在秦始皇统一中国的时候，中国儒学开始进入越南。儒学在越南封建社会长期作为封建统治与社会教化的指导思想，在越南封建社会居于主导地位。儒家的大一统观念、忠君爱国思想、夷夏之辨、社群主义等，对于培养越南民族意识和国家精神、维护越南国家统一和民族独立都曾经起过积极作用，造就了一批又一批忠臣义士。越南共产党“革新开放”的新时期仍然重视儒家重视道德、道义和人文价值的传统。
When Qin Shi-huang unified China，Chinese Confucianism began to enter Vietnam. Confucianism has long served as the guiding ideology of feudal rule and social enlightenment in Vietnamese society，and it has occupied a dominant position in Vietnamese feudal society. The Confucian idea of great unity，loyalty to the monarch and patriotism，the debate between Yi and Xia，communitarianism and so on have played a positive role in cultivating Vietnam's national consciousness and national spirit，safeguarding Vietnam's national unity and national independence，and created a number of loyal ministers and righteous men. In the new era of Reform and Opening Up，the Communist Party of Vietnam still attaches importance to the Confucian tradition of attaching importance to morality，morality and humanistic values.
