After investigating all lands of Vi\u1ec7t, this place is actually the gathering venue of people from across the nation, the most appropriate place for eternal capital positioning.”<\/p>\n

From the date of settlement until the end of the 18th century, Th\u0103ng Long was the capital of Great Vi\u1ec7t, the center of a civilization of the same name. During the T\u00e2y S\u01a1n and Nguy\u1ec5n Dynasties, the capital moved to Ph\u00fa Xu\u00e2n in the central province of Hu\u1ebf, but H\u00e0 N\u1ed9i remained a major cultural and economic center of the country. Under the French colonial period, H\u00e0 N\u1ed9i was the capital of the Indochina Federation. After the victorious August Revolution in 1945, H\u00e0 N\u1ed9i was again chosen by President Ho Chi Minh and the first National Assembly of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam as the capital of an independent Vietnam. Since 1976, H\u00e0 N\u1ed9i has been the capital of the independent and unified Socialist Republic of Vietnam.<\/p>\n

After more than a millennium, Th\u0103ng Long – H\u00e0 N\u1ed9i is still asserting its unique position as the the capital of the country. It speaks volumes about King L\u00fd Th\u00e1i T\u1ed5’s time-tested vision about the land of eternal imperial capital. And as historian Ngo Thi Si (18th century) commented, “Long \u0110\u1ed7 (i.e. Th\u0103ng Long) land has ” Mount T\u1ea3n Vi\u00ean that stands firmly in one realm, River Ph\u00fa L\u01b0\u01a1ng (Red River) that functions like a moat made by heaven. With a land that stretches thousands of miles dwelled by hundreds of rich families, it is the center of the country, in all four directions. The mountain is the cloak, the river is the belt. As the city is backed by rivers and fronted by the sea, the terrain is propitious, wide and long. It is the place where the kings can reside majestically with a stable throne, matched and excelled by no other places in our country”.<\/p>\n

The exhibition opens from 9 October 2020 at the Imperial Citadel of Th\u0103ng Long, 19c Ho\u00e0ng Di\u1ec7u, Ba \u0110\u00ecnh, Hanoi.<\/p>\n
