1358 VN - Citadel of the Ho Dynasty (2011)

Brief Description

"The 14th -century Ho Dynasty citadel, built according to the feng shui principles, testifies to the flowering of neo-Confucianism in late 14th century Viet Nam and its spread to other parts of east Asia. According to these principles it was sited in a landscape of great scenic beauty on an axis joining the Tuong Son and Don Son mountains in a plain between the Ma and Buoi rivers. The citadel buildings represent an outstanding example of a new style of south-east Asian imperial city."

胡朝时期的城堡
修建于14世纪,城堡的建设遵循了风水的原则,是14世纪末期传到越南及东亚其他地区新儒家思想发扬光大的见证。城堡建在连接起长山(Tuong Son)与东山(Don Son)山脉的轴线上,位于马江与八里河(Buoi)之间平原上一片风景秀丽之处。壮观的城堡建筑本身代表着东南亚王城建设历史中曾涌现出的一种新风格。
