To Hien Thanh is always considered one of the most prominent mandarins in the dynastic time of Vietnam. He helped the emperor in both civil and military matters. He was also granted the title Prince and thus became the only possessor of the title who did not come from the Ly royal family. The achievements and loyalty of To Hien Thanh to the infant emperor Ly Cao Tong made him a highly praised figure in the history of Vietnam.
