Abstract

The South is the last land in the south of Vietnam, located in the basin of two rivers Dong Nai and Cuu Long (Mekong River), mainly downstream of these two large rivers. The South is located very close to the East Sea, a fertile delta with many estuaries flowing into the sea. This has created a prosperous South Vietnam, with so many legends during the country’s expansion. When studying the Vietnamese personality in the South, researchers cannot help but mention the creative dynamism of the Vietnamese people in this land. This personality is evident in many different aspects such as adapting to the harsh life on new land, material and spiritual cultural factors are transformed to fit with the new conditions. This has created for the people of the South to have unique characteristics that are quite unique to other regions. This study focuses on analyzing the factors that make the difference in the dynamism and creativity of the Southern people and the typical characters, thereby contributing to clarify the rich cultural values of Vietnam.
