Why did Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest city, not become the capital?

Vietnam is our neighbor and a country we are very familiar with. As we all know, the largest city in Vietnam is Ho Chi Minh City, and the second largest city is the capital Hanoi. Among them, Hanoi, located in northern Vietnam, is the largest city in northern Vietnam. In 20 19, it was rated as the 265th among the top 500 cities in the world. Ho Chi Minh City, located in the south of Vietnam, is the largest city in the south of Vietnam. In 20 19, Ho Chi Minh City was ranked123rd among the top 500 cities in the world, and it also has the largest international airport in Vietnam-Johor Bahru International Airport. Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi are the urban centers of northern and southern Vietnam respectively, and they play an important role in Vietnam.

Ho Chi Minh City used to be called "Saigon". Its early socio-economic development was influenced by the western economy, and its business was relatively developed. In the last century, when Vietnam was divided into north and south, it was once the capital of South Vietnam. Later, after the reunification of North and South Vietnam, the Vietnamese people renamed Saigon Ho Chi Minh City to commemorate Ho Chi Minh, the founder of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. At present, it is the best city and the largest city in Vietnam. Judging from the geographical conditions, economic aggregate, city size, prosperity and later development, Ho Chi Minh City has obvious advantages over Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. So why didn't Vietnam choose Ho Chi Minh City, which has advantages in all aspects, and choose Hanoi?

Historically, Vietnam has long been a part of our Central Plains dynasty. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, Qin Jun conquered Luoyue (northern Vietnam, Luoyue became a part of Xiang County of Qin Dynasty. Since then, Vietnam has been included in the actual jurisdiction of the Qin Dynasty, but Vietnam at that time was far worse than it is now, only referring to the northern part of Vietnam, that is, the Red River Plain in Vietnam and its surrounding areas (Hanoi is located in the Red River Plain in Vietnam). In the Sui Dynasty, in order to manage the northern part of Vietnam, the imperial court changed Hanoi to Songping County as the government residence of Jiaozhi County. In the Tang Dynasty, the Tang court moved the Jiaozhou government to Hanoi, which was the general government of Jiaozhou in the Tang Dynasty (later the Annan Duhu government). Since then, Hanoi has become the center of northern Vietnam.

Due to the special geographical conditions in Vietnam, it was on the edge of the rule of the Central Plains dynasty, and the management of the Central Plains court was loose. Therefore, in ancient Vietnam, it was common to betray the Central Plains dynasty and stand on one's own feet or become independent. However, after Vietnam's separatist regime or independence, the capital of the new dynasty will generally choose Hanoi, but each dynasty has different names for Hanoi. With the passage of time, Hanoi's position in Vietnam is becoming more and more important, the city scale is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more places of interest, and the historical and cultural heritage is getting deeper and deeper.

The history of Ho Chi Minh City is much less than that of Hanoi. At first, it was just a small fishing village named "Poullien Brothers" in the Kingdom of Cambodia, surrounded by swamps or mud pits, which was unknown all the year round. The geographical advantage here is obvious. With the passage of time, it has gradually developed into an important trading port of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Later, due to the continuous civil strife in Vietnam, many Vietnamese refugees came to neighboring Cambodia, and the King of Cambodia settled them in Poullien. However, as more and more Vietnamese refugees poured into Poullien, it gradually became the territory of the Vietnamese, and the Vietnamese turned against each other, making Poullien a part of Vietnam and began to be called "Saigon" by the Vietnamese.

After Saigon was incorporated into Vietnam, it became more and more prosperous because of its superior geographical conditions. Later, it gradually developed and became an important city in southern Vietnam under the management of French colonists. After World War II, with the intervention of the United States, Vietnam was divided into two parts, with Hanoi as its capital and Saigon as its capital. Since then, Saigon has become the largest and most important city in southern Vietnam. Due to the unfavorable progress in Vietnam, Americans began to fall into the quagmire of Vietnam, which made the anti-war enthusiasm in the United States soar, so Americans withdrew their troops from Vietnam on 1975. After the Americans left Vietnam, North Vietnam subsequently defeated South Vietnam and unified the whole territory of Vietnam.

After the victory, North Vietnam renamed Saigon "Ho Chi Minh City" to commemorate its revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh. As a winner, North Vietnam naturally chose Hanoi, where the revolution is deeply rooted, and Hanoi, which is rich in Vietnamese culture, as its capital, and would never choose Ho Chi Minh City, which has been run by capitalist South Vietnam for many years. In their eyes, Ho Chi Minh City is just a prosperous city, and their sacred capital will always be Hanoi, a city in the north!

Although Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam today, it is superior to Hanoi in terms of city scale, supporting facilities, climate and environment, but due to historical reasons and Vietnamese cultural and emotional factors, Ho Chi Minh City will never surpass Hanoi and become the capital of Vietnam. What if Ho Chi Minh City, the largest city in Vietnam, is worse than Hanoi? That's history, culture and people's feelings!
