Peranan dan Sumbangan Orang Cina di Hoian, Vietnam Pada Abad Ke-17 Hingga Abad Ke-18
Abstract: After the fall of the
Ming Dynasty in 1644, many palace officials and army officers of the Ming
Dynasty migrated from China to Hoian in central Vietnam. Many of them had left
because of their refusal to shift their loyalty to the Qing Dynasty government.
These Chinese who migrated from southern China to Hoian also comprised of
traders, scholars and artisans. They originated from southern China such as
Guangdong, Fujian, Chaozhou and Hainan. This paper discusses the role and
contribution of the Chinese in southern VietnamÂ’s political, economic and
social development in the port city of Hoian during the 17th to 18th centuries.
It also examines the relationship between the Chinese and the locals which
created a hybrid community called the Minh Huong community in Hoian. Furthermore,
the article includes discussion on the efforts of the Chinese in preserving and
maintaining their culture in Hoian. This research is important in three
aspects. Firstly, there has not been any specific research about the role and
contribution of the Chinese people in Hoian particularly from the 17th to 18th
centuries. Secondly, this research is significant in that it explains how the
relationship between the Chinese and the Nguyen government in southern Vietnam
and that between the Chinese and the local community had helped them to succeed
politically, economically and socially. Thirdly, this research discusses the
efforts of the Chinese people to preserve their identity and culture in Hoian.
This research opens a new dimension in the history of the Chinese people in
Hoian, specifically, and in Vietnam, generally.
