Minh Hương
The Minh Hương were descendants of Chinese, many of them Ming loyalists, who settled in Vietnam after the fall of the Ming dynasty in 1644. Registered as a separate community, they intermarried with Vietnamese, adopted local customs and served as merchants, officials and scholars under the Nguyen lords and emperors. The scholar-official Trịnh Hoài Đức was among them.
