Titled “Hao khi ngan nam” (Thousand-year heroic spirit), the series is shown at 21:55 from Monday to Friday with each episode running for five minutes.
Each episode features a historical event, figure or anecdote from the era of Hung Kings, Vietnam’s legendary founders, to the Later Le Dynasty in the late 18th century when the country was divided between the Trinh and Nguyen Lords.
This is the first time that such a long-running animation on Vietnamese history has been produced and broadcast on television.
VTV says the film has been produced in consultation with leading historical experts to ensure the target audience, which mainly consists of children, will gain a general and systematic knowledge of national history.
It is expected that the series will help cultivate a love for national history, cherish patriotism and keep the country’s fine traditions alive.
