Longbian


Long Biên (Vietnamese), also known as Longbian (Chinese: t , s , p Lóngbiān, w Lung-pien, lit. "Dragons Interweaving"), was the capital of the Chinese province of Jiaozhou and commandery of Jiaozhi during the Han dynasty and its successors. It was located on the Red River within modern Hanoi. After Ly Bi's successful revolt in AD 544, it was the capital of Van Xuan. Sui China retook the territory in 603. Their general removed the capital to nearby Songping (Tông Binh) but Long Biên flourished as a trading port in the late 8th and early 9th centuries. Thăng Long was founded in 1010 at the site of earlier Chinese fortresses nearby. This grew into modern Hanoi, which incorporated Long Biên as one of its districts.
