At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Triệu Đà married a Nam Viet wife. He took control of the region of modern-day Guangdong and Guangxi. Triệu Đà 趙佗 built up his power and territory, then partially through alliances with Nam Việt.
Triệu Đà declared himself the King of Nam Việt " Nanyue " ("Southern viet") and set up his capital at Panyu (番禺) the site of modern-day Guangzhou. Triệu Đà made up the name Nam viet , then became vietnam.
Triệu Đà who consider to be Vietnamese do so on the basis that his seizure of Âu Lạc and his independent rule of it were an act of defiance of the Western Han Dynasty. They believe that the dynasty he founded, nhà Triệu, should be included in the official record of Vietnamese dynastic history. Canton and Canxi should belong to Vietnam territory today.
