The treasured document has been kept by the Dang family in An Hai commune, Ly Son island district, for more than 170 years.
King Minh Mang promulgated the edict to send three boats and 24 seamen to defend Hoang Sa in 1835. A member of the Dang family was entrusted to guide the team.
According to Nguyen Dang Vu, Deputy Director of the Quang Ngai Department for Culture, Sports and Tourism, the edict is the only original document on Hoang Sa found so far in Ly Son.
Vu added that many families had previously provided royal edicts and other documents regarding Hoang Sa island, but only photocopies and not originals./.
