The mission of the Khuc family from the perspective of meeting the requirements of Vietnamese history from the end of the 9th century to the end of the 10th century

From the overarching vision of the historical movement in a transitional period of national independence from the end of the 9th century to the end of the 10th century and based on the objective criterion which is the degree of meeting the then historical requirements of historical figures, the article analyzes and evaluates the mission stature of Khuc Thua Du, Khuc Thua Hao and Khuc Thua My in the struggle to regain national independence of Vietnam in the early 10th century. Specifically, the article analyzes the historical requirements for Vietnam's independence and autonomy in the early 10th century as well as the fulfillment of those requirements by Khuc Thua Du, Khuc Thua Hao and Khuc Thua My. Thereby, the article suggests some comments to evaluate the contribution of these characters to Vietnamese history. At the same time, with an overview of the historical evolution of anti-aggression activities to protect Vietnam’s national independence in the next period during the 10th century, the article does some analysis to clarify the profound impacts of the mission of the Khuc family in the encouragement to separate Vietnam from the orbit of Chinese dependency at that time. From these analyses, the article comes to a remark that the great mission to separate Vietnam from Chinese dependency was not of a single person or of a family line but of the entire nation during the 10th century. On the basis of the stepping stone of that transitional century, from the 11th century, the history of Vietnam could turn into a gorgeous page of independence and autonomy, and brilliant development in the next period.
