Annamese Proverbs Translated into French
Annamese Proverbs Translated into French (Tục ngữ An Nam dịch ra tiếng Tây) was compiled by Triệu Hoàng Hòa in the context of Vietnamese–French cultural exchange during the colonial period. The work selects many distinctive proverbs rich in imagery and implication, reflecting the lived experience, folk wisdom, and moral values of the Vietnamese people. Translating them into French not only enabled French-speaking readers to access the wealth of Vietnamese folk wisdom, but also contributed to the introduction, preservation, and study of Vietnam’s intangible cultural heritage in the early 20th century. The book has been digitized by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF).
