Trinh Tiet Temple

Trinh Tiet Temple was built in the north of the village, facing east toward the Day River. The temple has a layout in the shape of the character 'cong' with three parts: Tien Te, Trung Tu and Hau Cung. The space here is solemn and quiet. According to the divine genealogy compiled in the sixth year of Vinh Huu (1740) by Nguyen Hien, Hung Linh Thieu Khanh, the official in charge of supervising the hundred deities, and nine royal edicts currently kept in Trinh Tiet Village, Trinh Tiet Temple worships the village tutelary god Nguyen Duc Bao (Bao Cong), a talented general of Viet Vuong Trieu Quang Phuc who fought against the invading Liang army in the early 6th century. With the moral principle of 'remembering the source when drinking water,' for generations the people of Trinh Tiet Village have spared no effort or expense in building and restoring the relic. Together with the village communal house, this temple is also a heritage that helps foster our ancestors' tradition of patriotism and resistance against foreign invasion, and is also historical documentation of the country of 'Van Xuan' in the early Ly Nam De period.
