  Classical Han Chinese (chữ Han) - Vietnam Culture  
During the 1,000 years of Chinese rule over what is now northern Việt Nam, chữ Han (classical Han Chinese, also known as chữ nho) became firmly established as the language of the Vietnamese royal court and would remain so until as late as 1918 when the ancient system of mandarin examinations was finally abolished.

The oldest extant literature written in chữ Han comprises a corpus of 11th century poems written by Buddhist monks. By the 13th and 14th centuries, poems in chữ Han were written for the court by Confucian scholars such as Le Quat, Mạc Đỉnh Chi (1346), Trương Han Sieu (1354), Chu Văn An (1370) and Nguyễn Trung Ngạn (1289-1370). Other important historical works such as Le Văn Hưu's Đại Việt Sử Ky ('Brief History of Đại Việt') and a range of geographical and encyclopaedic volumes were also written in Chữ Han.
