The only black queen in Chinese history

The history of Chinese feudalism recorded a single person of African descent, a poor family but became the emperor of Dong Tan for a special reason.

Ly Lang Dung , wife of Dong Tan Gian Van De Tu Ma Duc (320-372), the 8th king of Dong Tan Dynasty (317-420) is considered a black queen in Chinese history.

According to the history of the book, the figure of a tall person, strong black skin, and the curly hair of Ly Lang Dung proves that she is not Trung Nguyen.

She is believed to come from a remote area of ​​the Lam Ap ethnic group, a group of people who once lived in India, the Middle East and southern Africa.

This ethnic group is greatly influenced by Chinese culture and religion, so Li Lang Dung may have come to China since childhood.

Change life thanks to a saying

It is unclear the story later, but Chinese history books say that she was sold to the royal capital of the Sima Jing house, making a female bow specializing in weaving cloth. Tu Ma Duc used to have 3 sons but all died prematurely.

The frequencies in the palace also did not give birth to a son. The King worried that there was no follower, he summoned more women into the palace but still hopeless.

According to the history book, Tu Ma Duc was in doubt at the heart of his ability to 'man' because there were many wives but no children. When the first daughter, Tan An princess was born, he regained confidence.

Sima Chen is extremely fond of his daughter, however, that does not completely erase the worry about the boy's connection. A year later, despite trying to find ways, Tu Ma Duc still had no son.

At this time, Tu Ma Duc was introduced to a general, who was famous for his high virtue and good will, only seeing the general could tell who gave birth to a son or a daughter. Tu Ma Duc assigns responsibility to this person.

After looking at a series of female supply in the palace, the general did not see anyone who could give birth to a son. Tu Ma Duc let him expand the scope of searching beyond the kingdom.

Legend has it that the new general met Ly Lang Dung exclaimed: 'This is the woman who can be the mother of the king'.

The appearance of Ly Lang Dung is now considered unsightly. The fact that the general had found himself a slave to give birth to a child made Tu Ma Duc not satisfied. However, because he wanted to have a son to follow, he had to listen.

This story is assessed as shocking China, because no one thinks a black slave like Ly Lang Dung can surpass hundreds of other beautiful women in the kingdom of Tu Ma Duc house to be established.

According to the notion of the time, to be concubine of the monarchs, it must be both beautiful and caring for the family. Meanwhile, Tu Ma Duc is tall and handsome, brave and powerful, is a model of so many young girls.

Not long after, Ly Lang Dung is pregnant. Legend has it that she dreamed of two dragons kneeling and bowing to her, saying she was auspicious. Tu Ma Duc heard that he found it strange, and hopefully started.

In 362, Ly Lang Dung gave birth to the prince Tu Ma Dieu and two years later gave birth to the second prince, named Tu Ma Dao Tu. Finally, she gave birth to Yang Princess. Her position in the royal court was also so much more important.

In 371, Tu Ma Duc came to the throne when he was 51 years old, the name was Gian Van De, and the style of Ly Lang Dung was completed. Tu Ma Duc did not set anyone as queen, so Ly Lang Dung is the owner of the harem by default.

The early event happened when Tu Ma Duc passed away, Tu Ma Dieu was only 10 years old to the throne. Ly Lang Dung was conceived son made royal status, costume is no different from the queen.

It was only 20 years later when her son advised her mother that her mother would be honored as the queen. In 400, Ly Lang Dung passed away, branded Van Thai Hau, buried at the tomb of Tu Binh. It can be said that the only life of the black queen in Chinese history is considered extremely strange, from having skin color unlike anyone else to being conceived.

She is also a rare slave who suddenly becomes the most powerful woman in the palace. Because she gave birth to a son, the Dong Tan emperor was deeply in love.

Today, Ly Lang Dung's title is still a controversial topic among Chinese scholars. She is considered a very intelligent and skillful person in behavior.

At the time of his birth, Ly Lang Dung stood for a reconciliation conflict between the two brothers Tu Ma Dieu and Tu Ma Dao Tu. As a result, the Dong Tan family escaped the internal war of power, the country entered a flourishing period.
