According to Vietnamese history books, Vietnam was ruled by twelve feudal lords for a long time before it got rid of the rule of the central dynasty in 968 and became an independent feudal country. Among the twelve feudal lords, there are five members of the Ruan family. Later, whether in the Li Dynasty or the Chen Dynasty, members of the Ruan family became the pillars of the court.
Around 1527, Ruan Huang became king on his own, which marked that Ruan began to ascend to the highest stage of Vietnamese politics. 1802, Ruan Fu overthrew the Xishan Dynasty established by Ruan, Ruan and Ruan, and established the Ruan Dynasty, which was conferred the title of Yue by Jiaqing Emperor. 1945, Baoda, the last emperor of Ruan Dynasty, announced his abdication. In the same year, Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh (formerly known as Nguyen) announced the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
Throughout the history of Vietnam, people in the Nguyen family are basically leading actors, especially in modern times, this trend has become more and more powerful. Then we can't help asking, why are there so many Nguyen people in Vietnam and where are they from?
Vietnamese Nguyen, from China.
There is a Ruan surname in China, and there are many records about Ruan's family's migration in China. Ruan originated in the north of China, and Ruan's figure first appeared between the warp and weft (Shaanxi-Gansu area). At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Ruan moved eastward. After the demise of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Ruan moved eastward to Chenliu (now Kaifeng, Henan). Later, with the changes of history and vicissitudes, Chen Liuruan moved south on a large scale. During this period, three major populations migrated to Jiaozhou.
First time: In 554, Queen Ruan of Liang Dynasty was conquered by the Western Wei Dynasty. Without a place to live, Ruan, Hubei moved to Hunan first, then moved south in two ways, all the way to Fujian and Guangdong, and all the way from Guangxi to Jiaozhou.
The second time: During the Chen Dynasty, the Ruan family in Fujian and Guangdong began to engage in maritime trade and had contacts with Ruan who moved to Jiaozhou in the Southern Dynasties. Before and after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Ruan was severely suppressed as a survivor of the previous dynasty. Some Ruan family members living in the Yangtze River valley moved back to Chenliu's hometown, while the Ruan family in Fujian and Guangdong began to move to Jiaozhou.
The third time: around 1 127, Jin Bing invaded the Song Dynasty, and Chen Liuruan was forced to move south again. One moved to Hangzhou and Shaoxing with Zhao Gou and Kang Wang, and the other moved to Ganzhou, Jiangxi. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Mongolian and Yuan fighters rode south, and the capital Hangzhou (formerly known as Lin 'an) was in danger. The Ruan clan who just moved to Hangzhou, Shaoxing and other places can only move south again. Among them, some Ruan family members moved to Jiaotoe and Annan.
Generally speaking, as a foreign surname of Vietnam, it is difficult for Ruan to enter Vietnamese politics without the support of local people. Therefore, Ruan's flourishing in Vietnam was not accomplished in a day, and it must have experienced a long and difficult development. The history of China and Vietnam also proves that the Nguyen family in Vietnam has a long history, which is not comparable to other local surnames.
Chen Liuruan has a long history as an official in Jiaozhou. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, some Ruan family members moved south with Di Chin, and the farthest one moved to Jiaozhou, which began Ruan's history as an official in Jiaozhou. From the early Eastern Jin Dynasty to the early Northern Song Dynasty, Ruan generally served as the highest official position in South Vietnam, such as Shangshu and our envoy.
In the Tang Dynasty, Ruan family members spread all over Annan, and most of them held local political power. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jiaozhou was ruled by the twelve feudal lords mentioned above, five of whom were named Ruan. Since then, Ruan has been one of the best aristocratic families in Jiaozhou (later known as Annan and Vietnam) until the early Qing Dynasty, although he did not establish political power. In the Qing Dynasty, Ruan began to shine in Vietnam, established Ruan Dynasty three times and ruled Vietnam for nearly a hundred years. Modern Vietnam led the Vietnamese people to gain national independence and establish a democratic and peaceful Vietnam? Founding father? Ho Chi Minh (formerly known as Nguyen) is also a member of the Nguyen family.
Why did the Ruan family in Liu Chen move south to Jiaozhou?
First of all, it is a long way from the Central Plains to Jiaozhou, and the ancient means of transportation are backward. It is conceivable how difficult it is for Chen Liuruan to move south to Jiaozhou. Secondly, Jiaozhou has been a barbarian land since ancient times in the eyes of Central Plains people, even in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it still belongs to the virgin land to be developed and is not backward. According to historical records, the Ruan family moved to Jiaozhou without fear because of their strong local strength.
Because of the same clan, Ruan, who operated in Jiaozhou earlier, was quite helpful to Ruan in the Central Plains. At the same time, Ruan's massive immigration has also strengthened Ruan's economic and political strength in Jiaozhou.
There are two main lines for Ruan Nan to move to Jiaozhou: one is to take land as an official. This often happens in wartime. For example, Wu Luanhua, Sui's army, Ping Baiyue. Moreover, during the war, due to the shortage of food, the success rate of officials moving into Jiaozhou was higher.
At the same time, officials surnamed Ruan often moved from the south to Jiaozhou. The second is to go by sea as a businessman. Ruan, who moved to Fujian and Guangdong during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, gradually took root in the local area, began to engage in maritime trade, and gradually formed a feudal group in Guangnan. However, due to song and yuan war, Ming and Qing Dynasties? Close the door? As a national policy, Guangnan merchants had to move south in batches. Most of them eventually moved to southern Vietnam.
According to Vietnamese history books, Ruan Dynasties generally flourished in southern Vietnam, and then gradually advanced to the north by force. The data also show that these royal and aristocratic families are often descendants of the Guangnan feudal group who moved to southern Vietnam by sea. In modern times, most overseas Chinese from China who emigrated to Vietnam also lived in the southern region.
From the vassal state of the central dynasty to the independent founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the Vietnamese people and the people of China have always maintained close contacts, and even if there is occasional friction, they can't cut off close blood ties. 1885, the Qing Dynasty signed the Sino-French Vietnam Treaty with France, which marked the abandonment of Vietnamese suzerainty by China and the official end of China and Vietnam? Subordinate? Relationship.
However, the separation of political affiliation does not mean the separation of the Chinese and Vietnamese people. Since modern times, China and Vietnam have maintained close ties, especially among the people, and there are many examples of people of the two countries staying with each other. The Vietnamese Nguyen surname originated in China, which is one of the best proofs of the friendship and close relationship between the two peoples for generations.
