The Sông Cái (Red River) Delta, the Chinese Diaspora, and the Trần/Chen Clan of Ðại Việt
The expansion of the Sông Cái (Red River) delta combined with the first Chinese diaspora and settlement in the region led to the Chen/Trần clan emerging and rising to power in the polity of Ðại Việt 大越 . Emerging among the Ngô ( 吳 Sino-Vietnamese) community in the lower delta, the Trần 陳 emphasized the agricultural development of this area as they built their power. I approach Trần rule in three phases: 1220s–1260s, 1260s–1330s, and 1330s–1420. I…
Haijin, Melaka, and the Cham/Việt Coast
This study examines 15th-century Melaka’s significant role as the primary intermediary eastern maritime port-of-trade between the Indian Ocean and China. It addresses the strategic South China Sea Jiaozhu Vietnam coastline passage to the Ming court’s newly designated southern China Guangzhou port. It replaced Quangzhou to the north as the preeminent port of China’s eastern Asia maritime trade. In 1371 the Ming China court restricted its foreign m…
Kingship, Time, and Space: Historiography in Southeast Asia
This chapter demonstrates how the topic of Southeast Asian historiography divides itself into three fairly distinct categories that progress through this period. First, there was the epigraphy, — materials carved mainly into stone (but also metal). These were the main surviving forms of writing for almost all the classical polities that emerged in the region from the seventh century on. The second category consisted of writings on paper (or other…

China's Encounters on the South and Southwest: Reforging the Fiery Frontier Over Two Millennia
China's Encounters on the South and Southwest. Reforging the Fiery Frontier Over Two Millennia discusses the mountainous territory between lowland China and Southeast Asia, what we term the Dong world, and varied encounters by China with this world's many elements. The essays describe such encounters over the past two millennia and note various asymmetric relations that have resulted therefrom. Local populations, indigenous chiefs, state official…
Transformations of Thăng Long: Space and Time, Power and Belief
2010 saw the millennial celebration of Thăng Long/Hà Nội as capital of an independent Vietnam, and archaeology has tended to confirm this strong sense of continuity. Yet study of written texts shows us how political power, administrative style, and religious belief have shaped the city and how a cyclical pattern in this history has appeared twice and may be in its third time. In this pattern, each cycle saw the city begin as the provincial capita…
The Rise of the Coast: Trade, State and Culture in Early Ða[under dot]i Viê[under dot]t
The surge in Song foreign trade affected Ða[under dot]i Viê[under dot]t greatly, helping to integrate the upper and lower valley of the Red River first economically in the twelfth century, then politically with the rise of the Trâ[grave accent above]n dynasty in the thirteenth, and finally culturally in the fourteenth. Coastal wealth, power and classical Chinese scholarship entered the inland capital of Thăng Long (Hanoi) and strongly influenced …
The Two Great Campaigns of the Hongduc Era (1470–97) in Dai Viet
This paper is concerned with the ways in which different terrains affect separate campaigns by the same army. It explores the major campaigns led by the Vietnamese ruler Le Thanh-tong (1460–97), the first south to control the Chams, the second west to attack the Tai muang. The campaigns took place in very different environments – the first lowland and coastal, the second mountainous – and had different objectives: the first to conquer and destroy…

Literati Culture and Integration in Dai Viet, c. 1430–c. 1840
The land of Dai Viet, whose political and cultural heartland lay in what is now northern Vietnam, followed patterns somewhat analogous to those posited in other Eurasian ‘rimland’ states. The fifteenth to nineteenth centuries saw administrative centralization, territorial expansion, population growth, economic elaboration, a greater emphasis on textuality and moral orthodoxy, and growing cultural standardization. In contrast to France and West Eu…

Essays into Vietnamese Pasts
Essays that demonstrate ways to "read" the pasts of Vietnam through detailed analyses of its art, chronicles, legends, documents, and monuments. The book's many voices undermine the idea of a single Vietnamese past. All the essays, while varied, are connected by their common concerns with language and text

Social Organization and Confucian Thought in Vietnam
To analyze Vietnamese social organization, we must put aside ourimage of it as similar to that of China, with its patrilineal clans. Writings on Vietnam have portrayed a country molded by its northern neighbour in the “thousand years of Chinese domination” of the first millennium A.D. to such an extent that all things Vietnamese must needs be seen in a Chinese and indeed a Confucian light. Socially, this means domination by the male and the fathe…
Merit Subjects: China, Korea, Vietnam
Comparative history offers a variety of approaches. On the one hand, there is the study of societies and cultures that are historically incongruent; that is, because of differences in space and/or time, they have had no contact of any sort with each other and hence no influence on each other. The comparison of Han China, medieval Europe, and the Incas would be one such example. On the other hand, there is the comparison of historically congruent …

Chiao-Chih and Neo-Confucianism: The Ming Attempt to Transform Vietnam
The twenty-year Ming occupation of Vietnam (1407–1427) was not the result of an intentional imperialistic thrust. The conquest resulted from a complex incident and from the early Ming dynastic desire for a moral world in its own image. Though the fact of conquest became the dominating element in the Chinese decision to stay in the small country on their southern border, the Yung-lo Emperor was determined to integrate his new subjects morally as w…

Explorations in Early Southeast Asian History: The Origins of Southeast Asian Statecraft
While following the probes of foreign individuals into various obscure parts of Southeast Asia over the centuries is a diverting and entertaining pastime, the purpose of this volume is to investigate this past with the mind, to question and postulate upon the historical patterns that have developed from earlier study of the area, and to bring concepts from other areas and disciplines to bear on the existing information. The product of this effort…

The rule of this Emperor is significant for the bureaucratization of the government and a consequent growth in paperwork which occurred under him. During the last quarter of the fifteenth century, many of the resulting documents were brought together to form major compilati…
