar
address of Trạng Trình Nguyễn Bình Kim's Am
Bạch Vân he secretly dispatched his most trusted aide to seek advice on how to save his life
This question is a matter of life and death
Where must I go to avoid being killed by my brother-in-law
Same old room layout
The elder scholar did not give a direct answer
He led the messenger to the
rock garden pointing toward the
artificial hill where ants were crawling about in disarray
and exclaimed the legendary proclamation
A phrase that changed the fate of an entire nation
Hoành Sơn one glance
a thousand generations of peace and prosperity
That peak of Mount
Hoành once a sanctuary
could shelter countless generations
Upon hearing these words
the envoy reported back
Nguyễn Hoàng suddenly saw gold
He immediately opened Google Maps
driven by hunger in his mind
to look up Hoành Sơn
at's where the monkeys call out among the wild grasses
It turns out this is precisely the mountain pass
the natural boundary today
between Ha Tinh and Quang Binh provinces
At the time the region south
of Hoành Sơn—nowadays the
Hue and Quang Nam areas—remained
a remote untamed frontier
Wild forests and treacherous
waters sparse population
bandits rampant—quite simply a godforsaken land
Eating chicken bones eating pebbles—no one pays
attention But Nguyễn Hoàng believes in the far- reaching vision of the platform understanding
that to survive one must
look beyond the immediate
e must vanish from Zheng Jian's sight
as far and as quickly as possible and that desolate dog-eat-stone wasteland
is the only place where he can now build
A private empire of his own free from the tyranny of the feudal lords
in the North—thus Nguyễn Hoàng devised and executed his own strategy
He asked his sister Ngọc Bảo—
also the wife
of Trịnh Kiểm—to
speak to her husband saying "
My dear I'm so fond of Hoàng "
He's gone
mad I'm afraid to keep him at home worried he'll trouble me
Maybe I should send him to guard Shunhua District
That place is overrun with bandits
Leave it there—it’ll help me clean up the mess and keep it far from the
capital so it doesn’t irritate my eyes
Trịnh Kiểm found that quite agreeable
He calculated quickly: first pushing
his brother-in-law away would reduce
worries about him turning against him
second the Shunhua region was a place where
Sacred forest treacherous waters — shoving it there is
like pushing someone to their doom if we're lucky it'll
only be a few years before it succumbs to malaria and dies
That way we won't be blamed for killing my wife's brother
A single arrow hits two targets —
absolutely brilliant — and thus Trinh Kiem swiftly signed the decree granting Nguyen
Hoang a small contingent of soldiers
Then send him off immediately and without delay
But Trinh Kiem never expected that
By releasing the tiger back into the wild
Nguyen Hoang now moved with ease like a fish finding water
Like a stream meeting clouds with innate
leadership talent and the visionary
mindset of a true entrepreneur Nguyễn
Hoàng transformed that barren land
Became a prosperous kingdom
King Chao Hien Dai Shi
Reduced taxes for the people
Encouraged commerce
Before long
The inner court grew wealthy
Sam Ut
Foreign trading ships arrived and departed constantly
From the convenient dock area
The successive lords continued
advancing southward expanding
their territory into Bình Định Phú Yên and Khánh Hòa
Then entering the Mekong Delta
Vast and boundless
This process lasted several hundred years
Transforming the map of Vietnam
From merely reaching the Ngang
Pass it now stretches endlessly
down to Cape Cà Mau encompassing the entire South China Sea
Try to imagine this: what if
back then Trịnh had not only moved
southward but also ordered Nguyễn
Hoàng to head north or west instead
Now there's no more glamorous
Saigon no more Nha Trang no more Da
Lat no more Western Mekong Delta wives who feed the entire nation
The prophecy of Hoang Son's single sigh
Not only saved Nguyen Hoang's life
But also represented a geopolitical vision
Ahead of its time by several centuries
The official had witnessed the
terrifying potential of the South he knew that the North was
overcrowded and densely populated
The cramped terrain makes breakthrough development
nearly impossible—only the southern region
with its fertile land and the serene Cà Bao La Sea is truly a haven where birds find safe refuge
A lasting sanctuary for generations to come
For the "ten thousand generations" mentioned in the prophecy
The Nguyễn dynasty was not speaking lightly
It implies eternal permanence Historical
reality has proven this prophecy
accurate to the point of self-
sacrifice The Nguyễn dynasty later on
Not only did it exist but it also became the last feudal
dynasty and had the largest
territory in Vietnamese history
The Nguyen family once
oppressed and forced to flee
ultimately rose to become
masters of half the realm
And later came the unification
of the entire江山 under Emperor
Gia Long a remarkably interesting
detail that few have noticed
That is why Trạng Trình chose the phrase "nhất đái một giải" rather
than any other term—here "Giải Hoành
Sơn" refers to the Hoành Sơn Pass
Serving as a natural fortress a protective
shield for the Nguyen dynasty the
treacherous Ngang Pass ensured that
northern forces could not easily advance
How many times he drew in his breath to strike—each attempt blocked the bitter taste
in his throat impossible to swallow despite
the advantage of terrain and unity of spirit
Many people say that
Trạng Trình Nguyễn Bình Khiêm
was Vietnam's greatest master architect
in history
He did not wield a sword to expand the realm nor did he personally sign the
order to launch troops yet it was precisely
his thinking that charted the course
Expanding the nation's生存 space
He is like a Go player
Just place one stone on the board
It reshaped the entire global
chessboard and guess what— the
wonder didn't stop there When the
Lord of Origin entered the South
They carried their culture
with them—beliefs and
especially a spirit of openness and generosity
It is precisely the blend of Northern Highlands traditions with the
freshness of a new land that has given
rise to this unique cultural identity
The generous spirit of people from the South today began
with a piece of advice a
prophecy and a courageous decision
Of the immortals Thus
With just a few concise lines of poetry
Trang Trinh had already arranged the order
Of the three most powerful forces of that time
The Mạc Dynasty Lord Trinh and Lord
Nguyen—each had their share each
had their domain to play out their
roles—but history never stands still
After centuries of division the
balance of power has shifted once more
giving rise to a new force—born
from common farmers in plain clothes
Suddenly rising like a storm
they swept away both the Trinh and
Nguyen factions unifying the land—this was the Tây Sơn dynasty
With the heroic figure in plain cloth Quang
Trung Nguyên Huệ could Trang Trinh have foreseen
Was the Tây Sơn uprising
responsible for this turmoil
And what did he say about the party's collapse
Just as the restoration of the Nguyễn dynasty
would later occur so too do
these prophecies foretell the chaotic upheaval of this age when heaven and earth are thrown into turmoil
Far more fascinating and extraordinary than that
We’ll uncover this mystery together
In Chapter 5
The Thunder of Trang Trinh and the Three Kingdoms
' Battlefield of Meaning — Vietnamese Edition —
Tay Son Era — Don't change the channel yet because what's coming next is going to be unforgettable
You'll be amazed
Wow how did you know that
See you all again shortly
In the previous episode we
saw Old Trạng Trình as a great
master architect who had
completed the map of Vietnam
With the divine gesture of Hoanh Son's single glance the Lord Nguyen
unlocked the southern lands—thought
it would be smooth sailing from there
The Trinh and Nguyen families continued
dividing the land between them—one side
holding the outer party the other the inner
party—each attending to their own duties
But life isn't like a dream
And the script of Vietnamese historical drama
Is full of twists that just keep coming
Today we're diving into chapter 5
The phase I call
the Vietnamese version of the Avengers Clash
This chapter is titled
Thunder of Trạng Trình and the Three Kingdoms Manifesto
During the Tây Sơn era Fasten your seatbelts
This period was extremely chaotic
Fighting everywhere constant explosions
The king and emperor kept logging out and back in repeatedly
First fast-forward to around 200 years later
After the prophecy of Hoành Sơn's single sigh
At this time the Lê dynasty under the rule of
the Trịnh lords in the North and the Nguyễn lords in the South both began showing clear signs of
severe decline with officials
increasingly corrupt
The public is suffering hardship
Generally speaking both Trinh and Nguyen
family-owned companies are drowning in bad debt
They're practically on the brink of bankruptcy already
At this very moment from the land
of Binh Dinh—Võ Trời Văn—emerged
the three Tay Son brothers: Nguyen
Nhac Nguyen Hue and Nguyen Lu
These brothers started out as
simple cloth-clad farmers but their
skills were truly extraordinary—especially the hero Nguyễn Huệ
He would later become King Quang Trung
This is precisely Factor X
The one who will overturn the entire old order
The very structure that the official had once established
Many people will wonder: Wait did
the old scholar actually know about
this beforehand or was he only
calculating for the noble gentlemen
As for the peasant rebels the old man
was at a loss—please forgive me sir I
know all about it I’ve already spoiled it
centuries in advance in the early draft
There is a famously renowned poem
Foretelling this chaos
Long banners rise at the distant frontier heralding war
Horses gallop through every land swords clash in every village
Hero's footprints shine bright In
the final days of the old year the arrival of Taiping is seen
Literally translated in Gen Z slang:
End-of-year start-of-year snake
There will be fierce fighting
Bullets fly everywhere the battlefield is utterly desolate
By the time the horse and goat years arrive
Heroes and mighty men fall like ripe fruit
it won't be until the Year of the Monkey
and the Year of the Rooster that peace and
prosperity will return—and you know what
Looking back at history it's accurate
and doesn't require explanation—the Tây
Sơn uprising erupted vigorously sweeping
away the Nguyễn lords at Đàng Trong
Then turn around and head north to utterly destroy the Lord Trinh eliminate the
entire Qing invading force and the whole
nation sinks into the smoke and flames of war
Just as the old powers once
rose to prominence like Trinh Sam
Trinh Khai or Lord Nguyen Phuc
Thuan who each ruled in their time
Each one sequentially met their end
In this phase
Corresponding to the hero's final stand
But the most remarkable aspect
Had to be the prophecy itself
On the fall of Lord Trinh
There is a legend that before his death
Trang Trinh left behind a stone tablet buried and hidden
There it says:
The Dui palace one morning transformed
The lord departs the lord returns
This line is quite puzzling isn't it
The term "Đoài palace" here refers to the residence
of Lord Trịnh as the Đoài trigram corresponds
to the west and the lord's residence
was located in the western part of Thăng Long Citadel
The Lord of Debt is none other than
King Lê Chiêu Tông famed for his
legendary debts and he served as
the representative of the Lê dynasty
And who is the lord's return
Many explain it as the appearance
of a half-breed figure or an
unexpected change from outside
And the event unfolded exactly as predicted
In the year 1786
Nguyễn Huệ under the title Phù
Lê Diệt Trịnh led his troops northward in the blink of an
eye he had conquered the region
The Tây Sơn army utterly defeated the Trịnh forces Trịnh Khải fled in panic and later
took his own life bringing an end
to the Trịnh family's 200-year-old legacy
The empire that Trạng Trịnh once vowed
to preserve—protecting the temple that
honors the Buddha—has finally reached
the point of collapse Why has it fallen
They had forgotten their ancestor 's
warning growing increasingly dominant over the Lê
king becoming arrogant and haughty
Let heaven deal with it—Lord Trinh said eating rice dumplings is fine but trying to eat the whole
incense bowl is just foolish ambition
After suppressing the Trinh and Nguyen factions Quang Trung Nguyen
Hue ascended the throne and established
the renowned Tay Son dynasty
But this dynasty was so brief
as to be truly regrettable
Would Lord Trinh have seen
this Yes indeed my friends
Proverbial wisdom passed down through generations says:
The true source of prosperity lies in clear flowing water
Sounds like foreign language doesn't it
Yet this is simply a poetic expression
The ancient wisdom of the
sages was deeply connected
to the names of historical
figures and their destinies
But there's a simpler more commonly cited phrase
that people often refer to
when discussing the return of the Nguyễn dynasty
It's "the father's head turns upside down "
The earth flips up into the sky
Scary right
Some people say this line hints at a tragic death
Son of King Quang Trung King
Quang Toản — when persecuted
by the Nguyen dynasty — but from another perspective
It is again a depiction of social upheaval during the Tây
Sơn era—farmers with muddy feet
and hands the sons of farmers
The commoners rise to become kings
generals soar to the heavens while the old aristocrats and royalty remain stuck at the
top their heads bowed beneath the new class
Then beaten to a pulp leaves and all
Forced to hide scrambling desperately underground
But then
History's wheel turns once more
Nguyễn Ánh the last surviving heir
Of the Nguyễn lords
After years of wandering in exile overseas
Lying in wait near the Thai border
seeking aid from France and ultimately
returning for revenge—this is the most
resilient figure in Vietnamese history
Fleeing in panic from the Tay
Son forces countless times
yet never dying—still
determined to make a comeback
And the forecast appears to have reserved
a slot for this momentous event of
unifying the land—namely the unification
of the Southern River into a single entity
More specifically the forecasts about
a man from the Nguyen family once again ruling the country
Nguyen Anh defeating the Tay Son
ascending the throne as emperor
Adopting the era name Gia Long
This name carries deep significance
"Gia" means securing the South
"Long" refers to Thang Long
the North
Joining together means unifying the North and South for the first time in
hundreds of years of division the map
of Vietnam has been seamlessly connected
From Nam Quan to Cape Cà Mau the
journey once known as the Hoành Sơn
oath now in the present day has
been upgraded to an expanded version
Not only did he sacrifice himself but he also took control of everything
After a chaotic and intense struggle
the final balance of power among the Trịnh Nguyễn
and Lê in the Three Kingdoms era was finally settled
The Nguyen family officially took control of the situation
As envisioned by
the esteemed Trang Trinh A path to survival was laid out for the Nguyen clan
And even when it seemed hopeless at times
The Nguyen family continued down that
path to reach glorious success
yet the tale of Trang Trinh's thunderous prophecy extends far beyond the feudal era
They say the old man's
vision pierced through time
all the way to the 20th
and even the 21st centuries
There are prophecies so bizarre that reading them makes you
swear the old man must be sitting there watching TV news as if
the current VTV bulletin had rewritten them
What did Trạng Trình foretell about the emergence of
Western empires and the great
wars of national defense
In the 20th century and
especially there were
prophecies speaking about
our fate in the near future
Chapter 6 will be a major explosion
When we dive into the mysteries of the modern era
So brace yourself mentally and emotionally
What’s about to be revealed
Might just give you goosebumps
Thanks to its precision down to the last centimeter
See you all in chapter 6
Welcome back everyone
to the series Cooling the Thunder of Trang Trinh
where even the most stone-hearted minds have to twist and turn
Because of the brain's complexity in
previous chapters we've only talked
about ancient times when your
grandparents hadn't even been born yet
In this sixth chapter
we will witness
prophecies reaching out with octopus-like tendrils
all the way to our own era
Yes you're not mistaken —
it's the modern era the 20th
century and even the 21st
century chapter six titled
Mysterious guardian of the river
and the prophetic lines about
modern Vietnam — can you believe
it A person who
lived 500 years ago
The era when the finest mode of transport was a horse-drawn
carriage could still witness the
emergence of tanks and airplanes
And even those earth-shattering revolutions
of the 20th century—so surreal they make
it seem as if the old scholar Trang Trinh had traveled through time to the future
Sitting on a sidewalk stool sipping iced tea scrolling through news online then
finally returning to the past to write prophecies like that
Let us begin with a world-shaking event
A turning point that completely altered the fate of the Vietnamese nation
The August Revolution of 1945
Is this event within your scope
The answer is yes
And it's contained within an extremely famous prophecy
The rooster's dawn stirs the ancient past
Bright light shines upon Thang Long
Now
Turn on the legendary detective mode of Conan
To analyze: the start
of the season is when
It's August of the lunar calendar—Hanoi 's
autumn is rich with the fragrance of
night-blooming jasmine What is "gà gái"
In 1945
That was the Year of the Chili Pepper
Meaning the Year of the Rooster
The commotion here was nothing short of electrifying energy
The people rise up in rebellion
The ancient glory shines upon Thăng Long
Signifying the nation reclaiming its independence
The light of freedom
The sunlight shining upon the ancient capital
of Thăng Long—today's Hanoi—was precise to the millimeter at noon as if the old scholar
Trạng Trình were narrating the event live
At Ba Dinh Square that's not all—there 's one more chilling line left also
believed to refer to this period and
it's even more unsettling to hear
Ninth ninth heaven's strength clears
the brightness flowers fade with
the season straight
to the sun's peak
the northern star's eight soldiers
Entering the site is a mystery
There are many interpretations of this statement
Each teacher has their own take
But there's one conspiracy theory that's incredibly compelling
Internet users often jokingly say
that nine-nine equals two nines
added together or multiplied referring
to some significant date or time
But what's truly worth discussing is the
phrase "Hồ Binh Bát Vạn Nhập Trang An"
It's the part about Trang An being the capital
that stands out Here Trang An refers to the capital city much like Chang'an in China
Many interpret the term "
Hồ binh" here as referring
to the army of a leader whose surname is Hồ
Or related to the revered name of President Ho Chi M
But thinking about it
Gives you goosebumps doesn't it
But the greatest mystery
The one that has puzzled generation after generation of researchers
Headache-inducing This is the prophecy about Bao Giang
The original text of the prophecy is
Bao Giang the holy sage emerges without battle and victory comes naturally
Translated as
A sage will appear on the Bao Giang River
Success will come effortlessly without conflict
Sounds delightful doesn't it
A victory achieved without ever having to fight a single battle
But the problem is
What river is this Bao Giang
And who is this sage
For centuries people have been racing to find out
This river Bao Giang some say is
the Red River others claim it's the
Da River and still others insist it 's
a river from the Farthest Reaches
On the ship
But there's a explanation that sounds very reasonable
And is distinctly Vietnamese in geographical context
Rather than claiming it's in Chinese
And means precious
Jiang is river
Our Vietnam has many rivers
But which river is closely associated
With the modern sage
Many people immediately think of the homeland of President Ho Chi Minh
in Nghe An
where the Lam River and Hong Mountain flow
and strangely the prophecy also contains a line stating
The Hong Lam five-hundred-year destiny
Refers to the land of Hong Lam a place of profound significance
Its fate will be intertwined with that of the
nation Over the course of five centuries
Could this coincidence
be mere chance
or had the elder foreseen the emergence of the great leader
It will usher the nation into a new chapter of history
Whether that's true depends on personal belief
And individual reasoning
But clearly it's utterly logical
And then we once again have
prophecies said to speak of the current
era of reform and integration
such as the following example:
The Dậu year's arrival brought peace to
the land—this line was once interpreted
as referring to the Tây Sơn era yet it
strangely resonates with modern history
After years of border war and
the hardships of the rationing
era through the early 1990s
our country began to open up
The economy is rising and genuine peace is being firmly established
Peace here
It's not just the end of gunfire
But also prosperity and progress
In particular there's an extremely
viral legend from Hai Phong the
hometown of the Old Scholar about a prophecy concerning the day he would return
It is said that he left behind the words:
"When the Han River's twin streams are
once again joined I shall return " Long ago the people would read these lines
Go ahead and laugh saying the old man'
s just bluffing—Tien Lang is a mainland
county how could it possibly be opposite
anything The Han River is vast and boundless
No matter how you connect it by boat
But with the rise of technology
People were suddenly shocked
The most fantastical idea would be digging a new river
Either the irrigation canal system divides
this county or some urban planning project does—while the Han River's reunification is
achieved through the construction of bridges
Today the barrier bridge the
bridge of remembrance
and countless
modern bridges have linked the two
banks of the river in Hai Phong
So going back means what exactly Could it be
that the old captain has come back to life like in
a zombie movie No don't misunderstand it that
way—don't take it so literally and frighteningly
People believe that my return means
the thoughts of the elder
the cultural values and wisdom of the elder
will once again be honored by future generations
More vibrant than ever
And truly the historical site
Trang Trinh Temple in Hai Phong
Now bustling and grand as ever
the name of this
esteemed figure adorns the city's most beautiful streets and finest schools
Isn't that a glorious return
The legend of Thach Trang Trinh
In the 21st century
Not only limited to politics
or war many online influencers
are also trying to falsely attribute poems to the elder
Economic conditions
Stock markets
Or even pandemics
For example the recent global pandemic
Some people even bring up thunder to
make idle remarks—this was the very person
who warned about the epidemic Well that’s pushing speculation a bit too far
Luxurious appearances can easily deceive making them
seem like genuine gold we must remain清醒 we should
selectively absorb information
don't blame everything on
the old scholar poor man he's been through so much
But one thing remains undeniable: the
shiver of recognition when witnessing
history repeating itself in cycles
meticulously drawn by those who came before
Trạng Trình spoke of the law of cause and effect
explaining that the rise and fall of dynasties depends on
whether an era aligns with the people's will—prosperity follows when a time is in harmony with the people
Whenever corruption and decay
prevail decline follows — that law was
true 500 years ago and it remains true 500 years from now
And in another 5 000 years it’ll still be perfectly accurate
So in short
Is Xam Trang Trinh still effective for the future
Could you leave behind any
insight predicting when Vietnam
will win the World Cup or when
land prices will finally drop
Can Gen Z actually afford to buy a home
Unfortunately official documents
don't mention it
But who knows
Lost folk tales hidden in oral tradition still hold untold secrets
waiting to be deciphered—perhaps
the key lies right there all along
In those idle verses we read
every day yet
lack the insight
to comprehend we're living
in the era he calls Shangyuan
According to some calculations in numerology
a new cycle of the universe is beginning—
everything is transforming before our eyes driven
by AI technology robotics and virtual reality
Metaverse These things he surely wouldn't name directly
Yet the philosophy of ceaseless transformation
Here we have journeyed far from the
past to the present—starting with
saving the Mạc dynasty aiding Lord
Trịnh and paving the way for Lord Nguyễn
According to modern forecasts the
mind of the scholar Nguyễn Bình
Khiêm was truly a quantum
supercomputer powered by cosmic energy
He left behind not only prophecies but also an
unshakable faith that the
destiny of the Vietnamese natio
Divine blessings are always present ancestral protection
is assured and most importantly success lies in the hands of those who align with the rhythms of
heaven the advantages of earth and the harmony of people
So what is the final lesson the elder wishes to convey to our Gen Z and Gen Alpha generation
Is it simply to sit around with mouths open
waiting for opportunities to fall into our laps
Wait for the early transmission of insight
Or must one write their own destiny with their own hands
The answer lies within the final realm
Realm 7
The spiritual legacy
And a message from five hundred years ago
Don't rush to turn off the machine
Because this final part
Will be an incredibly profound reflection
Helping you not only understand
history but also learn how
to live with integrity in these
turbulent times See you again
At the final school just ahead
This seventh school
the final school
We will strip away the mysterious cloak of a prophet
To meet a more down-to-earth Nguyễn
Bình is to encounter someone profoundly
gentle and humble—a great teacher
a master of healing ways of life
Ahead of its time by 500 years
This school is called
Master of the Leisurely Life
And the hard-earned lessons for Generation Z
First of all
Let's talk about the philosophy of a relaxed life upheld by the elder
Nowadays as soon as we open our eyes
Pressure hits us
Deadlines loom
KBE looms
And we're expected to succeed
Must be wealthy
Must post glamorous check-ins
Everyone and their family
Rush into the rat race
Rat race
Stepping on each other to make money
But half a millennium ago Mr Trang Trinh
quietly shook his head and composed the
famous poem "Nhàn " which surely every
student who has ever studied knows by heart
Also once had to memorize
A single morning a single nation a single
A magical verse rich
Who finds joy in what I teach
I seek a quiet place
Smart people flee to hide
from prison so tell me—does
that hit home While everyone else races to be clever
Fleeing to the mountains to escape the
world officialdom—avoiding political
intrigue power struggles and slander—so the
elder simply considers himself a teacher
To seek out a secluded place
Yet the teaching of the elder is the teaching of a sage
This secluded place refers to
It's not about fleeing into the wilderness to live as a primitive
person it's about inner stillness
and stepping away from toxic energies
Stay away from pointless drama
You understand that fame and
wealth are
fleeting—nothing can
be taken with you when you die
The most important thing is
inner peace—being in control
of your own life Imagine you
were a high-ranking official
Highly respected and esteemed by the king yet the old man was willing to
submit a resignation letter
The old man was heartbroken when he saw the court no longer heeding reason or justice
he returned home to grow vegetables and raise fish then opened
a school to teach children
That is the true demeanor of a
financially free
person—truly free never
allowing money or power to dictate their
life What lesson do we take from this
Being content with what one has is
enough In this era of information
explosion we're easily swept up by
trends driven by the fear of missing out
Seeing people show off their luxury cars and beautiful homes on social media
It makes me feel envious and restless
Then I start feeling insecure and even depressed
But remember what the old saying goes
Trúc hides the fire yet remains straight
Live with honesty
Stay true to yourself
Find joy in life's simple pleasures
That is true lasting happiness
Second The greatest legacy of the state is not prophecies
But the idea
of顺应天意 What is顺应天意
Live in accordance with the natural order of
heaven and earth The master taught that everything in life has its time and season that prosperity
must inevitably be followed by decline
There must be times of fullness as there
are times of emptiness—just like a sine
wave When we truly understand this principle
we won’t suffer so deeply when we fail
It's not arrogance to succeed when
you look back at
the advice given
by the elder just consider what the Mạc Trinh and Nguyen families had to say
He didn’t demand they resist fate itself—when
the Mạc dynasty declined in Thăng Long they had
no choice but to retreat to higher ground when the Lê dynasty lost real power all was lost
Just sit still and be a symbol whoever is in a
position should fulfill their role well—that is
knowing oneself and knowing the enemy and thus
winning a hundred battles with a hundred victories
We Gen Z have this habit
of wanting everything instantly
and always
wanting to get rich quick and become famous overnight
but life doesn’t give anyone everything
If you're facing difficulties remember
the saying: "Even a bamboo shoot
takes time to grow into a mighty bamboo
" meaning everything requires time
Only after enduring the hardships
of those chaotic
wartime years could peace finally arrive No flower could bloom
Sprout immediately after sowing the seeds
Be patient
And finally
an extremely important aspect
that defined the stature of Nguyen Binh Khiem
was his role as an educator and teacher
He is revered as the Master of the Snow River his disciples
are none other than the finest
talents the nation has produced
From Phung Khac Khoan to Luong Hieu Khanh and then to Nguyen Du— he did not
discriminate based on origin anyone
with talent and virtue was taught by him
He trained an entire generation of talent
to serve the nation regardless of which
dynasty they served demonstrating that
commitment to the country's greater good
His stance transcends all political
factions he is the teacher of
all mankind instructing his disciples not merely in bookish knowledge
Teaches the way of human virtue the perspective on life
instills love for country and compassion for the people
his inner integrity shines as brightly as the first star
guides the path for future generations to follow in unity
Concluding our journey of discovery
about the life and times of Nguyễn Bình Khiêm we realize that history
is not merely dry pages
A vast treasure of life
experience embodied by Nguyen Binh
Khiem—possessing transcendent
wisdom and a compassionate heart
Left us a treasure map—this treasure is not
gold silver or precious
goods hidden underground
It is wisdom to see through the nature of life the resilience to
stay true amidst life's ever-changing currents—could these
prophecies of the elder truly hold the truth
Will there still be hope in the future
Only God knows
But one thing is certain
If we learn to live with kindness
And know how to love
Knowing how to contribute and preserving our national cultural identity as our ancestor
advised no matter how turbulent the future may
be Vietnam will remain strong and resilient
They will endure forever
Peace and prosperity will remain
Descendants of noble lineage
Still hold their heads high and march forward
The story of this journey comes to an end here
But reflections on him
Will surely continue forever
