Those who have some knowledge or research on Vietnam history must be impressed by the Chen dynasty in Vietnamese history, because we have a Chen dynasty in Chinese history, that is, Chen Baxian. The Chen dynasty of China was a separatist dynasty, while the Chen dynasty of Vietnam was a unified dynasty.
The Chen Dynasty of China will not be introduced in detail. You know a little about Chinese history.
In 557 AD, the Nanliang dynasty general Chen Baxian usurped the throne and established a new dynasty to replace the Nanliang dynasty. He took his own surname as the country name, and was called the Chen dynasty in history. Because it was the southern separatist dynasty of the southern and northern , it was also called the Nanchen dynasty. .
The Southern Chen Dynasty was the dynasty with the smallest territory and the weakest national power among the Southern dynasties. Although there were also three wise emperors of the North The national power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty was much stronger than that of the Southern Chen Dynasty. In 577 AD, the Northern Zhou dynasty destroyed the Northern Qi dynasty and unified the north. In 581 AD, Emperor Wen Yang Jian usurped the throne and established the Sui Dynasty to replace the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In 589, the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Nanchen Dynasty. So far, Guozuo 32 years, the Nanchen Dynasty with 5 monarchs fell.
The Chen Dynasty of China
The above is the introduction of the Chen Dynasty of China, and then I will focus on the Chen Dynasty of Vietnam. What needs to be reiterated is that the Vietnamese monarch is the emperor, not the king. The reason has been introduced in many previous articles. Skip it here. If it is still unclear, please go and figure it out first. Don't mess with it.
In the early 13th century AD, the Li dynasty ruled Vietnam, but the rule of the Li dynasty has been in decline. The emperor has no real power, and the real power rests in the hands of the Minister Chen for the first time. In 1224 AD, Chen abolished Li Huizong for the first time.Supporting his eldest daughter Li Tianxin is the emperor, known in history as Li Zhaodi, and is the only female monarch in Vietnamese history. However, Chen's first move was just a trick he wrote and directed for the sake of usurping the throne later. In the same year, he arranged for his nephew, Chen Jun , to marry Li Zhaodi. Chen Jun became a rare male queen in the history of the world.
In the second year, Chen thought that the time was right and forced Emperor Li Zhao to abdicate, but instead of being emperor, he supported his nephew Chen Jun as emperor. In this way, Chen Jun changed from a male queen to an emperor, because the temple was named Taizong. , Historically known as Chen Taizong, so far in 216 years of the Guo Zuo, the nine monarchs of the Li dynasty fell, the Chen dynasty was established, the official state name is Da Yue.
Chen Dynasty of Vietnam
There is also a point that needs to be emphasized. Almost all dynasties in Vietnamese history are named after the surnames of the ruling families, including the Ding Dynasty, Li Dynasty, and Chen Dynasty introduced above. This is the same as the historical dynasties in Europe, such as and Tudor in British history. French history Bourbon , the ruling family surnames are Tudor and Bourbon. Of course, regardless of the history of Vietnam or Europe, there are exception dynasties that are not named by the ruling family's surname. For example, the Xishan Dynasty in Vietnamese history is named after the peasant uprising launched in Xishan Village, so I won't introduce them in detail here.
The above mentioned is just to illustrate that although the Vietnamese dynasties are named after the ruling family surnames, the Vietnamese dynasties also have country names, but they are usually not used for addressing. The Vietnamese Chen dynasty to be introduced in this article is "Da Yue". The title was used when Li Rizun, the third emperor of the Li Dynasty, succeeded the emperor in 1054 AD. The Chen Dynasty replaced the Li Dynasty and continued to use this country title. As for the country title, the Chen Dynasty of China and the Chen Dynasty of Vietnam have their essence. The difference is that the former is named Chen and the latter is Dayue. The name of the ruling family is the Chen Dynasty. In addition, the capital was also the capital of the Li Dynasty, Thang Long, which is today the capital of Vietnam, Hanoi.
Taizong Chen Xuan, the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty of VietnamThe reason is also due to the early emperors of the wise and martial arts: the founding emperor Taizong Chen Zhuo, the second emperor Shengzong Chen Huang, the third emperor Renzong Chen Yun, the fourth emperor Yingzong Chen Xuan, etc. The Chen dynasty not only ruled Vietnam as stable as Mount Tai, but also opened up more and more territories to the outside world. Vietnam's territory gradually expanded from the north to the south, forming today’s Vietnam. The Chen dynasty has made considerable contributions.
The Chen dynasty has another major contribution. It defeated and the Mongol empire many times, making the Mongol empire become emperor in and Kublai Khan, establishing the Yuan dynasty and exterminating the Southern Song dynasty. Forced to give up conquering Vietnam, Vietnam became one of the few countries that was not conquered by the Mongol Empire. This was the contribution of the Chen Dynasty.
The Chen Dynasty of Vietnam defeated the Yuan Dynasty of China
The above is the cultural and martial arts of the Chen Dynasty of Vietnam. In the late 14th century AD, the power of the Chen dynasty fell to Minister Hu Jishou, and the last few emperors of the Chen dynasty were his puppets. The abolition and death of the emperors of the Chen dynasty depended on his own preferences. In 1400 AD, Hu Jisuo formally usurped the throne and established the Hu Dynasty to replace the Chen Dynasty. Even the title of the country was changed from Dayue to Dayu. At this time, in 175 years of Guozuo, the 13th monarchy of the Chen Dynasty perished.
