Results for "Đinh Bộ Lĩnh"

Quick answer

Why did Đinh Bộ Lĩnh choose Đại Cồ Việt as the national name?

The old histories record only that after putting down the rebellion, Đinh Bộ Lĩnh ascended the imperial throne, took the national name Đại Cồ Việt and established the capital at Hoa Lư; they do not explain clearly why those two words were chosen. Explanations of the meaning of the two words Đại Cồ are mostly conjectures by later generations, not passages copied from the official histories.

From the article “Đinh Bộ Lĩnh quells the rebellion of the Twelve Warlords and founds the Đại Cồ Việt state: course of events, significance, and layers of legend”
