Lê dynasty
The Lê dynasty ( Vietnamese : Nhà Lê or Lê triều , Hán Tự : 家 黎or黎 朝) ruled Vietnam with a brief interruption from 1428 to 1788 . It is also called the Later Lê Dynasty (Vietnamese: Nhà Hậu Lê or Hậu Lê triều , Hán Tự: 家 後 黎or後 黎 朝) to distinguish it from the Earlier Lê Dynasty (980-1009).
history
The Lê Dynasty was founded after an uprising against the rule of the Chinese Ming Dynasty over Vietnam. Lê Lợi (黎利) ascended the throne as Emperor Lê Thái Tổ (黎太祖). In the years 1527 to 1533 the M Dync dynasty usurped the throne, which was only pushed back to a small area by the Lê in 1592 and removed in 1677. At that time, the Lê emperors were politically very weak, as Đai Việt were under the control of the Nguyễn and Trịnh families. With the uprising of the Nguyễn Nhạc and Nguyễn Huệ brothers , the more symbolic than actual rule of the Lê came to an end in 1788.
meaning
During the Lê dynasty, Champa was conquered and the territory of Vietnam grew from a small state in what is now North Vietnam to almost the extent it is today. There was a transition from Buddhism to Confucianism and civil service and the legal system were reshaped along the lines of the Ming Dynasty. The reign of Lê Thánh Tông (黎聖宗, 1460–1497) is sometimes described as the Golden Age. During the Lê dynasty, the western influence in Vietnam increased, as from 1516 European traders and missionaries ( Franciscans and Jesuits , including Alexandre de Rhodes ) came into the country.
