While studying the Chinese Six-Dynasties(六朝) and their Roof-end Tiles, the author first encountered Vietnamese Roof-end Tiles. Due to the influence of the Six Dynasties' Roof-end Tiles, Roof-end Tiles with human-face motifs were unearthed in ancient Korean Baekje(百濟) and Silla(新羅) regions. However, these Roof-end Tiles with human-face motifs are from a later period than those from the Six-Dynasties and differ in form from the Roof-end Tiles with human-face motifs of the Sun Wu(孫吳) period. On the other hand, Roof-end Tiles with human-face motifs unearthed in Vietnam bear similarities in period and style to those from the Sun Wu period found in Chinese cities like Nanjing(南京) and Yuezhou(岳州). This resemblance prompted an exploration of the cultural influence of Chinese Roof-end Tiles on Vietnam through exchanges during the Six-Dynasties period. Upon examining related materials, records of cultural exchange not only between the Six-Dynasties and ancient Vietnam but also between the ancient Vietnam and Baekje were found. Artifacts supporting these records indicate that there was cultural exchange between ancient Vietnam and Baekje as well. Recognizing the need to broaden the scope of research to include not only the Southern Dynasties-Vietnam and Southern Dynasties-Baekje exchanges but also interactions among various countries along maritime routes of the time, the author realized the necessity of a new perspective. This study aims to consolidate the findings from excavations at the Vietnamese sites of Tra Kieu and Luy Lau, examining the unearthed roof tiles to understand cultural exchanges between ancient Vietnam and China’s Six-Dynasties, as well as Baekje. Through this analysis, the author hopes to outline the interactions between Baekje and ancient Vietnam and recognizes the need for further comparative research, anticipating more studies in this area.
