The Chinese colonization of Tongking, first century AD to sixth century AD
Abstract
In 111 BC Emperor Wu of the Former Han dynasty conquered the
independent kingdom of Nan-yüeh which was based in the Kuangtung region
of modern China and extended south to include Tongking in northern
Vietnam. After Wu-ti's conquest, Nan-yüeh was divided into 9 commanderies,
one of which - Chiao-chih - was to administer Tongking. This was the
beginning of a political and cultural in Tongking which was
to last for more than a thousand years. It was the beginning of a long
historical and cultural process which eventually produced the Vietnamese
state, fiercely independent but culturally orientated towards China.
