Abstract

Cultural exchanges and acculturation play an important role, as a necessary requirement for the existence and development of each community and each nation. In Southern Vietnam, beginning from the 16th to 18th centuries, this area witnessed an extremely vibrant process of cultural exchange and acculturation. It was this process that contributed to the formation of a new identity among several ethnic groups, among which the custom of Mother Goddess worship serves as a vivid testament for the process of the Vietnamese – Cham – Chinese – Khmer cultural exchange and acculturation in Southern Vietnam. By utilizing historical and logical research methods combined with analysis and comparison methods, this article aims to delve deep into the process of the Vietnamese – Cham – Chinese – Khmer cultural exchange and acculturation in Southern Vietnam and the traces of cultural contact by these ethnic groups which are reflected in the belief of Mother Goddess worship.
