Nam Nha Pagoda or Nam Nha Duong, full name is Nam Nha Phat Duong, located at 612 Cach Mang Thang 8 Street, Bui Huu Nghia Ward, Binh Thuy District, Can Tho City. This is not only a place for religious activities of followers of Minh Su religion, but also a base for revolutionary activities of patriotic movements in Can Tho in particular and the South in general in the late 19th and early 19th centuries. twentieth century. The founder of Nam Nha Pagoda was Mr. Nguyen Giac Nguyen (1850-1919), alias Nguyen Phuong Thao, religious name Long Khe Tao Nhan, religious name Nguyen Dao Co. Around 1890, Mr. Nguyen Giac Nguyen began participating in the Dong Du movement. At first, he moved his house from Rach Sao to Binh Thuy market and set up Nam Nha Duong herbal medicine shop near Rach Mieu bridge as a communication base against the French. In 1895, Mr. Nguyen Giac Nguyen stopped working as a Chinese medicine shop and moved to Binh Thuy river to establish a small three-room pagoda also named Nam Nha Duong. In 1905, the pagoda was reconstructed on a larger scale with five rooms and two wings. Over time, the pagoda was damaged a lot. People in the religion wanted to rebuild it, but France did not allow it because the pagoda was still under surveillance. They had to lobby with the French authorities to be allowed to build. In 1917, the pagoda was rebuilt with bricks and tiles, many materials were ordered from France. Like many other temples, Nam Nha Pagoda was built near the riverbank so that visitors from all over could conveniently come and worship, because traffic in the past was mainly by waterway. Therefore, the temple gate also faces Binh Thuy canal. Many documents describe the temple gate as built of bricks and tiled. The pagoda's yard is paved with Chinese tiles, surrounded by a large garden stretching out to the banks of the Binh Thuy River. In the middle of the garden is a rockery over 2m high placed in a water tank built of bricks. In the garden, there are many pine trees, cypress trees and other ancient trees. The main hall is a solid brick house, consisting of 5 rooms, roofed with yin and yang tiles, and has a picture of two dragons and pearls on it. In particular, the main hall's facade has a combination of Asian and European architecture in the early twentieth century, and is quite different from the traditional pagoda style in the South. Inside the main hall, the central area is decorated very solemnly, used as a place to place the altar of the Three Teachings Saints (there are three bronze statues of Shakyamuni Buddha, Most Holy Confucius and Lao Tzu). Dao To). Behind the main hall is a long hallway with two reception rooms. To the right and left of the pagoda are two rows of tile-roofed houses called Can Dao Duong (Dong Lang row) for men and Khon Dao Duong (Tay Lang row) for women, connected to the kitchen. Currently, Nam Nha Pagoda also has many fields and gardens, especially behind the pagoda is a green garden of fruit trees and ornamental flowers, cooling the quiet space of the pagoda. In addition to religious activities, Nam Nha Pagoda is also a base for revolutionary activities. The pagoda is "the operational headquarters of the Dong Du movement in Can Tho. Here, in February 1913, after returning from France, patriot Cuong De and Mr. Nguyen Giac Nguyen discussed national affairs to mobilize the patriotic movement in the South, but were discovered by the French colonialists. The temple should be closed. However, this place continues to remain a secret base for revolutionary activities. In 1929, when the Special Committee of the Annam Communist Party of Hau Giang was established in Binh Thuy, Nam Nha pagoda was the contact base between the Special Committee of Hau Giang and the Southern Party Committee of revolutionaries, including comrade Ngo. Gia Tu, Secretary of the Provisional Party Committee of the Southern Party Committee.
