Water and mountains
These are the two main components of Vietnamese legend, which isn't surprising when you're passing through a landscape like this. In the beginning there was a mountain fairy and a water dragon who married and produced 100 sons who, in turn, spawned the Vietnamese people. I dunno, but I suppose they made the women up out of their spare ribs or something. It always bemuses me that Vietnamese family trees never have any women in them.

actually, the water dragon female and the mountain fairy male produced 100 children - 50 males, 50 females. Due to their differences, the children were separated, 50 went down to the ocean, and 50 went up to the mountains...from there the history began.
*so really females do date back in this legend
