Results for "Triệu Đà"
Does Vietnamese historiography consider Triệu Đà to be Vietnamese?
No. Both the Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư and Việt Nam sử lược record that Triệu Đà was of Han Chinese origin, a native of Chân Định, and served as a commandant of the Qin dynasty in Nam Hải commandery. The inclusion of the Triệu dynasty in the Vietnamese historical line rests on the criteria of holding territory, holding the throne and having a succession, not on the bloodline of its founder.
