The Trưng sisters (Vietnamese: Hai Bà Trưng, 𠄩婆徵, literally "Two Ladies [named] Trưng", 14 – c. 43) were Luoyue military leaders who ruled for three years after commanding a rebellion of Luoyue tribes and other tribes in AD 40 against the first Chinese domination of Vietnam. They are regarded as national heroines of Vietnam. Their names were Trưng Trắc (chữ Hán: 徵側; Chinese pinyin: Zhēng Cè; Wade–Giles: Cheng¹ Ts'e⁴; Old Chinese: *trəŋ-[ts]rək^[5]) and Trưng Nhị (chữ Hán: 徵貳; Chinese pinyin: Zhēng Èr ; Wade–Giles: Cheng¹ Erh⁴; Old Chinese: *trəŋni[j]-s^[5]).

Trung sisters' rebellion

Vietnamese rebellion against Chinese rule (40–43 CE)

The Trưng sisters' rebellion was an uprising in the Jiaozhi province of Han dynasty (today Northern Vietnam) between 40 CE and 43 CE. In 40 CE, the Lạc Việt leader Trưng Trắc and her sister Trưng Nhị rebelled against Chinese authorities. In 42 CE, Han China dispatched General Ma Yuan to lead an army to strike down the uprising. In 43 CE, the Han army fully suppressed the uprising and regained complete control. The Trưng sisters were captured and beheaded by the Han forces, although Vietnamese chronicles of the defeat records that the two sisters, having lost to Han forces, decided to commit suicide by jumping down the Hát Giang river, so as not to surrender to the Han.^[9]^[10]^[11]

Trưng Trằc and Trưng Nhi

Trưng Trằc and Trưng Nhi were sisters born in Giao Chi, located in rural northern Vietnam around 12 C.E. (although their exact birth dates are unknown, we know that Trằc was older than Nhi). Since their father was a prefect, a person of high authority or command, of the Mê Linh province and a descendant of a military family, Trằc and Nhi were expected to be highly educated young Vietnamese women. Their mother, who was also from a family with military traditions, taught them several fighting techniques, such as the martial arts. The sisters excelled in literature as they were set to inherit their father’s titles and land upon his death. A prefect of a neighboring province came to visit Mê Linh and brought along his son, Thi Sách; Thi Sách and Trằc fell in love and soon married.

Trằc and Nhi grew up during the thousand-year Chinese occupation of southern China and several southwest Asian kingdoms. Under the control of the Han Dynasty, the Chinese had overthrown the Vietnamese government in 111 B.C.E. As a result, the Vietnamese people suffered under tyran
