Jiaozhi (Chinese: 交趾 or 交阯, pinyin: Jiāozhǐ; Vietnamese: Giao Chỉ) was the name of all or part of Vietnam's territory, from the Hùng Vương era to the middle of the Third Chinese domination (c. 7th-10th centuries), and during the Fourth Chinese domination (1407-1427).
Giao Chỉ was the name of one bộ, an administrative level equivalent to a district, of the former nation Văn Lang during the Hùng Vương era. Its territory included present-day Hà Nội and the land on the right bank of the Hồng river.
After annexing Âu Lạc (179 BC), the Nanyue divided the Âu Lạc into two divisions: Giao Chỉ and Cửu Chân.
The Han dynasty destroyed the Nanyue in 111 BC and annexed its territory, including Âu Lạc. Like the Nanyue, the Han divided Âu Lạc into 2 districts: Giao Chỉ and Cửu Chân. The head of the district was Chinese tàishǒu. The Giao Chỉ district (Giao Chỉ quận) was an administrative unit in the Giao Chỉ bộ, whose head was cìshǐ (the first one was Thạch Đái). The capital city of Giao Chỉ was firstly Mê Linh, but later moved to Liên Lâu (a region now at Thuận Thành suburban district, Bắc Ninh province).
Candy Lo is a Canto-rock singer-songwriter and actress from Hong Kong. She has released 9 studio albums, over 40 singles, 2 compilations, 1 live album and 1 EP with Sony Music to date. On June 11 she released her first EP on her new label WOW Music.
Before going solo Candy Lo was the lead vocalist in Hong Kong based rock band Black & Blue. Before the band released any material, they used to perform independently of Black & Blue as a band as well.
In 1995 Black & Blue released their first record titled Hope In Just One Day. A year later, in 1996 they released their second album eponymously titled Black & Blue. The former contains songs mostly sung in English while the latter is completely in Cantonese. Stepping away from English and singing completely in Cantonese had been a decision made in concordance with their record label so as to make themselves more understandable to fans. Lo wrote the lyrics to their songs herself.
In 1998 Candy Lo was signed to Sony Music, thereby starting her solo career. Her first release under Sony was an EP called Bat Seui Yiu...Yun Mei Dak Ho Pa (不需要...完美得可怕; Unnecessary To Want...Perfect Can Be Terrible). For this record she won a Golden Award in the same year. The style of this release continued on from her Canto-rock past with Black & Blue. In winter 1998, Candy released a second record called Miao, the title of which refers to Candy's love of cats and how "they listen while people sometimes don't." The album did not sell as much copies as expected. Producer Kubert Leung blamed the public, who "failed to grasp the concept of the album".
