In the 10th century, in the context of newly established national unity, King Dinh Tien Hoang and King Le Dai Hanh established their capital in the rugged mountains of Hoa Lu for defense. After ascending the throne, Ly Thai To realized that stationing the capital in Hoa Lu capital as a defensive citadel was only suitable for the country's situation in the task of building and protecting the Fatherland. But by the Ly dynasty, the requirement to preserve the country was not an exclusive requirement, but the problem was to lay a solid and comprehensive foundation for the prosperity of an independent feudal nation, with the requirements of development. about everything. Therefore, unable to continue building the capital in the rugged mountainous area, Ly Thai To made a particularly important and historic decision to move the capital from Hoa Lu to Dai La citadel. The King issued the work "Edict to Move the Capital". The King affirmed ".... Dai La citadel, in the middle of heaven and earth, has the position of the Dragon sweeping the Tiger to sit, in the middle of North, South, East, and West, with a convenient shape of mountains and rivers, behind and before, the land is wide and flat, and the place is high.
