In the early spring of 1789, Nguyen Hue, who was later proclaimed Emperor Quang Trung, led his troops in the fight against the invasion of the Qing dinasty, during which over 20,000 Qing troops were defeated, liberating the imperial city of Thang Long and regaining national independence and freedom.
Since then, the 5th day of the first lunar month has become the traditional day.
