History (additions)
Since the fall of Huế during the Cần Vương rebellion against the French on 7 May 1885 the government of the French protectorate of Annam would gradually take over the management of the budget and finances of the government of the Southern dynasty. In 1894, the court of the Thành Thái Emperor assigned Resident-Superior Léon Jules Pol Boulloche to take care of the management of the state's revenues, expenditures, taxes, Etc. In 1900, the Governor-General of French Indochina issued a decree that established the Council of the Protectorate (Hội đồng Bảo hộ) alongside the Resident-Superior to "discuss and determine the revenue and expenditures of the budget of the French protectorate of Annam, but that this council would act according to the calculations and orders of the Resident-Superior. At the meetings of the Council of French Indochina (Hội đồng Đông Dương) the Governor-General would decide through executive orders."

Because of these reformes the Huế Court lost a lot of power and had to remove the privileges of the imperial family of the Nguyễn dynasty. This meant a reduction in provisions and money given to the descendants of the imperial lineage, gradually a number of members of the Imperial Clan of the Nguyễn dynasty would fall into poverty as they heavily relied on state welfare.

In an 1938 interview in the Tràng An newspaper with the Đại thần of the Court of the Imperial Clan (宗人府大臣, Tôn Nhơn phủ Đại thần) Ưng Trình (1882—1974) about a petition that the members of the imperial clan have to the same taxes as the other groups represented in the House of People's Representatives of Annam, Ưng Trình noted that there were 2000 male members Phủ Tôn Nhơn aged 18 to 60 and that 3 out of 4 were unemployed and did not own any land. This showed that a lot of the members of the imperial clan lived in poverty and battled with many difficulties such as chronic unemployment and hunger.

Đồng tôn tương tế phổ


The Đồng tôn tương tế phổ (Hán-Nôm: 同尊相濟譜; French: Association Secours Assistance Mutuels Famille Royale Annam) was officially established in November 1926 by well to do members of the imperial clan, the organisation was tasked with trying to help the poorer members of the imperial clan through solidarity, mutual assistance, care for mourning, hospitality, and education. The first meeting of the Đồng tôn tương tế phổ was held by its 21 founders at the headquarters of the Court of the Imperial Clan in Huế, the establishment ceremony of the organisation was attended by a number of officials of the Court of the Imperial Clan as well as French and Vietnamese guests. Unlike the Court of the Imperial Clan which pertained itself to the political and religious affairs of the Nguyễn Phúc clan, the Đồng tôn tương tế phổ was established "to compel the kinship and cordiality of relatives of the imperial clan and to advise each other to do good, in the following ways: First, to obtain the resources or money to support each other in the case of an accident and with the mourning process; secondly, to help members of the imperial clan to educate their children to be intelligent and provide money for and help with the education of the impoverished members of the imperial clan to help them attain literacy or apprenticeships, and thirdly, the association wrote congratulatory letters as well as invitations and distributed gifts to members of the imperial clan for their happiness".

The members of the Đồng tôn tương tế phổ agreed on a detailed draft programme with 55 points which would dictate what the organisation would do. The people who helped draft this programme included both Confucianists and Western educated members, the members who helped draft the programme included the Tham tri of the Ministry of War (Binh bộ Tham tri) Ưng Bàng, the Lang trung of the Ministry of Justice (Lang trung Bộ Hình) Tôn Thất Toại, the administrator Bửu Trưng, the Tham tri of the Ministry of Public Works (Công bộ Tham tri) Ưng Đồng, the provisional manager of education of the Ministry of Rites (Thị độc học sĩ Tạm phái Lễ bộ) Ưng Gia, and the French-trained educator Ưng Lộc. The Đồng tôn tương tế phổ's programme was finally approved by the interim Resident-Superior of Annam Jean Charles Joseph d'Elloy on 6 October 1926.

On the 16th day of the 8th month of the year Bảo Đại 2 (11 September 1927) the Đồng tôn tương tế phổ held another meeting at the palace of the Court of the Imperial Clan which was attended by 99 members of the association, during this meeting they discussed a review of the programme. A revised charter was drafted which would lend books and distribute ink to good students who were members of the Nguyễn Phúc imperial clan. On 13 March 1928 the Resident-Superior of Annam Jules Friès approved the new charter. From this point onwards the Đồng tôn tương tế phổ became an official association with 184 members enjoying full legal status that was recognised by the government, had a strict organisational structure, budget, and its own seal.

The seal of the Đồng tôn tương tế phổ was circular in shape and was divided into two parts, in the outer ring was the inscription Association Secours Assistance Mutuels Famille Royale-Annam in French (which translated into Vietnamese as Hội Cứu tế - Tương tế hoàng tộc - Trung kỳ), while in its centre were the Traditional Chinese characters "同尊相濟譜" (Đồng tôn tương tế phổ) followed by the French inscription Comite Central Hue.



All rules and regulations of the association were published in a book entitled the Đồng-tôn-tương-tế phổ Chương-trình (同尊相濟譜章程, "Programme of the Đồng tôn tương tế phổ") first published in Huế in 1930. The contents of the book were dictated by the Board of Trustees and it contained the purpose, principles, ideals, and modes of operation of association, as well as the rights and obligations of its members. Additionally, documents related to the annual General Assembly meeting were also synthesised and published by the Board of Trustees into books for distribution to members for reference and monitoring.

The organisational structure of the Đồng tôn tương tế phổ was headed by a Governing Council (Hội đồng trị sự), which (during its establishment in 1926) consisted of 1 chief (Phổ trưởng), 1 deputy chief (Phó Phổ trưởng), 1 secretary (Thư ký), 2 deputy secretaries (Phó Thư ký) of which 1 would be a French language specialist and 1 would be a Chinese characters specialist, 1 fund manager (Trưởng quỹ), and 1 depupty fund manager (Phó Trưởng quỹ). By 1927, the Governing Council had adjusted its organisational apparatus, and from here the organisational structure of the association would change regularly from time to time to suit the actual situation of the time and match the development of organisation.

Officially the Bảo Đại Emperor was the head of the organisation and he personally donated 1000 piastres during its first year of existence. Furthermore, honourary members of the association also included the Resident-Superior of Annam and many high ranking members of the government of the Southern dynasty.

The organisation also had provincial chapters which were allowed to elect a delegate to attend the annual meetings in the Imperial City of Huế. Every year the Governing Council would summarise the work done in the previous year, make a report on the income and expenditures of the association, and discuss the plans for the next year.

The association helped members of the Nguyễn Phúc clan study (from primary school to university), teach them morality, start private businesses, and study abroad in Hanoi or Western countries. During its existence the Đồng tôn tương tế phổ helped many members of the Nguyễn Phúc clan improve their professional skills and offered financial support to the younger members of the clan by providing literacy training, vocational training, and university scholarships.

With the abolition of the Nguyễn dynasty in 1945 the Court of the Imperial Clan was abolished which also meant the end of the national operations of the Đồng tôn tương tế phổ.

Cut from the draft
There were 6 types of members:



Hội đồng trị sự Nguyễn Phước Tộc
After the abolition of the Nguyễn dynasty state in 1945 the Court of the Imperial Clan changed from being a government agency into a non-governmental organisation becoming the Hội đồng trị sự Nguyễn Phước Tộc which continued to fulfill the roles of the Court of the Imperial Clan.

Nguyễn Phước Tộc tương tế hội
The Nguyễn Phước Tộc tương tế hội was established by Decree No. 876/BNV/KS/14 (Nghị định số 876/BNV/KS/14) issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Government of South Vietnam. The creation of the Nguyễn Phước Tộc tương tế hội was requested by the Hội đồng trị sự Nguyễn Phước Tộc to fulfill the duties of the earlier Đồng tôn tương tế phổ that existed during the Nguyễn dynasty period to help the members of the Nguyễn Phúc clan.

While the Nguyễn Phước Tộc tương tế hội was initially effective, it was eventually abolished.
