Mạc Cửu's achievements are historical rather than competitive. He is celebrated as the founder of the Principality of Hà Tiên, a role that required immense political acumen and military leadership. Bestowed the title of Marquess Cửu Ngọc by the Nguyễn Lords, he successfully integrated a new territory into the Vietnamese realm while maintaining a degree of semi-autonomy. His legacy is preserved in the Hà Tiên trấn Hiệp trấn Mạc thị gia phả, and his tomb remains a revered site for pilgrims and historians alike.
