Dang Quan Cong Temple (Tu Vu Temple)
Introduction
Dang Quan Cong Temple, Phuc Lam Ha Hamlet, former Phuc Lam Commune (now Phuc Son Commune), is an artistic architectural relic of the temple type, with an area of 527.4 m2. According to the accounts of elderly villagers and the stele erected at the relic, Tu Vu Temple was built by the ancients in 1721, when the general of the Dang family was still alive, on a relatively large scale. However, through historical changes and wartime destruction, the temple no longer exists, leaving only the old foundations. At present, the main structures of the temple include: Nghi Mon (ceremonial gate), Dai Bai (main worship hall), Hau Cung (rear sanctuary), a screen, and the courtyard and garden system. Based on the stele placed at the temple, two royal edicts, and the Dang The Gia Pha Ky (Dang family genealogy), Tu Vu Temple worships the general of the Dang family named Danh Lan, commonly called Dang Lan by the people. During his lifetime, he was wiser than others and exceptionally intelligent. Through successive dynasties, he was admired by all for his talent and virtue, was promoted to many titles, and held many important positions such as: Tham doc, Uoc Quan Cong, De doc, Do doc, Co Ta Nhue, Co Ta Duc, Ta Do doc, Quan co ta duc, Thieu Pho, Thai bao, Thai pho, Chuong phu su, Thai te, Dai tu khong, Nghia Toan Vuong, Dai tu Ma. In the Tan Hoi year - 1731, he died at Dich Vong, was later buried in Phuc Lam Commune (now Dong Mit Hamlet, Dong Tam Commune), and was posthumously conferred the title Dai Tu Do and bestowed the name Man Dat.
Two royal edicts are still preserved: one from the first year of Chieu Thong, and one from the fourth year of Canh Hung. With many historical and cultural values, Tu Vu Temple was recognized as a historical and cultural relic by the People's Committee of Ha Tay Province in Decision No. 1979/QD-UBND, dated November 14, 2006.
