Hoa Thanh Pagoda (Jackfruit Tree Pagoda)

Hoa Thanh Pagoda or Hoa Thanh Co Tu, commonly known as Cay Mit Pagoda, is located in Nhon Hung commune, Tinh Bien district, An Giang province. Hoa Thanh Pagoda was built by the people of Nhon Hung village in 1847, initially very simple with mixed trees, leaf walls, and thatched roof. In 1913, the pagoda burned down, people contributed to rebuilding the pagoda with wood, plank walls, and yin-yang tiled roof. In 1925, monk Huynh Hong Diep rebuilt the spacious pagoda as it is today. The total construction area of ​​the pagoda is about 500m2, the architecture includes 4 sets of roofs, round wooden columns, and walls built of lime mortar mixed with egg stone. Hoa Thanh Pagoda was built according to a unified architectural layout. There are two main roofs in the front and back, and two side roofs, built on a 0.5 m high foundation, the roofs spread low with the tips at the four corners curving up. In front of the pagoda is Lien Tri pond built in 2009. On the pond there is a path leading to a very beautiful statue of Guan Yin Buddha riding a dragon. On the left is the Maitreya Buddha temple, on the right side of the temple are two stupas. In the main hall, the pagoda also preserves many ancient statues with unique artistic value. In front of Hoa Thanh Pagoda, there is a memorial stele with the image of the Vietnamese national emblem. In the middle of the national emblem is a board recording the date and year when Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac came to the pagoda. The outstanding art of the pagoda is the worship statues, most of which are made of jackfruit wood, skillfully carved by local artisans into 19 types of statues, ranging from 0.4m to 1.4m high. According to some elders in the village, this place is full of dense forest, overgrown with trees, and has a lot of jackfruit wood. Seeing this, the monks used jackfruit wood to build pagodas and carve statues for worship. In 1913, while the pagoda was on fire, people near the pagoda and monks were able to carry the statues out of the pagoda. Therefore, the pagoda has kept the precious wooden statues to this day. As for the Jade Emperor statue, it was burned and there are still traces left behind. The Buddha statues are shown with quite accurate shaping techniques according to each model, their appearance is dignified, and their clothes are neat. From the details of the hand holding the treasure, the head wearing the crown, the figure standing on the platform or sitting on the animal, the throne or the lotus... all are sketched very standardly, with sharp lines, with very bright gilded vermilion colors. brilliant. In addition to its architectural and artistic value, Hoa Thanh Pagoda is also where Deputy Chairman Nguyen Sinh Sac (father of President Ho Chi Minh) once lived. After resigning, to avoid being tracked by secret police and the French colonial government, Mr. Sac went through many provinces in the South, including An Giang. From 1921 to 1923, he often went to Cay Mit Pagoda (the popular name of Hoa Thanh Pagoda at that time), at that time the pagoda was headed by monk Huynh Hong Diep, who was also a patriotic scholar. Hoa Thanh was used as a meeting and communication place between Mr. Pho Bang and scholars everywhere. And also from Hoa Thanh Pagoda, the spirit of patriotism and non-cooperation with the French colonialists and their lackey government had a great influence on the people in the region. During the resistance wars against the Americans to save the country and protect the southwestern border of the Fatherland, Hoa Thanh Pagoda was a solid base for the revolution and the soldiers. The temple grounds have secret vaults to hide officials and organizing activities. Therefore, the people of Bay Nui area consider Cay Mit Pagoda - Hoa Thanh as a cultural work and a relic marking many glorious historical events in fighting, protecting and building the homeland. On August 4, 1992, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism recognized Hoa Thanh Co Tu as a national historical architectural and artistic relic. Source: An Giang Tourism
