Temple to worship female general Le Chan

According to historical records, Female General Le Chan was born on February 8, 20 early AD. She was born in the coastal region of Quang Ninh; established a hamlet and trained soldiers in the coastal city of Hai Phong, but committed suicide in the mountainous region of Lat Son (now Hong Son village, Kim Bang, Ha Nam). Bearing a grudge against the family, owing money to the country, and listening to Queen Trung's message to save the country, Le Chan brought insurgent troops to follow Hai Ba Trung and set up an uprising flag to expel the Han invaders. Giat Dau Mountain is the highest mountain in the Lat Son region, where on July 13, 43, when unable to defeat the Han enemy, the female general committed suicide and threw herself from the top of the mountain into the valley. People in the area commemorated her by setting up an altar at the foot of the mountain and building a pagoda and temple to worship her. This place still has traces in the Lat Son forest. Le Chan Temple is currently located on Le Chan Street, Hong Son village, the main hall faces south. In front of the temple gate in the past was the Ngan River - a tributary of the Day River, behind the temple was Ong Tuong Hill. The overall architecture of the temple area includes: Main temple, shadow, Son Trang cave, guest house and auxiliary works forming a closed complex with an area of ​​over 4,000m2. On the yard, in front of the temple door, the statue of a female general stands majestically, drawing her sword and facing the old base. The statue was built before the temple was rebuilt (in 2006) and was modeled after the statue of a female general in Thuy An temple (Quang Ninh), her birthplace. The biggest festival taking place at the temple is on the 13th day of the 7th lunar month every year (the day of female transformation). People will organize a festival to commemorate the merits of the female general, and at the same time pray for people to go to the forest and farm smoothly... From July 11, the villagers began preparing to hold the announcement ceremony at the temple, asking for permission to open the festival. During festivals, the temple welcomes many groups of visitors from inside and outside the province to the temple to worship. The main festival day is July 13. Early in the morning, villagers and tourists gathered at the temple to carry out the palanquin procession into the village communal house. Source: Ha Nam Electronic Newspaper
