Emperor of Nam Việt (Nanyue) from 203 BC to 137 BC; founder of the Triệu dynasty
Zhao Tuo (Chinese: 趙佗; pinyin: Zhào Tuó; Wade–Giles: Chao4 T‘o2), rendered as Triệu Đà in Vietnamese, was a Qin dynasty Chinese general and first emperor of Nanyue. He participated in the conquest of the Baiyue peoples of Guangdong, Guangxi and Northern Vietnam. After the fall of the Qin, he established the independent kingdom of Nanyue with its capital in Panyu (now Guangzhou) in 204 BCE.[1] Some traditional Vietnamese history scholars considered him the founder of the Triệu dynasty while some contemporary historians contest that he was a foreign invader.[2]
