Bao Loc Temple

Bao Loc Temple

Bao Loc Temple, My Phuc commune (My Loc) was built on the "wooden ladder" land of An Sinh Vuong Tran Lieu, father of Hung Dao Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan and brother of Tran Thai Tong - the first king of Tran dynasty. During the Tran Dynasty, with the appearance of the Emperor's regime, in 1262, Tuc Mac village was changed to Thien Truong palace and was built on a scale like the second capital after Thang Long. Besides building palaces and magnificent houses for the emperors, the Tran Dynasty also conferred a series of fiefdoms on nobles, surrounding them like a protective belt of Thien Truong. At that time, An Lac hamlet was 2km north of Thien Truong center (as the crow flies). Legend has it that An Lac hamlet is the place where Tran Quoc Tuan was born and raised. With his great contributions in three resistance wars against foreign invaders, in April 1288 he was given the title "National Duke of Hung Dao Great King". When he died, the court re-titled him: "Grand Master, Supreme Patriarch Thuong Quoc Cong Nhan Vu, Hung Dao Great King". Bao Loc Temple was originally built along the Chau River, consisting of three ironwood rooms with tiled roofs. After the river bank eroded, the temple was moved to its current position. Existing on a small scale for a long time, in the early 20th century, Bao Loc temple was raised by people to upgrade it into a solid structure, quite large in size and height. The temple was built according to the design of Dong Phuong Bac Co, but was repaired to suit the traditional architecture of the nation. Construction began in 1928, it took 5 years for the project to be completed. The temple is located in the middle, facing east, on the left is the temple worshiping Buddha, on the right is the palace worshiping the Mother Goddess, behind the temple is Khai Thanh worshiping the king's father, mother, and wife. The entire relic is designed to be symmetrical and harmonious, with airy space creating a feeling of serenity during the holy ceremony. Bao Loc Temple is located in the middle, built in the style of a zigzag letter, including a front hall with 7 wide compartments, a long middle hall with 5 compartments, and a harem with 3 compartments. The architecture of the temple is simple, the columns are made of bricks, many beams are filled with durable and imposing reinforced cement. Although there are not many carvings, scattered in each part there are still themes: four sacred animals, water-rolling dragons, flowers and leaves, pine trees, chrysanthemums, bamboo, apricot trees... In particular, six sets of doors in the harem with plaques. Exquisite carvings bearing the artistic style of the Nguyen Dynasty. In the temple, in addition to the tablets, there are also two statues worshiping Tran Hung Dao (one made of bronze, one made of wood). The bronze statue in a sitting position weighs 4.8 tons, placed in the middle of the street. On both sides there are statues of Hung Vu Vuong Nhien and Pham Ngu Lao, his son and son-in-law. The agarwood statue is placed in the harem, on both sides are statues of literature teachers and martial arts teachers. Khai Thanh Temple is located in the back, the architecture is similar to the main temple but the foundation is 3 meters higher, worshiping Tran Hung Dao's father, mother, wife and two daughters. The worship arrangement here shows the spirit of respect for the teacher, integrity and filial piety of the Great King Hung Dao. Among the relics worshiping Tran Hung Dao, Bao Loc temple has special significance because this land is associated with his childhood. That's why people have the saying "Sinh Kiep Bac, Tran Thuong waterfall, Bao Loc's hometown". Every year, on his death day (August 20 of the lunar calendar), many visitors from all over have the opportunity to attend the traditional Tran Hung Dao festival.
