Don Mountain - Van Trung commune

Don Mountain - Van Trung commune

Don Mountain in Van Coc village, Van Trung commune, Viet Yen district is one of many peaks in the massive Nham Bien range located between two major rivers of Bac Giang, Cau river and Thuong river. Until now, no one clearly understands the origin of the name Nui Don, but many opinions believe that perhaps in the past there was a fortress and citadel, so it had names such as: Nui Ai, Nui Don, Nui Dinh, Nui Don. Mac, Xe Mountain, Tien Mountain... are in this Van Coc mountain area. Mount Don is located at the western tip of the Nham Bien mountain range. Here, we can cover a large area from Xuong Giang to ancient Thi Cau, along the North-South axis and cover the entire southern region of Viet Yen Delta. From Nui Don, you can cover Truc Tay (Khau Truc) and control Trung Dong village. From here, you can see directly to Qua Cam Mountain (ie Thuong Dong) and Tam Floor and Bo Da mountains on the banks of Cau River. According to inscription documents in Trung Dong (Van Trung commune, Viet Yen district), Trung Dong village formerly belonged to Tram Khe canton, Yen Phong district (present-day Bac Ninh). Thus, in the Ly dynasty (11th century), Don Mountain was located opposite the end of the Nhu Nguyet line in the Ly dynasty's resistance war against the Song dynasty. Therefore, Mount Don has a quite important position, mainly on the advance path of the Song army. Local legends and histories say: In the area of ​​Mount Don - Truc Tay - Trung Dong, in the past, high mountains and lowlands, rivers and streams were interspersed vastly. From here, there is a waterway connecting to Cau River and Song Khe (Yen Dung). There is also a mountain road connecting from Xuong Giang down to Thi Cau. Therefore, the Song army, following traces from the Tang Dynasty, came to this area and fought fiercely with the Ly Dynasty army in the water fields of Truc Tay Mountain (Khau Truc) and Dau Ho Mountain. History books record that in 1076, the Dai Viet army led by princes Hoang Chan and Chieu Van brought warships to fight the Song army at Khau Truc and died in battle. This is the area of ​​Nui Don, Khuc Khuc and Trung Dong. With great historical values, Mount Don was ranked a National Historical Monument by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on January 21, 1989. Source: Cultural Heritage of Bac Giang Province
