The Đinh Nho clan
of Hương Sơn
Dòng họ Đinh Nho ở Hương Sơn, Hà Tĩnh
Seven family trees, from the 16th century to the present day — from the ancestral mother Hoàng Quý Thị and the founder Đinh Phúc Diên to today's generations, across the senior, younger, illustrious, Thanh Liên and Cương Gián branches, and the extended Đinh house.
Gia phả · Family tree
Dòng họ Đinh Nho Global tree — generations 1 to 8 · the trunk and the four branches
Line founded at An Ấp (formerly tổng Yên Ấp; today the commune of An Hòa Thịnh), district of Hương Sơn, Hà Tĩnh. From the founder Đinh Phúc Diên (arrived c. 1530–1546) up to the 8th generation, where the line branches into four chi (branches).
This tree lays out the founding structure of the clan. For six generations the line is « độc đinh » — a single male heir per generation. At the 7th generation, Doctor Đinh Nho Công breaks this single line and inaugurates the scholarly tradition (khoa bảng): his six sons give rise, at the 8th generation, to four branches that will continue down to the 20th–21st generations. Backbone: the book of Đinh Tú Anh (2023); corroborated by web sources and the clan forum; divergences flagged.
The single-son trunk — generations 1 to 6
« Từ cụ thủy tổ đến đời thứ 6 họ ta độc đinh » — a single male heir per generation. All trained in letters (tứ trường), without yet reaching the doctorate.
The branching — generation 8
The six sons of Đinh Nho Công, grouped by mother. Four found a lasting branch; two have no male descent (but one of them, the Hoàng giáp Đinh Nho Hoàn, is the most illustrious of the clan).
The four branches (chi)
Issuing from the 8th generation, they continue down to the 20th–21st generations. These are the four trees to be developed next.
Chi trưởng — senior branch
Founder: Đinh Nho Trạch (8th gen.)
Sơn Hòa / An Hòa Thịnh (Hương Sơn). Line of the clan heads (tộc trưởng).
→ continues: Đinh Nho Thực (9th) → Đinh Nho Tể (10th) → … → 20th–21st gen.
Chi thứ — younger branch
Founder: Đinh Nho Thận (8th gen.)
Sơn Hòa, then Sơn Châu & Sơn Tân (Hương Sơn). Common worship at the ancestral house (đại tôn).
→ includes the Sơn Tân branch (Xa Lang), whence the historian Đinh Xuân Lâm.
Chi Cương Gián
Founder: Đinh Nho Thường (8th gen.)
Cương Gián, Nghi Xuân (Hà Tĩnh), via Can Lộc.
→ genealogy reconnected to the mother line on 14 Apr 2022 (work of Mr Đinh Quang Tích).
Chi Thanh Liên
Founder: Đinh Nho Côn (8th gen.)
Thanh Liên, Thanh Chương (Nghệ An).
→ produces the Tiến sĩ-poet Đinh Nhật Thận (11th gen.). Reconstitution and copying of the gia phả in 1838, then in 2010.

Divergences to be settled (on primary sources)
- Ages, gen. 2 & 3 — 2023 book: Trường 60, Bảo 73; forum: Trường 93, Bảo 60. (The other ages agree.)
- Origin of Cương Gián — descent from Đinh Nho Thường, 8th gen. (2023 book) vs brother of the founder (forum). The gia phả of Cương Gián will settle it.
- Death of Đinh Nho Hoàn — « 1715 » (departure on mission, Ất Mùi) vs « 1716 » (death, 27/12 lunar). Birth 1671 certain — the « 1670 » seen elsewhere is erroneous.
- Title of the founder — « Tả Hiệu Điểm, Công Tây Hầu » attributed to Đinh Phúc Diên (forum); a list in the 2023 book seems to attribute it to the brother Phúc Tiên. To be verified.
Still to be integrated

Gia phả · Chi trưởng — complete tree
The line of clan heads, complete Tộc trưởng · generations 7 to 19 — with wives and descent at each generation
Reconstruction by primogeniture of the senior branch (chi trưởng), from Doctor Đinh Nho Công to the current clan head Đinh Hải Quân. Each link was read page by page in the Gia Phả 2000 (scanned manuscript collection) by AI vision, and cross-checked with the 2023 book.
The tree reads from top to bottom: the golden disc carries the generation number (đời), the card gives the clan head, his wife or wives, then his children — the heir (★) taking up the vertical thread. The 13th–15th generations left no dates in the gia phả (flagged). The illustrious branch (the scholars Điển and Quang, the ancestress of Đặng Thai Mai) breaks off at the 13th generation.
The spine, generation by generation
The thread of the genealogy — six hands over five centuries
The genealogy was saved, recopied then translated from relay to relay. Several keepers belong to the senior branch (without always being clan head).
A chain of transmission
From the first burned register to the modern quốc ngữ version — then to the collection of the year 2000.
A note on branches A and B
In the genealogy, the codes « A » and « B » distinguish the two chi (branches) of the clan — not sub-branches of one same line.
What reading the Gia Phả 2000 made it possible to establish
- The complete father → son chain from the 7th to the 19th generation, with for each head his taboo name (húy), his wife and his children — the tree ceases to be a mere list.
- The attachment of the illustrious branch — the son Hy Tăng of Đinh Thái Lãng (12th gen.) is indeed the « Đinh Nho Tặng » / Đinh Nho Tĩnh of the 13th gen. (entry 13A5), father of the Tiến sĩ Điển, of the Tuần phủ Quang and of the ancestress of Đặng Thai Mai.
- The families of the recent heads — wives and children of the 16th (Đoàn Thị Kiều), 17th (Võ Thị Tùng) and 18th (Thái Thị Sâm) generations, up to the current head.
Divergences noted between the two sources
- Tomb of Đinh Nho Công (7th) — Lăng Kim Hoa (2023 book) vs xứ Cây Hóp, Sơn Phúc (Gia Phả 2000).
- Tomb of Đinh Nho Hành (16th) — Đồng Mậu (2023 book) vs Áng Phần (Gia Phả 2000).
- Death of Đinh Nho Liên (17th) — the gia phả hesitates between Ất Dậu (1945) and Bính Tuất (1946); the 2023 table retains 1946.

Gia phả · The illustrious branch
Quang, Điển and their posterity Descendants of Đinh Nho Tĩnh (13th gen.) — two scholars, an ancestress, and the academics of today
At the 13th generation, a younger son of the senior branch — Đinh Nho Tĩnh — fathers the three figures who will make the clan's renown: the Tuần phủ Đinh Nho Quang, the doctor Đinh Nho Điển, and Đinh Thị Hoan, whose line leads to Đặng Thai Mai and to General Võ Nguyên Giáp.
This tree follows these three offshoots, then the constellation of modern academics of the Đinh Nho clan (16th–18th generations). The precise attachment of each academic to Quang or Điển is not always recorded in the gia phả; what is documented is indicated as such, the rest being presented as the radiance of the senior branch as a whole.
The fork, at the 13th generation
♀ The third column follows a maternal line (Đặng family), outside the Đinh Nho patrilineage: it descends from a daughter of the clan.
The modern constellation of the Đinh Nho clan
The 2023 book lists, generation by generation, the clan's diplomats, officers and academics (senior A and younger B branches together). Here are its leading figures. Except where « Điển/Quang line » is noted, attachment to one of the two illustrious lines is not specified by the source.

Not to be confused
- Prof. Đinh Xuân Lâm (1925–2017) — one of the « four pillars » of Vietnamese historiography; but the book specifies that he descends from a Đinh Nho offshoot that passed from An Ấp to Xa Lang (Sơn Tân), of undetermined generation — he is therefore not attached here to the lines of Quang or Điển.

Gia phả · Younger branch (Chi thứ — code « B »)
The younger branch Đinh Nho Thận (8th gen.) — and the line that wrote the clan's history
Đinh Nho Công had two wives, both of the Đặng clan. The eldest son of the first founds the senior branch (Trạch); the eldest son of the second, Đinh Nho Thận, founds the younger branch. Both remain at Hương Sơn and share the ancestral house (nhà thờ đại tôn) — whence, in the gia phả, the codes A (senior) and B (younger).
The best-documented line of this branch is, remarkably, that of the 2023 book's author, Đinh Tú Anh (17B): a succession of teachers, and, collaterally, two patriots of the early 20th century. It is also this branch that, by the pen of its descendant, recorded all the history these trees retrace.
The line, from founder to author
Notes on the branch
Two branches, one house
Senior and younger descend from the same Đinh Nho Công, through his two wives; both remained at Hương Sơn, they honour their ancestors at the same nhà thờ đại tôn. The younger branch had its own small worship house at Đông Mỹ, sold around 1948 during the policy of grouping the cults.
Teachers and patriots
The branch is distinguished by a vocation for teaching (the master Đinh Nho Lệ) and by the patriotic commitment of the early 20th century: the Đông Du martyr Đinh Doãn Tế and the Côn Đảo prisoner Đinh Nho Bộc.
The branch that told its own story
A notable fact: it is a son of the younger branch, Đinh Tú Anh (17B), who wrote in 2023 the history of the whole clan. The chi thứ is thus the hand that holds the brush of this genealogy.
Limits of this tree
- The 10th–12th generations of the branch, and the continuation of its own heads (tộc trưởng chi thứ), are not named in my sources: the line detailed here is the author's sub-line, not necessarily that of the heads of the younger branch.
- Đinh Doãn Tế and Đinh Nho Bộc are placed at the 15th generation of the younger branch; their precise attachment to the author's sub-line is not established (they are its collaterals).

Gia phả · Thanh Liên branch (Thanh Chương, Nghệ An)
The founder and the poet Đinh Nho Côn (8th gen.) · and his great-grandson Đinh Nhật Thận (11th gen.)
One of the four branches from Doctor Đinh Nho Công. His youngest son, Đinh Nho Côn, soldier and scholar, leaves Hương Sơn for Thanh Chương (Nghệ An) and founds the Thanh Liên offshoot there. Three generations below is born the poet Đinh Nhật Thận, one of the great voices of 19th-century Vietnamese literature.
This branch is rich in figures but sparse in genealogy: the Gia Phả 2000 of Hương Sơn did not catalogue the Thanh Chương offshoot, and the two intermediate generations remain unknown to my sources. The tree below is therefore honest about its gaps, and deploys instead the portrait of the two attested figures.
The line, from trunk to poet
Đinh Nhật Thận, the voice of exile
Đinh Nhật Thận
1815 – 1866 · 51 yearsBorn at Thanh Liêu (today the commune of Thanh Tiên, Thanh Chương, Nghệ An), renowned for his intelligence and memory, he receives in 1838 the title of doctor — first in his category at the metropolitan examination (Minh Mệnh 19), at 23. Named tri phủ, he is then dismissed for obscure reasons; reinstated in 1843, he declines, citing illness. A free spirit, he devotes himself to medicine, poetry and friendship, and becomes intimately close to Cao Bá Quát and Nguyễn Hàm Ninh.
After the Mỹ Lương uprising led by Cao Bá Quát (1854), he is implicated and closely watched. Knowing his immense learning, Emperor Tự Đức keeps him at the palace — to better control him, and for him to teach the imperial grandsons. There, secluded and consumed by nostalgia, one autumn night, drinking alone, he composes in a single stroke the Thu dạ lữ hoài ngâm. The work reaches the sovereign who, admiring his talent and uprightness, pardons him.
Returning home, he teaches until his death in 1866.
Thu dạ lữ hoài ngâm
秋夜旅懷吟 · « The traveller's autumn night lament »
One hundred and forty verses in classical Chinese, cast in the song thất lục bát — a purely Vietnamese metre, a striking choice for a work in hán. It is the song of a man detained without cause at the heart of the capital, whose heart remains « empty, frozen and alien », turned entirely toward his village and his own. It is this lament that inscribed his name in Vietnam's literary history — to the point that a tradition holds the author himself translated it into nôm.
Thuyền ai tưởng khách non Hàn, lại không! » — excerpt from the Vietnamese version (public domain work, 19th c.)
Notes on the branch
A land of learning
Thanh Liên / Thanh Tiên, at Thanh Chương (Nghệ An), is renowned as « đất học » — a land of scholars: it counted many examination laureates who then put their knowledge at the service of the people.
The link to the ancestral cult
Though settled in Nghệ An, the founder Đinh Nho Côn remains linked to the mother house: canonized Phúc thần, he is honoured at the Gôi Vị temple of Hương Sơn, alongside the clan's other sacred figures.
A question of name
The Hương Sơn trunk bears the name « Đinh Nho »; this Thanh Chương offshoot produced the form « Đinh Nhật » (Đinh Nhật Thận). The local genealogy, due to the poet, remains the key to tracing these generations.
Limits of this tree
- The 9th and 10th generations of the branch (between Đinh Nho Côn and Đinh Nhật Thận) do not appear in my sources, nor does the poet's descent: the Gia Phả 2000 of Hương Sơn does not cover the Thanh Chương offshoot.
- A genealogy specific to Thanh Liên, compiled by Đinh Nhật Thận himself, is mentioned by the 2023 book: this would be the source to use to complete this offshoot.

Gia phả · Cương Gián branch (Nghi Xuân, Hà Tĩnh)
The rediscovered branch The Cương Gián offshoot, separated from the trunk around 1700, reconnected in 2013
At Cương Gián (Nghi Xuân), there is only one Đinh clan, keeping the memory of a « great mandarin » ancestor. For generations, its origin remained an enigma — until a patient inquiry (2008–2013) linked it to the Đinh Nho clan of Sơn Hòa, at Hương Sơn.
The attachment of this branch to the trunk long « caused debate »: its tree jumps directly from the 7th generation to an anonymous local founder. This dossier recounts the quest for reconnection, sets out the reasoning that identified the founder, and clearly distinguishes what is confirmed from what remains a hypothesis.
The line, as it is reconstructed
The inquiry: finding the trunk (2008–2013)
Account by Đinh Quang Tích, of the Đinh clan of Cương Gián, who led the research and published it on the Họ Đinh Việt Nam portal.
Oral tradition describes the founder as a great mandarin: at major ceremonies, offerings were laid out in the courtyard for dozens of guards and horses escorting the ancestor. Elders had searched for the origin, in vain.
The preface of the genealogy (Trung Sơn branch) reveals ancestors coming from Gia Viễn (Ninh Bình), settled at « An Ấp » and « Cổ Ngu », and two doctors, father and son, under the Lê. An Ấp is identified as Sơn Hòa (Hương Sơn) and Cổ Ngu as Đức Thọ.
Visit to the Đinh clan of Trung Lương (Đức Thọ): similar origins (Gia Viễn → An Ấp / Cổ Ngu, two doctors father and son), but no direct link can be established. Disappointment.
In August, the author discovers the Họ Đinh Việt Nam site and publishes his appeal there. A few days later, the tộc trưởng Đinh Nho Quỳ (Sơn Hòa) contacts him by email and sends him a copy of the Hương Sơn genealogy.
On the day of Rằm Tháng Bảy, the Đinh of Cương Gián bring their gia phả to Sơn Hòa for an official comparison. The two registers coincide from the 1st generation (Đinh Phúc Diên) to the 7th (Đinh Nho Công) — names, wives' clans, titles. The kinship is established.
How the founder was identified
A four-step deduction
The kinship with Sơn Hòa being proven, it remained to determine who, at the 8th generation, had carried the name as far as Cương Gián. Since the gia phả does not name him, reasoning was required.
Notes on the branch
One clan, two worship houses
Cương Gián has only ever had one Đinh clan, divided into two offshoots: the senior branch (chi anh) at Trung Sơn, the younger (chi em) at Song Long.
Proof by the generations
Thirteen generations at Cương Gián, plus the seven of the trunk, give the 20th — precisely the current level of Sơn Hòa. This alignment powerfully supports the kinship.
The detour via Can Lộc
The Hương Sơn genealogy says Đinh Nho Thường left for Thuần Thiện (Can Lộc) — a region bordering Cương Gián, separated by a single ridge, whence daily marriages and commerce: a natural relay before permanent settlement.
To note
- The Cương Gián offshoot also uses the form « Đinh Nguyễn » (Đinh Nguyễn Đôn); its founder is designated locally only by « Đinh Đại Lang ».
- The same inquiry ruled out two neighbouring leads: the Đinh clan of Trung Lương (Đức Thọ) and that of Thuần Thiện (Can Lộc), without any direct link established with Cương Gián.

The extended Đinh house · above the Đinh Nho clan
The brothers' branches The mother Hoàng Quý Thị and the lines of her other sons: Nghi Long, Đức Thủy, Hàm Giang
Đinh Phúc Diên, founder of the Đinh Nho, was not alone: he had three brothers, sons of one mother, Hoàng Quý Thị. Each founded his own Đinh line. Here are their trees, insofar as the sources document them.
For each branch, the tree follows what is attested — often the spine of an illustrious line rather than a complete survey. Two branches (Nghi Long, Đức Thủy) are solidly linked to the common trunk; that of Hàm Giang remains contested, and the tree honestly presents both rival versions.
The ancestral mother
Mother of the four Đinh brothers, descendants of General Đinh Điền (924–979). In 1527, fleeing the Mạc usurpation, she makes her way with her sons to the hamlet of Thu Lũng (today Nghi Thu, Cửa Lò). She drowns there while washing clothes; a storm covers her tomb with a great mound — « buried by Heaven », it is said, and held most sacred. Her sons then disperse into four lines.
2nd brother — Nghi Long, họ Đinh Văn
LinkedFounded by Đinh Phúc Tiên, who stayed to tend their mother's tomb. The most brilliant of the sister branches: five successive generations of doctors, and the great monk Thích Minh Châu.
↳ A remarkable parallel: like the Đinh Nho with the Tiến sĩ Đinh Nho Công and his son the Hoàng giáp Đinh Nho Hoàn, the Nghi Long branch offers two doctors, father and son — Đinh Văn Chất and Đinh Văn Chấp. It is by a couplet of the latter, offered to the Đinh Nho house, that the common origin was reaffirmed (Gia Viễn / Hoan–Ái / Hồng–Lam).
3rd brother — Đức Thủy, họ Đinh Trọng → Đinh Văn
LinkedFounded by the 3rd brother (whose given name has been lost) at Đông Khê, Cổ Ngu (today Đức Thủy, Đức Thọ). The clan takes the name Đinh Văn from the 9th generation onward.
4th brother — Hàm Giang, họ Đinh
⚠ ContestedThe 4th brother, Đinh Phúc An, set off again toward the North. The Đinh Văn of Nghi Long call him the ancestor of the Đinh clan of Hàm Giang (today Hải Dương) — that of the famous General Đinh Văn Tả. But the two clans tell irreconcilable stories: here are the two versions.
Version of Nghi Long (stele of the 4 brothers)
- Đinh Phúc An (4th brother, younger than Phúc Tiên born in 1477) — sent to the North.
- …
- Military general Đinh Văn Phủ — died in battle at Hải Dương in 1600.
- General Đinh Văn Tả (born 1599) — that is, the descendant at the 4th generation of Phúc An.
Version of Hàm Giang (annals, 1891 & 1936)
- Thái bảo Thạch Quận công Đinh Đàm (~1365; joins Lê Lợi in 1418).
- Đinh Phúc An (attachment to Đàm uncertain).
- Đức Giang Hầu (son of Phúc An; actor in the 1460 coup → therefore born before ~1440).
- Đô đốc Dương Sơn hầu Đinh Đam.
- Thái bảo Hùng Quận công Đinh Phủ (died ~1600, at Yên Trường / Thanh Hóa).
- Lộc Quận công Đinh Văn Tả (born 1599) — descendant at the 5th generation of Phúc An.
The contradiction. If Phúc An is indeed the 4th brother (younger than Phúc Tiên, born in 1477), he cannot have a son — Đức Giang Hầu — already active in the coup d'état of 1460: that would put his birth before 1420, that is, a generation before his eldest brother. The two accounts also diverge on the death of Đinh Phủ (Hải Dương vs Thanh Hóa) and on the rank of Đinh Văn Tả (4th or 5th generation). For want of proof, the link is not established — hence two meetings between clan heads (2014, 2018) that reached no conclusion. A single point commands the unanimity of the four lines: descent from General Đinh Điền.
In the margin — the Đinh clan of Trung Lương
Open questions
- The given name of the 3rd brother (Đức Thủy) is lost.
- The trees of Nghi Long and Đức Thủy are given by their illustrious lines; the generation-by-generation detail of all the families is not in my sources.
- For Hàm Giang, the two versions are chronologically incompatible: the link remains a claim, not an established fact.
