Several revolts against Chinese rule in the period between the beginning of the Six Dynasties to the end of the Tang Dynasty take place in the region of present Vietnam, such as those of Ly Bon and his general and heir Trieu Quang Phuc; and those of Mai Thúc Loan and Phùng Hung.

All of them ultimately fail, yet most notable are Ly Bon and Trieu Quang Phuc, whose Anterior Ly Dynasty will rule for almost half a century, from 544 to 602, before the Chinese Sui Dynasty reconquers their kingdom, Van Xuan.
