Giap Ba Temple

Giap Ba Temple

Giap Ba Temple, also known as Cam Nang Temple, is located in Nam Giang town, Nam Dinh city. The project includes the main temple worshiping King Trieu Viet and two temples worshiping two generals of the Doan family. Since the Later Le Dynasty, this place was called Cam Nang village, Chau Nguyen commune, now Ba village, Nam Giang town, people still call it Giap Ba. The origin of the name Cam Nang temple or Giap Ba temple today is like that. Giap Ba Temple was ranked as a national historical-cultural relic in 1994. According to historical sources and legends, in Phat Noi commune, Chu Dien district, Tam Doi district, Son Tay religion, there was Mr. Trieu Tuc whose wife was Han Thi Sieu. One night, Mrs. Sieu dreamed of a flying dragon, and then she became pregnant. In the spring of the year Mau Thin, she gave birth to a handsome boy named Quang Phuc. As a child, Quang Phuc studied very hard and was proficient in literature and martial arts. At the age of seventeen, his parents passed away. He followed famous general Ly Bon to defeat the invaders of the Luong Dynasty and win independence for the country. In 544, Ly Bon ascended the throne, proclaimed himself Ly Nam De, and settled the capital in Long Bien. Not long after, the Luong Dynasty sent Tran Ba ​​Tien and Duong San to invade our country; Ly Nam De lost the battle and fled to Khuat Lieu cave, handing over military power to Trieu Quang Phuc. In 547, Trieu Quang Phuc retreated to Da Trach swamp (now Khoai Chau region, Hung Yen), a large swamp area with luxuriant reeds; He ordered his army to set up a barracks on a mound in the middle of the lagoon, and used dugout boats to snipe every day, causing the Luong army to lose a lot of troops and become extremely confused. Gradually, our army won a great victory and wiped out the Liang army from the territory. After defeating the enemy in 548, Trieu Quang Phuc ascended the throne, calling himself Trieu Viet Vuong, with the capital in Long Bien. In 570, he was ambushed by Ly Phat Tu - who had the same surname as Ly Nam De - and had to retreat, then drowned at Dai Nha estuary on August 14. Legend has it that when fleeing, Trieu Viet Vuong stopped at Cam Nang village to set up a barracks but was still pursued and had to flee to Dai Nha seaport (now in Doc Bo village, Yen Nhan commune, Y Yen district). Currently, in Ba village, Nam Giang town, there are still vestiges of the time when Trieu Viet Vuong stopped, such as: An Ma Chien land - where the soldiers let their horses eat grass and drink water; The place where horses run is called Ma Khoi, in the southeast of the village there is Ma Run street, the old military barracks is Cua Cua area... After Trieu Viet Vuong passed away, to commemorate his great contributions, the people of Cam village Nang built a temple right on the land where he stopped. His temple is on a large scale, with many solemn and splendid sacrificial offerings. Through many feudal dynasties, Ba village temples were all ordained to serve. Right next to the temple of King Trieu Viet Vuong, there are two temples worshiping mandarins Doan Tuong Cong and Doan Cong Thuong. These are two people who lived in the 18th century, belonging to the Doan family in Cam Nang. During their lifetime, the two of them took on many important responsibilities at the Royal Court. Among them, Doan Cong Thuong, also known as Doan Cong Thuong, was promoted to the position of General Eunuch, in charge of the admiral of the Cong District under the reign of King Le Du Tong (1740-1786). To their homeland, the two men left behind many contributions. Therefore, the mausoleum as well as the temple of the two men are preserved, incense, and revered by the village people as the village's blessings. Source: Nam Truc District People's Committee
