Phan Huy Ích trong tiến trình nhà Thanh công nhận triều Nguyễn

Tóm tắt

So far, Vietnamese historians have paid little attention to the contribution of the scholars in the Outer Region in the process and procedures of the Qing Dynasty to recognize the Nguyen Dynasty. The history of the Nguyen Dynasty hardly mentions the civil officials of the Tay Son Dynasty who acted as intermediaries, connecting with the Qing Dynasty, now broken with the Tay Son Dynasty, but not yet definitively accepting an alternative dynasty. Although the military victory of the Inner Region was clear, the position of the Phu Xuan Court had not yet formed in the “universal order” of the Qing Dynasty. At that difficult time, the key officials of the Tay Son Dynasty quickly joined the process of applying for the crown, erasing disagreements and diplomatic obstacles. Phan Huy Ich not only played a key role in legitimizing the Nguyen Dynasty, but also in charge of organizing the reception of the Qing’s delegations, arranging all the ceremonies, and drafting the most important documents in the Sino-Vietnamese relations in the early time of the Nguyen Dynasty
