Which two provinces in Vietnam were established during the feudal period and have never been divided, merged, or renamed?
"During his reign, King Minh Mang promulgated a series of domestic reforms. He changed the name of Vietnam to Dai Nam, established a Cabinet and Privy Council in Hue, abolished the positions of Governor of Bac Thanh and Gia Dinh Thanh, changed the towns into provinces, and consolidated the system of mandarin retention in the mountainous regions." From the end of 1831, King Minh Mang abolished the dinh and towns and established provinces. In 1832, the whole country had 31 provinces, including:
Tonkin (the names Bac Ky, Trung Ky and Nam Ky have been used since 1834) has 13 provinces: Hanoi, Son Tay, Hung Hoa, Tuyen Quang, Cao Bang, Lang Son, Quang Yen, Hai Duong, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen, Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh, Thai Nguyen.
Central Vietnam has 11 provinces and Thua Thien prefecture, 11 provinces including: Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa, Binh Thuan.
Cochinchina has 6 provinces: Phien An (renamed Gia Dinh in 1836), Bien Hoa, Dinh Tuong, Vinh Long, An Giang, Ha Tien. (According to Wikipedia, the open encyclopedia)
Thus, this can be considered the time of establishment of provinces in Vietnam.
Since then, through the periods before the August Revolution, then from 1945 to 1975, there have been many fluctuations and changes in the number of provinces nationwide, the names as well as the geography of the provinces. Until 1976, Vietnam had 38 provinces and cities. Through the subsequent mergers and separations, we now know that Vietnam has 63 provinces and cities. Most of those provinces have been separated, merged, and renamed. However, there are 2 provinces that have not been separated, merged, or renamed since their establishment in the feudal period, which are Thanh Hoa province and Thai Binh province.
"Thanh Do Town, considered equivalent to the present-day Thanh Hoa region, was named by King Tran Thuan Tong in 1397, consisting of 3 prefectures and 7 districts. During the early Le Dynasty, in the first year of Thuan Thien (1428), King Le Thai To divided the country into 5 regions, Thanh Hoa belonged to Hai Tay Region. During the 7th year of Quang Thuan (1466), King Le Thanh Tong divided the whole country into 12 regions, changing the towns into prefectures, and changing the roads into prefectures. The administrative units directly under the Central level (court) were the regions and then changed into regions. Thanh Hoa's region existed until the 10th year of Quang Thuan (1469) when it was changed to Thanh Hoa's region, from here the name Thanh Hoa appeared. During the Hong Thuan period (Le Tuong Duc 1509 - 1516), Thanh Hoa's region was changed to Thanh Hoa town. During the Le Trung Hung period (1553 - 1788), it was called Thanh Hoa's inner town, merging two more prefectures, Truong Yen and Thien Quan, of Son Nam Le town. into Thanh Hoa town, called Thanh Hoa outer town. During the Tay Son period, Thanh Hoa outer town was added to the North Citadel, separated from Thanh Hoa inner town. The name "Thanh Hoa town" was kept until 1831. In the 12th year of Minh Mang, the inner town was made Thanh Hoa province and the outer town was made Ninh Binh province, the name "Thanh Hoa province" came from here. In the 3rd year of Thieu Tri (1843), Thanh Hoa was renamed Thanh Hoa. Throughout history, Thanh Hoa's geography has been quite stable, with almost no major mergers or separations." (Propaganda Department of Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee).
"On March 21, 1890, the French Governor-General issued a Decree establishing Thai Binh province, including the districts of Thanh Quan, Thuy Anh, Dong Quan, Truc Dinh (formerly Chan Dinh), Thu Tri, Vu Tien, Tien Hai, Phu Duc, Quynh Coi (belonging to Nam Dinh province) and Than Khe district (belonging to Hung Yen province). In the 6th year of Thanh Thai (1894), two more districts of Hung Nhan and Duyen Ha (belonging to Hung Yen province) were cut and merged back into Thai Binh. At this time, Thai Binh province, as an independent administrative unit, included 3 prefectures with 12 districts, 90 communes, 802 villages and communes with a population of 161,927 people and 365,287 hectares of land." (Thai Binh Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism).
Thus, throughout its existence, through the periods from before the August Revolution to after the country's unification, before the changes, when the provinces of Vietnam were all divided, merged or renamed, like Thanh Hoa province, from the time of its establishment in 1890 until now, Thai Binh province has not undergone any division, merger or name change.
