Danh mountain relic area

Danh mountain relic area

The story of Mount Danh (Lien Chung and Viet Lap communes, Tan Yen district, Bac Giang province) with the product of King-Southern ginseng passed down among the people for many generations inspired me to find this relic. From Bac Giang City, there are many roads to reach Mount Danh, but I chose to follow Highway 17 and then turn onto the Viet Lap-Lien Chung commune road. It's winter so both sides of the road are green with corn, sweet potatoes and many other vegetables. Going about 5km from the turn, the Danh Mountain Cultural and Historical Relic Area appeared before my eyes. Mount Danh is located not far from the romantic Thuong River, has the highest peak about 117 m above sea level and is the second largest mountain range of Tan Yen district after Dot Mountain (Phuc Son commune). This place has a beautiful natural landscape with a pine forest about 50 years old. Many people who come to Mount Danh have the same comment as being in the pine forest of Da Lat City (Lam Dong). Mr. Hoang Tien Dung in Muong Than commune, Than Yen district (Lai Chau province) said: "I have known about Mount Dang through the Internet for a long time, but now I have the opportunity to visit. Indeed, the scenery here is very beautiful, the air is fresh, and sitting and listening to the pine trees is very romantic. If I have the opportunity, I will invite relatives and friends to come here to play." The road up to Mount Den is built with brick steps with a total of 345 gentle steps. Right at the foot of the mountain is the Elephant Noi well, about 2m deep, with a surrounding bank. Local people say the well water is always clear and never dries up. Located on Danh mountain is Danh temple, a cultural and religious project of the local people. The Temple complex consists of 3 temples: Trinh Temple (at the foot of the mountain), Thuong Temple (on the top of the mountain) and Ha Temple (midway up the mountain). Den Temple worships the gods Cao Son and Quy Minh. When they were alive, they were talented generals, but later became sacred deities, becoming saints and talismans, helping people eliminate disasters and disasters, and were worshiped by people for many generations. No one knows exactly when the Temple was built, but based on documents and relics such as stone pillars, ancient incense bowls, sacrificial offerings, and altars still kept in the temple..., this project Built during the Le Dynasty in the 18th century. Through many ups and downs of history, especially during the resistance war against the French, the temple was much destroyed and no longer intact as before. However, the people here have restored and renovated many times, the temple has become more spacious and beautiful but still retains many ancient and unique features. In particular, the current Denh temple was rebuilt by the local party committee, authorities and people in 2017 on a larger scale but still lies on the foundation of the ancient temple in a gong-shaped architectural style, including The 3-compartment hall is connected to the 2-compartment harem court by a strip of waterpipe. During the resistance war against the French colonialists who invaded our country, Danh temple and Danh mountain were the advance stations for our soldiers to ambush and protect the free zone. Also here, on April 13, 1950, two guerrilla soldiers, Nguyen Ba Giai and Nguyen Dinh Khai, heroically sacrificed their lives while on guard duty to guard the front lines. Coming to the Danh Mountain Relic Area, visitors will not only be able to admire the vast and majestic landscape but also hear stories passed down in folklore about the Southern King-Samseng products of the people here. In the past, the Dinh mountain area had the famous Bao Loc Son festival throughout the region. In the early 19th century, Bao Loc Son was a canton in Yen The district, Lang Giang prefecture, including 4 communes: Bao Loc Son, Trung Son, Tuong Son and Kim Trang. The annual Bao Loc Son Festival is held on January 16 and 17, centered at the Um Ngo communal house relic complex, Viet Lap commune. This festival is the festival of four communal houses, also known as four families, typical of the families: Than, Giap Nguyen and Dong... in 4 villages: Kim Trang, Khoat, Nguyen and Um Ngo. These 4 villages have 4 communal houses, worshiping 4 Thanh Hoang. After the villages of Nguyen, Kim Trang, Khoat hold festivals, the palanquin procession goes to Um Ngo communal house to hold the festival on January 16 and 17, and from there, the palanquin procession goes to Nghe Ca on top of Dinh mountain for the opening ceremony of the year. . Four village festivals come together to form the Bao Loc Son festival. The festival includes games such as tree swinging, cockfighting, wrestling, kite flying... Wishes for good weather and wind, and prosperity for the people. Bao Loc Son festival was first restored in 1996. In 2019, Viet Lap Commune People's Committee continued to organize the restoration of Bao Loc Son festival.
