Museum Hu_ (link) and one with Gi‡p T_ mark in the collection of V__ng H_ng S_n (museum in Saigon) (external link available on rm-auctions.com)- T_ V_ ti_ng n—i mi_n Nam (Dictionary of the Southern Language) by V__ng H_ng S_n, Nhˆ Xu_t b_n Tr_ (Youth Publishing House), Hochiminh City, 1998 pp: 411-412, where it is stated (translated):L Quang __nh (1760 - 1815), birth name Tri Ch_, penname T_n Trai, from PhÅ“ Vang province (Th_a Thin), went to the South (of Vietnam, today HCM/ Saigon) to study with V› Tr__ng To_n, befriended with Ngâ„¢ Thanh T_nh and Tr_nh Hoˆi __c who all three were known as the Gia __nh's Trio.He followed Lord Nguy_n çnh (by later dynastic name GIA LONG ) and achieved many feats, gained many positions and titles, leaded a delegation with participation of L Ch‡nh L_ , L Gia C‡t to Qing-dynasty China. (Source according to L Th_ Xu‰n in the Year Book of the Association for Study Promotion in 1942).Following this first official delegation to China (1803) was a second delegation soon after and lead by 'diplomatic' envoy Tr_nh Hoˆi __c in year Gi‡p T_ (1804). In return to these two diplomatic envoy delegations from Vietnam, the Guangxi's Surveillance Commissioner T_ B_ S‰m (_ _ _), who carried out diplomatic duties for the Qing government under emperor Jiaqing (__), bestowed the Vietnamese requested investiture for Lord Nguy_n çnh by an official document (S_c phong, chin.: __) which was accompanied by a present - a tea set with the mark Gi‡p T_ / Nin Ch_.- Interpretation by Mr. Ulbrich: The porcelain group of bowls and teasets with the base mark Gi‡p T’ __ 1804) were ordered to be manufactured by the Chinese mandarin T_ B_ S‰m, chin. ___ , who was in charge of the foreign supervision and diplomatic exchanges with the southern border neighbours. The Vietnamese delegation mandarins had been sent to China and requested officially, to acknowledge the new Vietnamese leader-in-power, Nguy_n PhÅ“c çnh (___) , as new king of their country. Two delegations were sent from Vietnam, and the Chinese side finally came to the conclusion, to bestow the new Vietnamese ruler with the title of 'king of Vietnam', not with title 'emperor' - equal to the Chinese emperors title - as requested by the Vietnamese side. The porcelain selected or ordered by the Chinese side along with the installment document, is considered as a kind of present to the new vietnamese 'king'.The date mark Gi‡p T’ __ commemorates this political event - the founding year of the newly established Nguyen dynasty and the proclamation of its first ruler Nguy_n çnh (__) , who took the dynastic name 'Gia Long' after proclamation and enthronement. The specific design ordered and manufactured by the Chinese side as a diplomatic gift for the Vietnamese, represents and expresses the diplomatic controversy of the new Vietnamese ruler's title 'emperor' or 'king': A dragon with four claws.
