Ly Bon came from the service aristocracy. In 541 he headed a popular uprising against the Chinese administration. In 544 the Chinese vicegerent and garrison were finally driven out of the country. In the same year Ly Bon declared himself emperor, under the name Ly Nam-De, and founded the Van Xuan empire. In 545 he began a war for Vietnam’s independence with the Liang dynasty of China. Under Ly Bon’s immediate successors, the country’s independence from China was consolidated.
