Chuong Pagoda

Chuong Pagoda

Chuong Pagoda has the literal name "Kim Chung Tu" located in Nhan Duc village, Hien Nam ward, Hung Yen town. Legend has it that in a year of great flood, a golden bell floated on a raft to the river bank in Nhan Duc village. Different places raced to ring the bell in their locality but could not. Only the elders of Nhan Duc village can ring the bell. The villagers thought that God was helping them, so they contributed to building the pagoda and building a bell tower. Every time the bell rings, the sound echoes thousands of miles away. Therefore, the pagoda is also called Kim Chung Tu (golden bell pagoda). Chuong Pagoda was built in the Le Dynasty (15th century) and underwent many restorations and embellishments later, but still retains the artistic architectural features of the Later Le Dynasty (17th century). In "Hung Yen province Nhat Thong Chi" by Trinh Nhu Tau, it is written "Chuong Pagoda - famous Hien street". In 1992, Chuong Pagoda was ranked as a national historical, cultural, architectural and artistic relic. The architectural complex of Chuong Pagoda has a harmonious layout, in the style of "Foreign Noi Cong", including items: Three gates, Front hall, Upper palace, To house, Mother house, bell tower and 2 corridors. .. The front of the pagoda faces South, which is the direction of "Prajna" and "Wisdom". The buildings of Chuong Pagoda are located symmetrically on the axis connecting Tam Quan to the Patriarch's house. The Tam Quan gate is built in the style of a two-story, eight-roofed stack of matches, with decorative motifs and patterns such as an embossed dragon image, a bas-relief of Tang Monk and his disciples going to get sutras at Tay Truc... Through the Tam Quan gate, you will reach the green stone bridge built in 1702, spanning the dragon eye pond. Next is the unique path paved with green stones leading straight to the Front Street, which according to Buddhist concept is the true path leading people out of the ocean of suffering. The front hall has a scale of 5 rooms and 2 wings, the architecture is in the style of husband and wife fighting lotus. Next is a small yard, in the middle of the yard there is a stone incense tree also known as "Thach pillar", on four sides there are Chinese characters engraved to record the merit of the people contributing to the repair of Chuong Pagoda. The Upper Palace also consists of 5 compartments and 2 wings, with the same structure as Tien Duong. Inside are decorated with many elaborately crafted statues such as: statues of Tam The, Bodhisattvas, Manjushri, Pho Hien, Jade Emperor, Nam Tao, Bac Dau, Shakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha... Through the Upper Palace, there are two symmetrical corridors with many statues arranged in order. The first is a group of statues sketching the "Ten Palaces of Hell" cave depicting the scenes of torture that people must experience in the underworld according to the Buddhist philosophy of cause and effect. Next is the Vajra Buddha statue, followed by the "Ten Eight Arhats" with 18 statues created with very expressive expressions on each face. At the end of the corridor is the statue of Monsignor, standing next to Gia Lan - Chan Te and the statue of Thanh Hien, standing next to Diem Nhien - Dai Sy. In Chuong Pagoda, there are still many valuable artifacts such as horizontal panels, parallel sentences... especially the stone stele "Kim Chung Tu Stone Biography" built in the 7th year of Vinh Thinh (1711). The stele lists names of meritorious people and describes Pho Hien in its heyday. On January 15, April 8, April 15, and July 15 of the lunar calendar every year, the Bell Pagoda Festival is held, attracting people in the region and tourists from all over.
