This was the earliest dynasty that recorded the names of scholars on 82 stelae now located in the Temple of Literature. This dynasty’s longest-reigning ruler instituted triennial civil service exams as part of a Confucian law code and carried out a brutal sack of Vijaya. The title “pacification commander” was given to this dynasty’s usurper (*) Mạc Dung Dang by the Jiajing Emperor. During this dynasty’s rule, Alexander de Rhodes popularized a Latin script (10[1])that would eventually replace Chữ (-5[1])Nôm. According (-5[1])to legend, this dynasty’s founder used the sword “Heaven’s Will,” which allowed him to change size at will. This dynasty’s founder led the Lam Son Uprising to end Ming rule in his territory. For 10 points, name this Vietnamese dynasty which lasted from the 1400s to the 1700s. ■END■ (10[3])
