Tốn line
fifth dynasty of Hung kings of the Hồng Bàng period
The Tốn line (Vietnamese: chi Tốn; chữ Hán: 支巽; chi can also be translated to as branch) was the fifth dynasty of Hùng kings of the Hồng Bàng period of Văn Lang (now Viet Nam). Starting 1912 B.C., the line refers to the rule of Viên Lang and his successors, when the seat of government was centered at Phú Thọ.
History
Viên Lang was born approximately 1970 B.C., and took the regnal name of Hùng Hy Vương (雄牺王) upon becoming Hùng king. The series of all Hùng kings following Viên Lang took that same regnal name of Hùng Hy Vương to rule over Văn Lang until approximately 1713 B.C.

Why this record matters
“Tốn line” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, line, fifth and dynasty provides the most credible route into that argument.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 24, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q17026267. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1912, 1970, 1713 and 2008.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
