Vietnam under Chinese rule or Bắc thuộc (北屬, lit. "belonging to the north") (111 BC–939, 1407–1428) refers to four historical periods when several portions of modern-day Northern Vietnam was under the rule of various Chinese dynasties. Bắc thuộc in Vietnamese historiography is traditionally considered to have started in 111 BC, when the Han dynasty conquered Nanyue (Vietnamese "Nam Việt") and lasted until 939, when the Ngô dynasty was founded. A fourth, relatively brief, 20-year rule by the Ming dynasty during the 15th century is usually excluded by historians in their discussion of the main, almost continuous, period of Chinese rule from 111 BC to 939 AD.
The four periods of Chinese rule did not correspond to the modern borders of Vietnam, but were mainly limited to the area around the Red River Delta and adjacent areas. During the first three periods of Chinese rule, the pre-Sinitic indigenous culture was centered in the northern part of modern Vietnam, in the alluvial deltas of the Hong, Cả and Mã Rivers.
Elements of Chinese culture such as language, religion, art, and way of life constituted an important component of traditional Vietnamese culture until modernity.
Periods of Chinese rule
First Era of Northern Domination: 111 BC–AD 40
The first period of Bắc thuộc is traditionally considered to have started following the Western Han's victory in the Han–Nanyue War. It ended with the brief revolt of the Trưng sisters.
Second Era of Northern Domination: AD 43–544
Chinese rule was restored after the Trung sisters' rebellion. The second period of Chinese rule was ended by the revolt of Lý Bôn, who took advantage of the internal disorder of the waning Liang dynasty. Lý Bôn subsequently founded the Early Lý dynasty, with the official dynastic name "Vạn Xuân" (萬春).
Third Era of Northern Domination: AD 602–905
The Sui dynasty reincorporated Vietnam into China following the Sui–Early Lý War. This period saw the entrenchment of mandarin administration in Vietnam. The third period of Chinese rule concluded following the collapse of the Tang dynasty and the subsequent defeat of the Southern Han armada by Ngô Quyền at the Battle of Bạch Đằng. Ngô Quyền later proclaimed the Ngô dynasty.
Fourth Era of Northern Domination: AD 1407–1428
Vietnam was brought under the control of China following the Ming dynasty's defeat of the short-lived Hồ dynasty. The fourth period of Chinese rule ended when the Lam Sơn uprising led by Lê Lợi emerged successful. Lê Lợi then reestablished the Đại Việt kingdom (大越) under the new Lê dynasty.

beat malenia today, i tried a handful of times over a couple of hours before i decided 'fuck this' and summoned someone. cool boss, i guess, but absolute bullshit too.
I am so glad she's optional because holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
She did give us the saga of "Let me solo her for you" and that was one of the coolest moments in gaming community.
yea i read about some of that stuff but in the back of my mind i was always like "how hard could she be?" well folks lemme tell you she's hard
It's been over a year and people are still debating how to even deal with waterfowl dance!
"run away!" "no dodge towards her" "NO STUPID dodge towards her but to the right" "just use another weapon with a backstep lmao" "completely respec into a cheesy blood build"
See you're far braver and more professional than I, I was just screaming and running in circles.
i had everything i should have, 50-60%ish physical damage negation, tiche summon+10 (it's a caster thing), i used frost breath to proc frostbite and then switched to a flame incantation to remove that only to switch immediately back into frost breath repeat over and over. i would've had her many times if not for her FUCKING lifesteal. such a stupid boss. i get why they have ultra hard shit in souls games, and i'm glad they gave me options to get around that hardness. someone in the ER subreddit said something like the game has an active difficulty slider and you can do things at all times to make it easier or harder and i am definitely thankful for that today.
Yeah. ER added a whole lot of systems to make the game more approachable, i really appreciate that. Summons, obviously, but also pokemon for people who don't want to summon, the Mimic Tear specifically. Lots of good stuff. God, i remember when everyone was getting their asses absolutely whupped by Margit, posting about strategies, what was and wasn't possible.
Oh lawd your right LMFAO
