Cuong Temple

Cuong Temple

Cuong Temple is located on Mo Da mountain, Dien Trung commune, Dien Chau district, Nghe An and is a temple worshiping Thuc Phan An Duong Vuong. From the documents of Cuong temple, the temple is also known as Cong temple, because in the past there were many peacocks living here. In particular, this mountain has the shape of a giant peacock, the peacock's head is where the temple is located. Cuong Temple is associated with a king in the nation's history of fighting foreign invaders. The temple is also associated with the legend of the magic crossbow and the love affair between My Chau and Trong Thuy. After the 18th King Hung ceded the throne, Thuc Phan united the strength of the entire army, defeated the Qin army and ascended the throne, taking the title An Duong Vuong. When he ascended the throne, King An Duong changed the name of Van Lang to Au Lac, moved the capital from Phong Chau to Co Loa, and ruled the country for 50 years (from 257 to 208 BC). Legend has it that when the god Kim Quy helped him build the citadel and make the magic crossbow, An Duong Vuong was caught off guard and fell for Trieu Da's trick. In 208 BC, after capturing the magic crossbow, Trieu Da sent his army to suddenly attack Au Lac country, forcing An Duong Vuong to retreat to the South. When he arrived here, on the same road (in front was the mountain, in the east was the sea, behind was the enemy), An Duong Vuong drew his sword to slash My Chau and then committed suicide at Cua Hien, north of the foot of Mo Da mountain. To commemorate An Duong Vuong, after the king's death, the people of this area built a temple to worship the king here. The temple has existed for a long time. Up to now, there are no documents that have determined the exact time the temple was built. However, during the Nguyen dynasty, Cuong temple was restored many times, especially in the year of the Rat (1864), King Tu Duc issued a decree to rebuild the temple on the scale it is today. Cuong Temple is a beautiful, solid architectural work, suitable for natural conditions, surrounded by many green trees. The temple has Tam-style architecture, including three gates, three upper, middle and lower buildings. Cuong Temple Festival is held on the 14th, 15th and 16th of the second lunar month every year. Cuong Temple Festival is a famous large-scale festival in Nghe An, attracting the attention of many locals and tourists from all over the country. On January 16, 2023, the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism decided to officially register the Dong Cuong Temple Traditional Festival on the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
