Emperor Minh Mạng had the Nine Urns cast to symbolize the eternal existence of the dynasty, the wealth and unity of Vietnam's territory, and the exquisite bronze casting skills of Vietnamese artisans.

The Nine Urns are a unique and valuable source of information for Vietnamese and foreign researchers, as they hold historical, cultural, educational, geographical, feng shui, medical, and calligraphic significance.
