History books record that in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongluo (also known as Ming Cheng Ancestor Zhou De) decided to move the capital to Nanjing (present-day Beijing). At that time, this emperor had just finished conquering Vietnam (1407) and captured the entire Ho Dynasty court to China. Among those who were brought to be eunuchs was Nguyen An.

According to the "Minh Su", Nguyen An (1381 - 1453) was a person in Ha Dong (present-day Hanoi). He was assigned by Emperor Yonglac to build the Forbidden City together with the eunuch Zheng Hoa (Chinese).

In addition, Nguyen An is really a very talented person, who clearly showed it in the process of serving the Ming emperor.

"Minh Su" wrote about Nguyen An as follows: "There is a person named Nguyen An, who has a reputation for being pure, honest, and loved by the king more than everyone else. The king's (Thanh To) plan to Yen Do was only used by Nguyen An. Mr. Nguyen An was good at architecture. The main models of the two palaces, the three palaces, the houses, and the companies in the capital of Beijing made by Mr. An.

The officials in the Ministry of Public Works cannot be changed, just fold their a.rms and follow the pattern that has been drawn. The things that the king rewarded from before to after are all contributed to architectural works. Own no more than 10 gold coins."

Meanwhile, historian Truong Tu Dan once said about this Vietnamese eunuch that: "Mr. Nguyen An is a Vietnamese who has brought all his intelligence to capture the quintessence of Chinese culture, actively develop talents, and then devote that talent to Chinese culture".
