History
editIn the area of Quỳnh Lưu rural district about 1956, an international shocking political event occurred, which was often called the Quỳnh Lưu uprising (Khởi nghĩa Quỳnh Lưu) by South Vietnamese historians.
At least two Catholic villages have been armed to protest the brutal land reform policy of the Central Government of North Vietnam. This action has bloated the fire of anger across the North and caused the Democratic Republic of Vietnam leaders to seriously divide.
In order to extinguish the effect of the oil spot, the government of Hồ Chí Minh personally mobilized two elite divisions to his homeland "to punish the rebellious" (dẹp tan bè-lũ phản-động). Although the evolution of the event was lighter by communist communication organizations, the information about it still followed the fugents to go around the world.
The Ngô Đình Diệm government has made this opportunity to organize an international press conference in Saigon to denounce the crimes of the North regime. During the next two years, the people of South Vietnam continued to organize marches and exhibitions to express their communion with the fate of their compatriots in the North of the 17th parallel. From then until 1975 when the Republic of Vietnam collapsed, the catastrophic event in Quỳnh Lưu was included in the history textbook.
Culture
editIts name Quỳnh-lưu was a Hanese word, what appeared in 1430 by the Early Lê Dynasty. By scholars Thiều Chửu and Lê Chí Quế's ideas, it could be a negative way of Malayo-Polynesian name Keluar or Kuala ("the seaport"), which repeated in many locations along the Pacific Ocean. Previously, it belonged to an area without official boundaries, which was still called as Vọng-giang by some local officials from Tang Dynasty.
This rural district is often said to be the hometown of a 18th-century literary figure : Female poet Hồ Xuân Hương.
Geography
