Khúc Thừa Dụ was the head of the Khúc family in Hải Dương and was well known by people in the region for his wealth and benevolence. Khúc Thừa Dụ began to rule the region when the Tang dynasty entered its final stage of collapse, and is considered the ruler who marked the beginning of an independent Vietnam, which had until then been ruled by China. When he died in 907, his position was inherited by his son Khúc Hạo who continued to strengthen the autonomy and prosperity of the region.
