An original royal edict from the Nguyen dynasty referring to the Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago was discovered in the records of a family in central Quang Ngai province.

The treasured document has been kept by the Dang family in An Hai commune, Ly Son island district, for more than 170 years.

King Minh Mang promulgated the edict to send three boats and 24 seamen to defend Hoang Sa in 1835. A member of the Dang family was entrusted to guide the team.

According to Nguyen Dang Vu, Deputy Director of the Quang Ngai provincial Department for Culture, Sports and Tourism, the edict is the only original document on Hoang Sa found in Ly Son so far.

Vu added that many families had previously provided royal edicts and other documents regarding Hoang Sa islands, but only photocopies and not originals.

Province hands historical Paracel Islands document to Foreign Affairs

The document is a royal ordinance from King Minh Mang sending a crew of three ships, with 24 sailors, to the Hoang Sa in 1834.

The valuable document was kept by the Dang family in An Hai commune, Ly Son island district, for more than 170 years.

According to Dr. Dang Nguyen Vu, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sport and Tourism of Quang Ngai Province, this historical document is the royal ordinance of the Nguyen Dynasty, which sent a number of soldiers to protect the Paracel Islands.

This is one more piece of evidence proving that the Paracel Islands belongs to Vietnam. Some families on  Ly Son island have provided many documents to state agencies related to the Paracel Islands, but they have only been copies. Only Dang family’s document is an original.

 

On this occasion, the leaders of Quang Ngai Province People’s Committee offered Dang family credit for keeping the valuable document safe.

    In term of arguments, China will always make claims of discovery, settlement, etc. 1000s of years ago, way b/f VN in order to nullify VN's historical claims which begin later. However, the more concrete evidence of exercise of sovereignty VN has, it will make a more convincing case against China's outrageously early dates but the evidence is sketchy or ambiguous.

    obviously, the writings are in chinese.

    Which is good since the Chinese people can read the evidence for themselves and not say that the Vietnamese people made them up.

    basically, it's saying vietnam was part of China before. No surprise there for everyone.

    Being conquered by China before and then freed themselves from Chinese imperialism through long fought victory - the more justification why Vietnamese should hold on to every inch of their national territory, including the Paracel Islands.

    Hmmm...Didn't China used to be a part of Mongolia? Maybe Mongolia should go and reclaim a big chunk of China for its own use. Love the way some of our Chinese friends argue. I think it will make the ICJ members stunned if these were Chinese lawyers in court.
