Yan Emperor
Although the supposed "mythology" of the ethnically Vietnamese people (the "Kinh") is not widely known or well documented, the story of Lạc Long Quân and Âu Cơ has been cited as a creation myth. The story details how two progenitors, the man known as the "Dragon Lord of Lạc" and the woman known as the "Lady of Âu", gave birth to a hundred eggs, fifty of which hatched, settled on land and eventually became the Vietnamese people. However, the story, dubbed "Con rồng cháu tiên" ("Descendants of the Dragon and the Fairy"), is labeled as a "truyền thuyết" ("legend"), a "type of folkloric tale about historical characters and events, usually embellished with fantastical elements," and is more akin to other legends (such as the story of Lê Lợi borrowing a sword from a magical turtle) than it is to other cultures' mythologies. The "Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư" proposed more details on the origins of the two progenitors in Chinese mythology, for example on how Lạc Long Quân was the son of Kinh Dương Vương, who was in turn descended from the Yan Emperor and Shennong. Additionally, Ngô Sĩ Liên, the author of the text, cited elements of Chinese mythology (although the details weren't told as if they were mythological fiction, but as fact about events that had actually happened), on Pangu, Shennong and their descendants leading to Kinh Dương Vương, Lạc Long Quân and Âu Cơ, and even commented on the potential familial bond between this couple (Lạc's father Kinh Dương Vương and Âu's grandfather Đế Nghi were brothers, both of Shennong descent).
