Thuan Ton Shrine (Cau Vuong)
Introduction
Thuan Ton Shrine (Cau Vuong) (address in Thuan Ton Village, Bat Trang Commune) has been a nationally ranked relic since 1996. Located within the national-level relic complex of Thuan Ton Village, Thuan Ton Shrine (also known as Cau Vuong Shrine) is a sacred spiritual work deeply imbued with the imprint of ancient agricultural beliefs. The shrine is associated with rituals praying for rain, for good harvests, and with the solemn sacrificial activities of generations of wet-rice farming communities in the delta. Although the architecture of Cau Vuong Shrine is not too massive, it possesses a secluded and solemn beauty, hidden beneath the shade of ancient trees that are cool all year round. Inside, the shrine preserves solemnly arranged altars with ritual objects and ancient tablets of profound folk artistic value. The village ceremonial committee has always carried out well the work of guarding and maintaining worship, preserving the original secluded space, and promoting the spiritual value of the relic.
