Lâm Ấp (Vietnamese pronunciation of Middle Chinese 林邑 *liɪm ʔˠiɪp̚, > standard Chinese: Linyi) was a Cham kingdom located in central Vietnam that existed from around 192 CE to 629 CE in what is today central Vietnam. and was one of the earliest recorded Champa kingdoms. The ruins of its capital, the ancient city of Kandapurpura is now located in Long Tho Hill, 3 kilometers to the west of the city of Huế.

Earlier western scholarship believed Linyi in Chinese records to refer to Champa itself, but Champa expansion northwards may have resulted in the Chinese applying the name Linyi to the Champa imperial city Trà Kiệu (Simhapura) along with Mỹ Sơn Sanctuary and the Thu Bồn River valley around 600 AD.[1]

Lâm Ấp was founded by Khu Liên, a Cham leader who led a successful rebellion against the Han dynasty in Xianglin county (modern-day Thừa Thiên Huế province).[2] He was mentioned in the Võ Cạnh stele which was erected around 2nd or 3rd century CE. During the Three Kingdoms period of China, turmoil plagued the region of Jiaozhou. In 248, Lâm Ấp force invaded from the south, seized most of Rinan, and marched on into Jiuzhen, provoking major uprisings there and in Jiaozhi. One Jiaozhi rebel commanded thousands and invested several walled towns before Wu officials got him to surrender.[3] The maternal grandson of Khu Liên, Phạm Hùng attacked Jiaozhou with aid from Funan.[4]

In the early period of Jin dynasty, the imperial court favored the southern trade networks with prosperity kingdoms of Funan and Lâm Ấp. Along with this brief peacetime “boom” in the southern trade, Jiaozhi and Jiuzhen enjoyed some autonomy from China until the 320s.[5] Frustrated by the difficulty of trade, Lâm Ấp itself resorted from 323 to seaborne raids on northern ports in Jiaozhou.[5] In 399, Phạm Hồ Đạt invaded the coast of Jiaozhou and Rinan, and was driven back by Du Yian, the Chinese governor of Jiao.[6] In 413, he attacked Jiao again, but was defeated, captured and beheaded by Du Xuedu. In 420, Phạm Dương Mại I launched a new attack against the Jin, but was driven back and more than half of Lâm Ấp's people were slaughtered.[7] In 431, his son Phạm Dương Mại II again attacked, but again was driven back. The next year, Phạm Dương Mại II sent a embassy to the court of Liu Song asking for the appointment of Prefect of Jiao, which was declined.[6]

In February 446, the Liu Song dynasty led by T'an Ho-ch'u invaded Lâm Ấp, captured Lâm Ấp's capital (near modern Huế). The Chinese attackers plundered its eight temples and treasury, carrying off 100,000 pounds of gold.[8][7] Despite that, the revived Lâm Ấp was flourishing on the ever more lucrative passing sea trade.[8]

In 534, sent embassy to China. In 543, he attacked Lý Bôn in Jiaozhou who was in revolt against the Chinese Liang dynasty but was defeated by Lý Bôn's general Phaum Tu. In 595, Phạm Phạn Chí sent a tribute gift to the Sui dynasty. In 605 Yang Chien ordered Liu Fang to invade Lâm Ấp. Chinese troops captured the Cham capital of Trà Kiệu, plundered the city. While returning to China, Liu Fang and his army were decimated by diseases.[9]

Since 629, the Chams had used the name "Champa" to refer their state.[10][1]

Culture[]

My Son Temple in Tra Kieu

The capital of Lam Ap, Simhapura, was founded by King Bhadravarman in mid-fourth century. The third inscription of Bhadravarman is the oldest surviving text in Cham language and also any Southeast Asian language.[11]

Archaeological excavations recovered artifacts from Go Cam, near Tra Kieu (Simhapura) dated from late second century AD to the third century show that early Lâm Ấp had a significant amount of Chinese influences before the Indianization.[12][13] These artifacts include some fragments of tiles and seal inscribed Chinese characters "Seal of the Envoy of the Yellow God,"[14] however they might be artifacts left by the previous Han Rinan government.[15]
