Over the past 250 years, people in the Tay Son Thuong region have still passed down many thrilling stories related to Mieu Xa, the snake god. Legend has it that after a period of preparing strong soldiers and generals in Tay Son Thuong, in the year of the Snake (1773), the three Tay Son brothers (Nguyen Nhac, Nguyen Hue, Nguyen Lu) marched down to the plain. The army reached the beginning of Mang Pass (An Khe Pass), when a very large snake jumped from a tree to block the road. Among the generals, there were people who thought this was a bad omen and suggested withdrawing troops. Nguyen Nhac determined not to retreat but to move forward, draw his sword, cut off the snake's head, and use his blood to sacrifice to the flag. Down in the plain, the insurgents surrounded and defeated Quy Nhon citadel. After this victory, Nguyen Nhac had his soldiers build a temple to worship the snake god at the top of Mang pass. Contrary to the snake-slaying anecdote, folklore also holds that in 1773, Nguyen Hue commanded an army from the Upper Path to the Lower Path. At the beginning of An Khe pass, I saw a pair of ebony snakes lying in the middle of the road. Seeing that, Nguyen Hue immediately got off his horse and clasped his hands in prayer. As soon as his prayer ended, two snakes raised their heads and slithered forward. After walking a while, a snake crawled into the bushes along the road. When it came back, it held a dragon sword in its mouth and gave it to Nguyen Hue. Whenever going into battle, King Quang Trung-Nguyen Hue often used dragon swords to fight the enemy, winning many famous victories such as Rach Gam-Xoai Mut, Ngoc Hoi-Dong Da. To commemorate the snake god's gratitude, the king ordered people to build a temple at the top of Mang pass. In the past, the Snake Temple was built of bamboo leaves, surrounded by old forests. In 1957, people held a ceremony to ask the snake god for permission to move the temple to its current location to facilitate care and incense. “During the years of resistance against the French colonialists and American imperialists, many times, Mieu Xa was burned down by the enemy. But later, people immediately rebuilt it to have a place to worship the snake god. On February 20 and August 20 of the lunar calendar, people in the area and the Temple Management Board organize offerings to Quy Spring and Quy Thu according to traditional rituals; Every month, worship on the full moon and the first day of the year to pray for favorable weather, good crops, prosperous people's lives, and the local socio-economic development.

BLACK ROCK MILL

Go Da Den is a training and discharge location for Tay Son insurgents, formerly located in Kien My village, Kien Thanh hamlet, Quy Nhon district, now located in block 1 of Phu Phong town, Tay Son district, Binh Dinh province. On November 16, 1988, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism issued a decision to recognize Go Da Den as a historical-cultural relic. Kien My is not only a place where Tay Son leaders were attached from childhood to adulthood but also one of the early bases of the Tay Son movement. In 1771, after a period of preparing forces, Nguyen Nhac, along with Nguyen Hue and Nguyen Lu, raised an uprising flag in Tay Son Thuong Dao. In 1773, from the Upper Dao insurgents marched down to liberate the lower Tay Son region and stationed their headquarters in Kien Thanh hamlet, the center of which was Kien My hamlet. This was a wise decision, especially in the early days when the uprising was launched and the force was not yet strong. On the one hand, because this is the homeland of the insurgent leaders, but on the other hand, also very important, is the favorable location of Kien My. Located at the foot of An Khe Pass on the left bank of the Kon River, Kien My is a convenient waterway transportation hub. From Kien My, you can take the road through An Khe, follow the waterway up the river to the Thuong people area, or down to the delta, to the coast. After a short period of consolidating their forces, the insurgent army moved down from Kien Thanh hamlet to capture Quy Nhon citadel, creating a turning point in the entire development process of the uprising. Kien My village - Kien Thanh hamlet, as the headquarters and starting point of the insurgent army moving to liberate the delta, has a very important position. On Kien My land, there are still many historical relics associated with the Tay Son leaders as well as the entire Tay Son movement. In addition to the ancient tamarind tree and ancient well, Truong Trau Wharf also has Palace Garden, Tap Binh Palace, Cam Co Palace, Da Den Hill, and Cut Cu Hill, which are places that reflect the headquarters and barracks of the insurgent army. Go Da Den is a high and wide land. This is originally a wild forest with an estimated area of ​​about 5 hectares stretching from Phu Lac to Bau Dao. In the middle of the mound emerges a very large black rock, that's why people call this mound Black Stone Mound. Time, war, and the revenge of the Nguyen Dynasty, partly because the insurgents stopped here not long ago, so now there are traces associated with the activities of the insurgents, in addition to the places preserved in folk memory. , there is almost nothing left. The area of ​​Da Den mound was reduced to only 2 hectares, because people dug up the soil to make bricks and used stones to build houses. The large black rock has also been chipped into pieces.

Ben Truong Trau

Truong Trau Wharf is a large betel trading wharf on the banks of the ancient Con River, in Trau hamlet, Kien My village, about 200m from Tay Son Tam Kiet temple. Betel and areca nuts are a famous product of both the upper and lower Tay Son regions, especially the type of betel grown by the Upper People in the Central Highlands. Truong Trau Wharf became a place of transit and trade relations between the mountains and the plains, in addition to betel and areca nuts, there were also many other essential goods. When Mr. Ho Phi Phuc's family still resided in his wife's hometown - Phu Lac village, in addition to farming, they also participated in trade with the lowlands and uplands, thus becoming rich. His children also continued their father's career, maintaining and expanding trade and exchange. Ben Truong Trau, with its trading exchanges, had a great influence on the uprising career of the three Tay Son brothers, especially Nguyen Nhac. Nguyen Nhac often traveled back and forth to the upper Tay Son region, had close relationships with ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands, and traded with markets, wharves, and towns in the delta. This helped him expand his vision and understand the suffering of people from all walks of life, thereby easily mobilizing and uniting forces to participate in the uprising. After preparations at the upper Tay Son, the Tay Son insurgents under the command of Nguyen Nhac launched a large-scale operation to liberate the lower Tay Son, liberated the Quy Nhon government, and laid a solid foundation. for the movement's next victories. Among that achievement, Ben Truong Trau was an important focal point, where information and correspondence of the insurgent army was connected in the early days of preparing for the uprising, until it reached its peak. Legend has it that next to the old Truong Trau Wharf, Nguyen Nhac built a house to store betel and serve as an inn for betel traders. Therefore, the people of Kien My, as well as many surrounding areas, know Nguyen Nhac as Mr. Hai Trau. After the Tay Son dynasty passed away, Kien My people built on the old house's foundation a temple to worship the three Tay Son brothers, called Vinh Tho temple (also called Cay Gon temple because there is a big tree here). Later, the French colonialists used it as a food warehouse and then destroyed it. In 1963, three Southern mendicants and local people built a small thatched pagoda (on the old temple foundation). In 1967, it was newly built with bricks called Ngoc Binh Vihara. Truong Trau Wharf has now been filled in, only a sandy beach along the river, no longer crowded with boats and the hustle and bustle of preparing for a great career, but "The old tamarind tree, the old Ben Trau..." has go down in history, forever echoing a glorious time.

Ancient Go Sanh ceramic kiln

Go Sanh or Sanh hamlet is the name of a small hamlet in Phu Quang village, Nhon Hoa ward, An Nhon town. Phu Quang people say that while digging land for construction or farming, they often come across areas thick with intact pieces of ceramics of many types such as bowls, plates, and cups. Around the 70s, Go Sanh ceramics followed antique dealers to many regions and attracted the attention of ancient ceramic researchers in Vietnam and the world. In March 1974, an archaeological team from Saigon came to Phu Quang to research. Although there have been no excavations at Go Sanh, they have hypothesized that the owners of Go Sanh pottery are Cham people. From the above information, the Hanoi Institute of Archeology and Binh Dinh General Museum have planned a long-term research program at Go Sanh and all ancient ceramic relics in Binh Dinh. Until 2000, there were 4 excavations continuously conducted at this relic site. Up to now, Binh Dinh pottery kilns have 5 groups. In An Nhon town, there are Go Sanh, Go Cay Ke, and Go Hoi. All of these relics are located along the banks of the Kon River flowing into Thi Nai Bay (Quy Nhon port today) - a convenient location for waterway transportation. Archaeological excavations at Go Sanh were carried out in 1991, 1992, 1993. In 1994, besides Vietnamese scientists, there was additional cooperation from Japanese scholars. Among the kiln sites that have been identified in 5 locations within the former Vijaya region, kilns No. 1, No. 2 and 3 are in Go Sanh. Furnace number 1: Named Cay Quang furnace. The kiln is still quite intact, from the kiln wall, kiln floor and the final fired product of this kiln. The furnace has a tubular shape with a total length of 14m. The furnace chamber is rectangular, gradually expanding towards the end, measuring 1.6m; The width at the front is 2.8m; at the rear and an additional 10m in length. On one side of the oven wall there is a door for loading and unloading products. Furnace number 2: It is called Cay Man furnace (Roi Tree). The kiln area is located in the south of Go Sanh. Technically similar to furnace No. 1 (Cay Quang furnace), the furnace wall is also built of compacted soil bags and the arrangement of fire sharing columns in the burner is similar. Furnace No. 3: Located under furnace No. 2. According to researchers, this is the furnace with the earliest construction date. The wall of furnace No. 3 is not made of burnt shell material but is completely made of earth. The furnace is 1.2m wide near the burner, 1.7m wide at the back. The length of the furnace body is 5.3m. Currently, the Binh Dinh Provincial General Museum collects and preserves a quite rich collection of Go Sanh ceramic products. Porcelain products mainly produced here include enameled bowls, plates, pots, unglazed tiles and architectural decorations. Celadon enameled dishes and brown enameled jars show similar characteristics to the products of Fujian kilns (China). Recent information shows that Go Sanh Binh Dinh ceramics are produced not only for local service but also to participate in the export market to countries in Southeast Asia and further afield, Egypt. Among the artifacts found on the shipwreck in the Calatagan archipelago off Pantanan Island in the Philippines are thousands of Go Sanh ceramics. Some Vietnamese experts believe that the beginning of Binh Dinh ceramic production may have started from the late 13th to the 14th century, or at the latest until the 16th century. The owners of Go Sanh pottery kilns and other ancient pottery kilns in Binh Dinh are none other than the ancient Champa people. Go Sanh pottery kiln archaeological relic site has been ranked by the State as a National Historical-Cultural Relic. Source: Website of An Nhon Town People's Committee
