The temple is located on the alluvial strip of the Cam River system, flowing through the ancient land of Thuy Nguyen, where land exploration and the creation of villages of people engaged in wet rice agriculture and fishing very early on.

When you calm down and remember your hometown, there is a medicine made from herbs that are ground yellow, ground, then boiled and drunk. The good medicine was passed down by the great physician Tue Tinh. Everyone told each other to follow the instructions. Indeed, the epidemic was repelled and the population was at peace. That year, in the Dong Sim area, the villagers built a small temple to worship the famous doctor, and named the village An Lu, meaning peaceful village, and the common name was Xua. Rebuild the Xua market, build a 7-span bridge made of ironwood for people to travel across the stream flowing to the Cam River to remind the image of the old homeland.
