The group of prisoners of war was gathered in the middle of the yard. Two female comrades Cam and Thanh explained in Tay language to them to understand the Viet Minh's policy of fighting the French and Japanese to save the country, calling on them to turn their guns on France and Japan to win independence for the nation. After hearing the policies of the Viet Minh, some prisoners of war asked to join the revolution and most asked to return home. In the first two battles, the Team used the tactic of "attacking with a disguised raid (raid), which excellently opened the tactical history of the Vietnam People's Army". Training disguise is a way of fighting that uses few guns and bullets, has low casualties but is highly effective in combat. In the first two battles, in addition to destroying and capturing all enemy soldiers in the station, the Team also captured many weapons and military equipment. Most importantly, the team won in accordance with leader Ho Chi Minh's directive "The first match must be successful". Source: Cao Bang electronic information portal

Chung" was recognized as a National Treasure in 2016. Da District Pagoda or Vien Minh Pagoda are both the same. Vien Minh is the literal name of the pagoda, and Da Quan is the name of Duke Mac Ngoc Lien - famous general of the Mac Dynasty, in Da Quan village, Xuan Tinh commune, Thanh Lam district, now Hung Dao commune, Cao Bang city. The pagoda dates back to the Ly dynasty, because in the pagoda there are two parallel sentences as follows: "Vien Minh won the reign of the Ly dynasty, Da Quan worshiped the uncle of Hau Le". Roughly translated: Vien Minh relic was built first, during the Ly dynasty. The Da Quy god bell was cast later, during the Le dynasty. These couplets, as their meaning suggests, also reflect folk legends about the history of the temple. The pagoda is a complete complex with unified architecture, starting with a three-entrance gate and ending with a bell tower. The decorative architecture here takes the idea: "the emptiness of form and emptiness of Buddhism is the root". Opposite the pagoda is Quan Trieu temple. Legend has it that Quan Trieu Temple was built during the Ly Dynasty, during the reign of King Ly Anh Tong (1138 - 1175). Over time and due to historical events, the temple was completely abandoned. When the Mac dynasty moved to Cao Bang to establish its capital, it was restored, now only the old foundation remains. According to the Complete History of Dai Viet, the historical figure of the Quan Trieu Temple Cultural and Historical Relic is Duong Tu Minh, a Tay ethnic person, from Ban Danh land, Quan Trieu commune, Phu Luong district (Thai inheritance).

As a government official, Duong Tu Minh was respected by all people for his integrity and virtue. But after that, the court was in chaos, mandarins abused their power, and Duong Tu Minh was retaliated against by traitors because of his integrity. Duong Tu Minh was exiled by King Anh Tong to the deep forest and toxic water at the foot of Duom Mountain, Phu Luong district. The heroic general of the past became "the old man of Duom Mountain", but it was that gentle and simple name along with the feats of the past that forever engraved the heroic reputation of Duong Tu Minh in history. Vien Minh Pagoda is one of the three oldest pagodas in the province, its long historical value is engraved in the pair of bells present here. In 1993, this pair of bells had sculptural artistic value. With unique values, in 2016, the pair of bells was recognized by the Prime Minister as a National Treasure. The big bell is 1.75 m high, the mouth is 1.07 m wide; The small bell is 1.55 m high and the mouth is 0.95 m wide. Both are cast from copper alloy, which over time has turned to cast iron color. The bell of Vien Minh Pagoda is one of the few legacies of the Mac Dynasty remaining in this border land.
