Phu Dung ancient word

Phu Dung Pagoda also has another name, Phu Cu Pagoda, located at the foot of Binh San Mountain, Binh San Ward, Ha Tien City, Kien Giang. As one of the ancient landscapes of the peaceful and poetic land of Ha Tien, Phu Dung Pagoda not only adorns the borderland with the quiet majesty of a temple but also captivates visitors by its discovery. tells the beautiful love story of the Governor and "Miss Ai in the upside-down pot". Phu Dung Pagoda is associated with the story of the person lying in the ancient tomb, Ms. Phu Dung, who later people also gave another name, Ms. Di Tu, the first nun to live at the pagoda. Actually, the above anecdote is told by folk based on the historical novel Ai Co in an upside-down pot by Mrs. Mong Tuyet. The story is summarized as follows: Cong Mac Linh, General of the Army, Grand Admiral Mac Thien Tich, has a second wife named Aunt Tu, who is "beautiful and fragrant and has good writing". Mac Linh Cong, because of his love for beauty and poetic talent, turned from favor to natural love. As a result, Mrs. Nguyen became jealous and plotted to harm the second wife. One day, while Cong Mac Linh was busy reviewing troops, at home, Lady Nguyen locked her concubine in a pot and covered it until she suffocated and died. Suddenly, it started to rain heavily and Cong Mac Linh just arrived. Seeing that it was raining but the big pot was not tilted up to catch the water, he ordered the pot to be opened and discovered that Aunt Tu was barely alive, but luckily she was still able to save her. Although she escaped death, Aunt Tu became bored with the situation and asked Duke Mac Linh for permission to become a monk. Faced with that unruly situation, the General had no other choice but to comply and build a temple for his "Ai Co" to practice. Next to the temple, he dug a pond and planted white lotus flowers to commemorate his old love. When she passed away, Cong Mac Linh built a solid tomb, structured in the shape of a pot, to pay tribute to the beautiful woman who had to endure injustice and hardship because of him... That tomb later became Phu Dung Tu. Although there are different opinions, there is even an opinion that the love story of Mac Doge and Ai Co Phu Cu is just a fiction of writers, but most Ha Tien people know it by heart and believe that it is a beautiful, true love story, associated with the work of opening up Ha Tien land. The historical love story soaked in literature and tears between Governor Mac and Ai Co Phu Cu has since then been the inspiration for many works of stories, operas and poems. In 1959, Kien Giang writer and poet Ha Huy Ha wrote the opera "Wedding dress in front of the temple gate" based on the work "Miss Ai Co in an upside-down pot" by female artist Mong Tuyet. The opera attracted countless hearts of audiences at that time. In front of the pagoda yard is a high platform with a statue of Avalokiteshvara about 4 meters high made of cement and painted white. Next is the solemnly decorated main hall: in the middle is the statue of Sakyamuni, on both sides are the two great disciples Anan and Ca Lett. There are also 4 large reliefs (each 1.3 m high, 2.3 m wide) illustrating 4 scenes of Buddha's birth, renunciation, sermon and nirvana. Behind the main hall, through a small yard, visitors will see a two-story high attic called "Ngoc Hoang Buu Dien", which worships the Jade Emperor and the two kings Nam Tao and Bac Dau. To the left of Phu Dung Pagoda, there is a small path along the mountainside. Walk about 20 meters and you will see an ancient tomb leaning against a cliff in the middle of a forest of towering, cool, secluded trees. On the tombstone there are many lines of Chinese characters. Next to the grave, there is a stone stele engraved with Vietnamese writing: Mausoleum of Mrs. Phu Dung - Tu Thanh Thuc Nhon - Nguyen Thi Xuan (1720-1761) - passed away on the full moon day of the second lunar month - Phu Cu brand.
