Van Don commercial port relic

Established in 1149, Van Don became the first trading port of Dai Viet. Trang Van Don becomes the last administrative unit in the local administrative system. To protect national security, the royal court stipulated that foreign ships, whether far or near, entering the port must anchor in Van Don and not proceed further inland. Foreigners are only allowed to trade in certain locations and are subject to state control. The Ly Dynasty (1009-1225) introduced many policies to encourage foreign trade, so trade in Van Don developed. Goods exported by foreign ships are mainly agarwood, pearls, ivory, cinnamon bark, rhino horn, gold, silver, copper, saltpeter, sea seafood... Imported foreign goods are brocade. Only the state is responsible for foreign trade activities, private individuals are not involved. During the Tran Dynasty (1225-1400), the world spice market was vibrant, and the invention of the maritime route across the sea from China to Egypt pushed the pace of international trade to grow stronger. Trade at Van Don commercial port is bustling, expanding with many countries such as Japan, Mongolia, the Philippines and Europe. The protection and management of foreign trade in the Van Don region was assigned by King Tran to princes and high-ranking mandarins. Prominent among them is King Nhan Hue Tran Khanh Du. At this time, Van Don was closely guarded. Wooden fences were erected around key shopping areas and beaches of the island. Tran Khanh Du also prevented Chinese troops from blending in by having Van Don military equipment wear Ma Loi hats, a type of hat made from Ma Loi incense, Hong Lo (now Hai Duong) to easily recognize Dai Viet troops. . Because most Van Don people work as traders, their way of dressing is similar to that of Northerners. Complete History of Dai Viet records: "Many merchant ships that previously entered Tha and Vien estuaries in Chau Dien, now mostly gather in Van Don." Not only expanding in administrative boundaries, Van Don was raised from a village to a town, established in the reign of Tran Du Tong (1345), on Hai Dong road, later changed to An Bang road. The Tran Dynasty placed the mandarin in charge of Van Don as a major town, including the Tran mandarin (martial general), the Lo mandarin (literary mandarin) and the sea envoy (sea surface control officer), placing an army here. specifically called Binh Hai military, has the task of patrolling and protecting the Northeast coast, controlling the security of foreign trade activities. In addition to trading, the Tran kings also built many large-scale pagodas and towers such as Lam pagoda, Trong pagoda, Cat pagoda, Bao Thap... in Thang Loi commune to meet the religious needs of residents and foreign traders. besides worshiping Buddhism. The early Le Dynasty (1428-1527) after gaining independence implemented many strict policies on foreign trade. The court very clearly regulated activities at Van Don trading port in the National Trieu Penal Code (often called Hong Duc Law). Accordingly, the officials who went to Van Don without permission were either treated as criminals or exiled; The person who reports the matter is entitled to privacy (Article 612). Article 615 of Hong Duc Law clearly states: "A person at Van Don site who transports goods to the capital to sell and upon returning without a permit from the An Phu company and a survey certificate from the De Bac company will be subject to sarcasm and fined 100 francs." money; reward the accuser with one-third of the fine. If you arbitrarily bring goods to sell in villages outside the capital, you will be prosecuted and fined 200 francs. If An Phu company and De Bac company did not know it, they would be satirized in private; If you intentionally tolerate it, you'll be satirized and dismissed." Foreign boats that want to come to Van Don site to do business and stay for a long time must submit a document to the An Phu company. If the site owner does not present it and arbitrarily allows them to stay, they will be fined 200 francs. Due to strict control, commercial activities in Van Don declined compared to the Ly and Tran dynasties but still occupied an important position under the Le dynasties. During the Mac Dynasty (1527-1677), with the open trade policy, foreign trade activities at Van Don trading port flourished again. The Mac Dynasty also built a pagoda in Vung district, Thang Loi commune, and built citadels in Cam Pha and Hoanh Bo to defend the country. During the Renaissance of the Le Dynasty (1533-1789), trading activities in Van Don were still developed. In addition to trading, the Le Dynasty also paid attention to building village communal houses to serve as a place for spiritual and cultural activities for island residents such as Cai Lang communal house, Cong Cai communal house, Quan Lan commune. At the end of the 17th century, Ke Cho (Thang Long), Pho Hien (Hung Yen), Hoi An (Quang Nam) opened their doors for Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, British... merchant ships to go deep inland to trade. Van Don trading port completely lost its role as a commercial center. Foreign trade activities still take place, but are no longer busy. Entering the early 19th century under the Nguyen Dynasty, Van Don trading port was no longer active. Residents on some ancient wharves moved to other places, and wharf warehouses were gradually damaged. Commercial boat wharves were converted into wharfs to serve the needs of local people for fishing and exchanging forest and seafood products to other places in the country. Over time and the sedimentation of the sea, the bustling appearance of the old Van Don commercial port no longer exists. Currently, in the ground on the banks of ancient wharves, there are still millions of broken or intact pieces of porcelain, house floors, communal house floors, pagoda floors, and ancient bronze coins spanning 7 centuries. Van Don is the first commercial port of Dai Viet country, not only operating on a single line with only one port but also a system of interconnected yards and docks. The center of the commercial port is 200km2 in area, in Bai Tu Long Bay, in Thang Loi, Quan Lan, Minh Chau, Ngoc Vung communes, Van Don district. Cong Dong - Cong Tay area (Thang Loi island commune, Van Don district) was once the center of Van Don trading port. For nearly 7 centuries, Van Don commercial port was crowded with merchant ships from China, Japan, Mongolia, the Philippines and Europe. Goods exported by foreign ships are mainly agarwood, pearls, ivory, cinnamon bark, rhino horn, gold, silver, copper, saltpeter, seafood... Imported foreign goods are brocade. .
