The Changing Nature of the Red River Delta Villages during the Lê Period (1428–1788)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 October 2001
Abstract
Over the 400 years of the Lê dynasty (1428–1788), the village in northern Vietnam progressively evolved as an administrative institution. The article traces this process, and analyses the changing relationship between villages and the central government, contrasting the early decades of the dynasty when the court exercised strong control over the village with later centuries when the trend was towards autonomy.
