Partially correct. I am no history expert but Nom Tu was based off of Nho Tu (Confucian Script). Nho Tu which was widely adopted by Han was developed during the Middle Archaic period. The Nho script evolved from the Bird and Worm script from the Seal script used by the Qin and Zhou. Documentations exist in Vietnam but are mostly ignored by the majority since this writing system is no longer in use. Moreover, most of Vietnamese historical texts haven't been fully translated into Quốc ngữ or made available to the public.Han Nom is based off Hanzi,you really have no clue about Vietnamese history do you....
嶺南摭怪,粵甸幽靈集,大越史記,大越史記全書,越史略,欽定越史通鑑綱目 etc,these are all written in Hanzi
Then again your take medieval Vietnamese myths at face value,there's not much I can expect from you.
The funniest part of it all is that that Vietnamese try to monopolize the toponym "Yue" when the first reference(which dates to the Shang dynasty) locates Yue in northwest China.
Clearly you haven't studied all of Vietnamese historical documentations. Many Vietnamese officials can trace their roots to MinYue and WuYue Kindom of the Spring and Autumn period of China's history. A more recent example would be Phan Thanh Giản who was a Grand Counsellor at the Nguyen court who can trace his heritage to MinYue Kingdom. Vietnamese and Chinese historian alike tend to keep a distinct separation between the history within its borders for political purposes.
