Since ancient times, Mother Goddess worship has become a typical beauty in Vietnamese culture. Many historians believe that this custom comes from the land of Hien Luong (Ha Hoa district, Phu Tho province), where the Au Co Ancestor Temple is located. Under the lush foliage of the ancient banyan tree, countless generations of Lac Hong's descendants have offered incense to pay their respects to Mother Au Co and told each other the legend of the nation's great mother. Legend has it that, the day Au Co was born in Lang Xuong cave (now in Thanh Thuy district, Phu Tho province), there was auspicious clouds protecting her, and a fragrant fragrance spread throughout the space. Growing up, she was beautiful, smarter than most people, read carefully, was good at playing the flute, and was proficient in phonics. After marrying Lac Long Quan - son of Kinh Duong Vuong, Au Co gave birth to a sac of eggs, which hatched into one hundred children. One day, seeing that his children had grown up, Lac Long Quan said to Au Co's mother: "I am a Dragon, you are a Fairy. Although yin and yang come together to form a hundred children, it is difficult to unite because of the different lineages." copper". Having finished speaking, Lac Long Quan led 50 children into the sea. Au Co's mother took her 50 children to the mountains, wherever they went, they conquered people's hearts and cleared the wild forests. One day, passing through Hien Luong, where there were high mountains, wide fields, and long rivers, Mother immediately cleared the land and taught people to cultivate rice, grow mulberries, raise silkworms, and weave cloth. When the farm was beautiful, Mother hurried to a new land. Later, Au Co's mother returned to Hien Luong, remaining attached to this place for the rest of her life. On the 25th day of the twelfth month of the year Nham Than, Au Co's mother flew to heaven, leaving a silk bib under the banyan tree. There, the people built a temple to worship and forever commemorate the National Mother. Au Co Ancestor Temple was officially built during the reign of King Le Thanh Tong (1442 - 1497). The legend of the temple records that the temple is hidden under an ancient banyan tree, facing south, on the left is Loan well, on the right is Phuong well, in front is Giac mountain as beautiful as a script, behind is Giac mountain. The Red River meanders like a sacred dragon surrounding it. Over more than five centuries, the Mother Temple has seriously degraded. In 1998, the Party Committee and people of Hien Luong restored the temple. The temple is not large or massive, but it is highly appreciated for its art. Visitors can find here many relics such as the statue of Au Co, the statue of Monsignor Cao Son, or delicate carvings on the hammock doors, crossbeams, and friezes around the upper palace door. Currently, the main temple has a Dinh-style layout with three harem rooms and five grand worship rooms.
