中外学者有关法国侵略越南并把它变成殖民地的论著，迄今仍多用法文等外文史料，而对越南的载籍，却少有问津，实为越南近代史研究的一大缺陷。90年代以来，我们有机会多次去越南考察访问，也接待了多批来访的越南学者，交流中得知越南有一部记述19世纪中后期法国人侵越南、越 Chinese and foreign scholars on the French invasion of Vietnam and make it a colony, so far still more use of French and other foreign materials, but the Vietnamese books, but rarely concerned about, in fact, a major flaw in the study of modern history in Vietnam. Since the 1990s, we have had the opportunity to visit Vietnam on many occasions. We also received many Vietnamese scholars who came to visit Vietnam to learn that there is a Vietnamese account of Vietnam’s invasion of Vietnam in the mid-to-late 19th century.
