Nong Quanfu (Chinese:儂全福;pinyin:Nóng Quánfú,Zhuang:Nungz Cienzfuk; ?-1039), also recorded asNùng Tồn Phúc (Vietnamese:Nùng Tồn Phúc;Chữ Hán:儂存福), was aZhuang (Nùng) chieftain and the founding emperor of the Kingdom of Changqi (長其國). He was originally azhou-level official[1] of theNorthern Song dynasty inGuangyuan (modern-dayCao Bằng, Vietnam) in the 11th century AD. He was the father ofNong Zhigao.[2][3]
Nong Quanfu was a son ofNong Minfu, a local chieftain ofGuangyuan. Nong Minfu received the titlesMinister of Works (司空) andgrand master of splendid happiness bearing the golden pocket with purple trimming (金紫光祿大夫) from the Northern Song court, which he eventually passed on to his son, Nong Zhigao.[4] Nong Quanfu was then granted the additional authority to rule Thang Do prefecture in the southeastern corner of the present-day Jingxi county, in Guangxi.[5] His younger brother and brother-in-law controlled two other nearby prefectures.[5] Quanfu's home prefecture was a great source of gold, which together with his domination over local trade route along theBang river must have largely increased his wealth and political influence.[5] Around 1020, Nong Quanfu marriedA Nong, a shamaness and the daughter of a noted chieftain of the Nong clan.[6] Later,A Nong became his primary political advisor.[6] UnderA Nong's instruction, Quanfu killed his brother who was a leader in theCen (岑) clan and took his land.[7][8][a] Nung/Zhuang chieftains allocated lands to followers in a true feudal system, with some attributes of slave-holding practices.[1] The amount of land controlled by a chieftain affected the number of men he could field, a powerful incentive to expansive warfare.[1] The Nong clan eventually controlled 14 majors dongs, compared to 5 claimed by the Huang clan.[1] Quanfu found the Kingdom of Changqi (長其國; alternatively known as "Kingdom of Changsheng" 長生國) and took for himself theregnal name "Emperor Zhaosheng" (昭聖皇帝).[9] He gave his wifeA Nong the title "Empress Mingde" (明德皇后).[9] Nong Quanfu then broke off all ties with the Lý dynasty, then during the reign ofLý Thái Tông, but was finally captured and executed by the Lý court in 1039.[9][8]
