Trương Đỗ Family Temple

Worshipped Figure: The temple is where the ancestors of the Trương Đỗ clan are worshipped. The clan's founding ancestor is Mr. Trương Huyền Thông (a native of Hà Tĩnh), who passed the Hương Cống examination in the Later Lê period and held the position of Tri phủ of Ứng Thiên Prefecture. Because he married a local woman of the Đỗ family, later descendants combined the two surnames into Trương Đỗ to commemorate the merit that 'the father who gives birth is not equal to the mother who nurtures.'

Historical value:

• During the pre-uprising period, the temple area was one of the sites in the secret Safe Zone (ATK) system of the Bắc Kỳ Regional Party Committee. This place once sheltered and concealed many veteran revolutionary cadres such as Hoàng Quốc Việt, Hoàng Văn Thụ, and Đỗ Mười.

• The family of Mrs. Nguyễn Thị Thự (the eldest daughter-in-law of the 12th generation) was awarded a certificate 'Có công với nước' (Meritorious Service to the Country) by the State for its contributions to protecting cadres.

• The clan has many accomplished people who made great contributions to the country, notably Mr. Trương Đỗ Uông (Nguyễn Văn Lộc), former Member of the Bắc Kỳ Regional Party Committee and former Minister of Agriculture, who was posthumously awarded the Ho Chi Minh Order and the Gold Star Order.
