The story of Mount Danh (Lien Chung and Viet Lap communes, Tan Yen district, Bac Giang province) with the product of King-Southern ginseng passed down among the people for many generations inspired me to find this relic. From Bac Giang City, there are many roads to reach Mount Danh, but I chose to follow Highway 17 and then turn onto the Viet Lap-Lien Chung commune road. It's winter so both sides of the road are green with corn, sweet potatoes and many other vegetables. Going about 5km from the turn, the Danh Mountain Cultural and Historical Relic Area appeared before my eyes. Mount Danh is located not far from the romantic Thuong River, has the highest peak about 117 m above sea level and is the second largest mountain range of Tan Yen district after Dot Mountain (Phuc Son commune). This place has a beautiful natural landscape with a pine forest about 50 years old. Many people who come to Mount Danh have the same comment as being in the pine forest of Da Lat City (Lam Dong). Mr. Hoang Tien Dung in Muong Than commune, Than Yen district (Lai Chau province) said: "I have known about Mount Dang through the Internet for a long time, but now I have the opportunity to visit. Indeed, the scenery here is very beautiful, the air is fresh, and sitting and listening to the pine trees is very romantic. If I have the opportunity, I will invite relatives and friends to come here to play." The road up to Mount Den is built with brick steps with a total of 345 gentle steps. Right at the foot of the mountain is the Elephant Noi well, about 2m deep, with a surrounding bank. Local people say the well water is always clear and never dries up. Located on Danh mountain is Danh temple, a cultural and religious project of the local people. The Temple complex consists of 3 temples: Trinh Temple (at the foot of the mountain), Thuong Temple (on the top of the mountain) and Ha Temple (midway up the mountain). Den Temple worships the gods Cao Son and Quy Minh. When they were alive, they were talented generals, but later became sacred deities, becoming saints and talismans, helping people eliminate disasters and disasters, and were worshiped by people for many generations. No one knows exactly when the Temple was built, but based on documents and relics such as stone pillars, ancient incense bowls, sacrificial offerings, and altars still kept in the temple..., this project Built during the Le Dynasty in the 18th century. Through many ups and downs of history, especially during the resistance war against the French, the temple was much destroyed and no longer intact as before. However, the people here have restored and renovated many times, the temple has become more spacious and beautiful but still retains many ancient and unique features. In particular, the current Denh temple was rebuilt by the local party committee, authorities and people in 2017 on a larger scale but still lies on the foundation of the ancient temple in a gong-shaped architectural style, including The 3-compartment hall is connected to the 2-compartment harem court by a strip of waterpipe. During the resistance war against the French colonialists who invaded our country, Danh temple and Danh mountain were the advance stations for our soldiers to ambush and protect the free zone. Also here, on April 13, 1950, two guerrilla soldiers, Nguyen Ba Giai and Nguyen Dinh Khai, heroically sacrificed their lives while on guard duty to guard the front lines. Coming to the Danh Mountain Relic Area, visitors will not only be able to admire the vast and majestic landscape but also hear stories passed down in folklore about the Southern King-Samseng products of the people here. In the past, the Dinh mountain area had the famous Bao Loc Son festival throughout the region. In the early 19th century, Bao Loc Son was a canton in Yen The district, Lang Giang prefecture, including 4 communes: Bao Loc Son, Trung Son, Tuong Son and Kim Trang. The annual Bao Loc Son Festival is held on January 16 and 17, centered at the Um Ngo communal house relic complex, Viet Lap commune. This festival is the festival of four communal houses, also known as four families, typical of the families: Than, Giap Nguyen and Dong... in 4 villages: Kim Trang, Khoat, Nguyen and Um Ngo. These 4 villages have 4 communal houses, worshiping 4 Thanh Hoang.

The dragon has a head with a flaming crest, a nose and a mane that are very vividly structured with natural lines. The crest takes the entire upper lip and blends with the fangs in the shape of a flying cloud. The mane radiates from the nape of the neck towards the back. The dragon's beard is as soft as a wave moving forward. The dragon's nose is stacked curves creating the impression of a water source, the mouth is bared to reveal two rows of teeth holding pearls. The dragon's whiskers and crest point forward, creating an image resembling a Bodhi leaf. In a soft, natural posture like flying, the dragon has 11 segments, the segments are evenly spaced and winding, the dragon has 4 legs and 3 small claws.

Before 1945, this place belonged to Nha Nam canton, Yen The district, now belongs to Nha Nam town, Tan Yen district. Tu Giap Pagoda was built during the Le Dynasty in the style of grand domestic and foreign architecture, including 7 front halls, 5 middle halls, 3 triple treasures, 1 ancestral house, guest house, and nun's house. The system of statues in the pagoda is rich and complete, decorated purely in Vietnamese. The pagoda also has a bell weighing several hundred pounds. However, in 1885, to take revenge on the Yen The insurgents, the French colonialists frantically destroyed villages and pagodas to use wood to build their base. In 1886, the people of the four borders, including Nguon, Upper, Lower, and Bell, rebuilt the pagoda with the name Tu Giap because the four people joined hands to rebuild the pagoda. The new pagoda includes a front hall, a common house, a Buddha hall, an ancestral house, a monks' and nuns' house, a three-entrance gate with a bell tower, and spacious and orderly walls. In 1947, Tu Giap Pagoda was once again destroyed by the French colonialists when they swept through Nha Nam and attacked Yen The. At Tu Giap Pagoda, there was a clash between us and the enemy. The pagoda was severely damaged, leaving only the 7-compartment front hall, with bullet marks still on the pillars. Along with the flow of history, Tu Giap Pagoda and Nguon village of Nha Nam commune have experienced and "witnessed" many important historical events. This place converges essential traffic routes, can move towards the plains of Bac Giang, Bac Ninh and retreat to the mountainous areas of Thai Nguyen and Bac Kan. Therefore, Tu Giap Pagoda was chosen as one of the locations as an important revolutionary base of the Bac Giang Party Committee during the resistance war against the French colonialists. This is also the stationing and working place of the National Salvation Newspaper (March 1945), Bac Giang Postal Company (late 1945), Provincial Post Office and Ha Bac Police Company (now Bac Giang Provincial Police). In particular, Tu Giap Pagoda was the living and working place of the Area 12 Police from the end of 1946 to around April 1948. During the resistance war against the French, although it was attacked many times by the French colonialists, Tu Giap Pagoda was still a safe place for district, provincial and central agencies to choose as a place to open refresher courses, train and discuss plans. implementing the resolution to divide fields for people to increase production... During the resistance war against the US to save the country, Tu Giap Pagoda witnessed many farewell ceremonies for children who were going to join the army to fight on the southern front to contribute to the war. liberating the South and unifying the country. Through the ups and downs of history, Tu Giap Pagoda today is no longer the same, but only the front hall, middle pagoda building, and Tam Bao pagoda are made in the old style. In the pagoda, there are many Buddha statues made of lacquered wood and gilded with gold. Tu Giap Pagoda is not only a place for spiritual beliefs of the people in the area but also a place marked by revolutionary history. In particular, it is where the 6 things Uncle Ho taught the People's Public Security force were discovered. Here, comrade Hoang Mai - Director of Zone VII Police was honored to receive the letter from President Ho Chi Minh dated March 11, 1948, in which he especially kindly advised our police, Mr. peace of the people, serving for the people, knowing how to rely on the people to do everything will be done.

Xa Temple is located on the south bank of Cau River, near Xa junction, which is the confluence of two ancient rivers Ca Lo and Cau River (also known as Nhu Nguyet River) flowing into Luc Dau River (Hai Duong province). Xa Temple, Xa Doai village, Tam Giang commune (Yen Phong district, Bac Ninh) worships two generals Truong Hong and Truong Hat. The two were siblings and talented generals of Trieu Quang Phuc in the resistance war against the invaders of the Luong Dynasty. Nearly a thousand years ago, in the 11th century, Lieutenant Ly Thuong Kiet built the Nhu Nguyet river defense line here during the second resistance war against the Song Dynasty, leading to a famous victory over the Song invaders in October 1077. Talking about the history of the temple, Mr. Vu Cong Tuong (82 years old, from Xa Doai village, head of Xa Temple) said: Xa Temple worships Saint Tam Giang - the brothers Truong Hong and Truong Hat, who are famous generals of the temple. Trieu Quang Phuc was credited with fighting the Liang invaders in the 6th century. The sacred temple also dates from the 6th century, after their death. The legend of Saint Tam Giang says that, in the past, in Van Mau village (Kinh Bac region) there was a girl named Phung Tu Nhan. At the age of 18, Tu Nhan dreamed that the Dragon god descended from the sky and entwined herself on the Luc Dau River. After that, she was 14 months pregnant and gave birth to a bundle of 5 children: 4 boys and 1 girl. Because she was a child given by heaven, she took the Jade Emperor's surname Truong and gave it to her four sons, Truong Hong, Truong Hat, Truong Lung, Truong Lay, and her daughter, Truong Dam Nuong. Some time later, Heaven sent La Tien Ong to earth to teach literature and martial arts to Tu Nhan's five children at Trang Hoc beach near Co Trach's house. The five brothers, all skilled in literature and martial arts, grew up responding to Trieu Viet Vuong's call to become generals to fight the Luong invaders in Da Trach lagoon and win a great victory. Truong Hong and Truong Hat were appointed talented generals of Trieu Quang Phuc. When Trieu Quang Phuc ascended the throne (other names are Trieu Viet Vuong, Da Trach Vuong), Ly Phat Tu led his army to fight back but could not win, so he used the trick of marrying his son, causing Trieu Viet Vuong to fall for the trick and be defeated. When Ly Phat Tu won the throne, knowing that Truong Hong and Truong Hat were talented generals, he invited them to become mandarins. But with your loyalty, you decided not to worship two kings. Knowing that he could not be subdued, Ly Phat Tu ordered them to be arrested everywhere. They knew they couldn't escape so they committed suicide in the Cau River to maintain their loyalty to the king. Also according to legend, the Jade Emperor felt compassion and ordained Truong Hong and Truong Hat as River Gods. Since then, the people of 372 villages along the Cau River, Thuong River, Ca Lo River and the places where the two men were stationed to fight the enemy all mourned and built temples to worship them as Gods. The Ngo, Dinh, Le, and Ly dynasties were later blessed by Yin to keep their territories in peace, so they all honored the Truong cousins as Saint Tam Giang - great kings and superior gods. According to history books, Xa Temple and Saint Tam Giang are also associated with the birth of the poem "Nam Quoc Son Ha" by Ly Thuong Kiet - our country's first declaration of independence. Talking about the legend of the story of the poem Than, Mr. Vu Cong Tuong said: According to the elders of Xa Doai village, one night in October 1077, at the sacred temple on the Cau River battlefield against the Tong and Ly Thuong invaders. Kiet went to the temple to pray for yin and yang to support the resistance war against foreign invaders. After the ceremony, the sky suddenly lit up like daytime, two clouds appeared in the air, one white, one red. Above were two brave soldiers, one riding a white horse, the other riding a pink horse, riding the clouds among the four armies cheering their horses. hi. Legend has it that he was Mr. Truong Hong and Truong Hat who appeared to bless our army and people in fighting the Song invaders. Tu Vu Cong Tuong was moved and respectfully said: "You are "born as a form, death as a spirit"; That means living as a general, transforming into a god, and still carrying out the noble mission of serving the country." At the same time, in the air or in Ly Thuong Kiet's mind, the poem "Nam Quoc Son Ha" suddenly echoed: Nam Quoc Son Ha Nam Emperor's residence/ Absolutely destined to be in the book of heaven/ Like a rebellious river invading/ Nhu "The king of the South lives in the rivers and mountains of the country. The fate is clear in the book of heaven. Why do the invaders invade? They will be beaten to a pulp." This is the reason why the poem is called Divine poetry. When the poem was read by Ly Thuong Kiet, it resounded loudly in the area, causing the Song invaders to panic and run away, trampling each other to death. Together with the strategic ingenuity of our army and people, the resistance war against the Song Dynasty was completely victorious, destroying 300,000 Song troops, corpses piled up into mountains, blood flowed into rivers. After nearly 1,000 years since that divine victory, currently in Tam Giang commune there are still places such as Bai Xac, Bo Xac, and Dong Xa which are traces of the disastrous defeat of the enemy in the past. Every year, Xa Temple has two major festivals on the 5th of the first lunar month and the 9th and 10th of the fourth month of the lunar calendar. The Xa Temple Festival is the largest in the region. In addition to the solemn rituals of palanquin procession and water procession, there is also the custom of swimming competitions. Legend has it that the swimming custom of Xa Temple is associated with Ly Thuong Kiet mobilizing local militia to participate in fighting the Tong invaders on Nhu Nguyet River. Xa Temple today is located on a mound of land nearly 10 hectares wide, less than a kilometer from Xa junction - the confluence of two ancient rivers. The temple is currently being restored but its architecture still retains its ancient features that have existed for thousands of years. In front of the yard there is still an ancient stone stele engraved with the divine poem "Nam Quoc Son Ha" on both sides in Chinese and national language, outside is a four-pillar gate with a time-tinged relief. In addition to the system of precious antiques still kept as worship statues, in the harem of Xa temple there is also a Tao Quan altar with statues of "two men and one woman". In early spring, tourists and people who come to the Xa Temple ceremony to pray for the country of Thai Dan An do not forget to light incense at the Tao Quan altar with the wish to pray for the family to always be warm, hoping for happiness and peace for their family and for everyone. home. With a history of nearly 1,500 years, in 1988, Xa Temple was ranked by the Ministry of Culture as a National Historical Site. Source: Electronic newspaper of the Central Vietnam Farmers' Union
