TRUNG COC TEMPLE IN YEN HUNG DISTRICT |
|
 |
|
| |
The Trung Coc Temple is seated on a high earthen mound in the middle of the Dong Coc Hamlet of Nam Hoa Commune. The temple is dedicated to national heroes Tran Hung Dao and Pham Ngu Lao.
Long ago, it was built using bamboo and thatch as materials, but in 1807 it was rebuilt as it is seen today.
It was built according to the Chinese character "dinh" (J) which consists of a three-compartment in the Front Ceremonial Hall, a two-compartment in the Back Sanctuary. The temple has two statues of Tran Hung Dao and Pham Ngu Lao, and still preserves royal decrees conferring honourable titles on the heroes. The ritual festivities take place yearly on the eighth day of the third lunar month.
Legends has it, that in order to build the stake-yard at the mouth of the Kenh River, the two general, Tran Hung Dao and Pham Ngu Lao, took a boat, but were stopped by an earthen mound in the hamlet of Dong Coc. They had to mobilize people, military men and fisherman to come and drive their boat off the mound. To remember the event, after the victory on the Bach Dang River, the people built this temple on the site where the boat was caught.
