Ba De Temple

Ba De Temple

Hai Phong is a land associated with many famous and sacred historical relics. Among them, it is impossible not to mention Ba De Temple - a spiritual tourist destination that attracts many tourists from all over the country to visit and worship every year. Ba De Temple not only possesses a charming mountain and water landscape but also tells the story of the tragic life of the beautiful and unfortunate girl who is worshiped here, that is Mrs. Dao Thi Huong (also known as Mrs. De) - his wife. Lord Trinh Giang, Ba Temple was once visited by King Tu Duc and bestowed the title "Dong Nhac De Ba - Lady Trinh". Legend has it that in 1718 in the southeast of Ngoc Do Son region, a couple named Dao gave birth to a daughter named Dao Thi Huong. But strangely, from the moment she was born until she grew up, that girl always exuded a fragrant scent, radiated aura, and wherever she went, clouds covered her. One day, Lord Trinh Giang went on a tour of Do Son. While walking around the beautiful landscape, he was moved by her inspiring singing and the beauty of the city. He loved and was inseparably attached to her. Some time later, she became pregnant, Hang Tong found out and forced her parents to pay a fine. But because the family was poor and had no money to pay the fine, Hang Tong took her and drowned her in the sea. Before dying, she cried and mourned her parents as well as her own fate. She raised her face to the sky and cried: "As a woman and an aunt, when I see God's love, I don't dare to resist. Looking at my parents and neighbors, I don't dare to forget. May God bless my heart. When I am submerged in water, if I am wronged, God will let me float up three times." Sure enough, she appeared three times, everyone was scared. Later, people in the area still heard her wailing in the sea breeze: "When the ropes rot and the mortars melt, this hatred will be removed." After a month, the lord's flower boat came to take her back to the capital. Knowing the story, Lord Trinh was extremely sad and sorry for her. Lord Trinh Giang built a temple and established an altar to exonerate her. The temple's sanctity protects the village from pirates and bad people. Ba De Temple has a simple but elegant structure, built at the foot of Doc Mountain, facing the vast sea, creating a unique construction. The main hall of the Temple is the place to worship Ba De and her parents. To the left of the main hall is the altar of the Sea King. Next to it is the place to worship the Earth King, the Mountain King and sentient beings. On the right side of the main room is the altar of the Three Holy Mothers - three goddesses who govern heaven, earth, rivers and mountains. Opposite the altar of the Three Holy Mother Goddesses is the altar of Buddha and the Great King (Tran Quoc Tuan) - a famous general of the Tran Dynasty. Right in front of the Temple yard is an image of a boat with a Bodhisattva statue on it, surrounded by dragon images, adding to the solemnity of this place. Every afternoon, when the sun has disappeared behind Doc Mountain, visitors can stand under the temple's bell tower and look at the rolling sea. Admiring the moment of sunset will feel strangely peaceful. From the temple yard, turning to the right, visitors will come to a beautiful and long rocky beach. On the right side of the road leading to the rocky beach is a cliff with rows of green trees. Source haiphongnew.gov.vn
