context_page_description: Zhao Mo was the grandson and successor of Zhao Tuo, and the second ruler of Nanyue, a kingdom encompassing parts of southern China and northern Vietnam. His rule began in 137 BC and ended with his death in 124 BC. In Chinese history, Nanyue is considered to be a Chinese kingdom; however in Vietnam, he is considered to be a ruler of the Triệu Dynasty and a king of Vietnam.
context_section_description: Records from this period were written in classical Chinese and are transliterated, typically into either pinyin (romanized Chinese) or into alphabetical Vietnamese. The name 趙 眜 transliterates as Zhao Mo in pinyin, but as Triệu Mạt in Vietnamese. Zhao/Triệu is a family name, so Zhao Mo's dynasty is referred to as the Triệu Dynasty in Vietnam. His temple name described him as the "literary emperor." (Chinese: 趙文帝; pinyin: Zhào Wén Dì; Vietnamese: Triệu Văn Đế).
  Zhao's name was recorded as Zhao Hu (Chinese: 赵胡) in the Records of the Grand Historian by Sima Qian. The name of Zhao Mo did not arise until the discovery of two jade seals belonging to the emperor that bore the name of Zhao Mo but not Zhao Hu. "Zhao Hu" may have been an error made by Sima Qian when he was writing his Records. There is also a theory that Zhao Mo and Zhao Hu were two separate rulers, and that Zhao Mo's reign was excluded from historical records because of its brief duration.
