Binh Son Tower (Then Tower, Then Pagoda Tower, Vinh Khanh Pagoda Tower) is located in Tam Son town, Song Lo district, Vinh Phuc province; is a Buddhist architecture bearing the mark of a rather long period (approximately from the 14th to 16th centuries). Binh Son Tower - Vinh Khanh Pagoda is located on a high and spacious mound, the area of ​​the protected area is 17,200m2, including: Binh Son Tower, old Tam Bao building, new Tam Bao, ink well, house Guesthouse, lotus pond, gate, auxiliary works. 1.

The entire tower is built of unglazed fired bricks. From the base of the tower to the end of the 2nd floor, it is less than 6 meters high with the most complete pattern. On these two floors, there are carefully decorated motifs with rows of chrysanthemums, lotus petals, leaves, smooth-faced flowers, embossed dragons, and the "whispering lion" motif... From the third floor up, the decoration is still the same. However, the higher you go, the narrower the width of the tower's face is, and the decorations also gradually decrease. 2. The old Tam Bao Palace: was majorly restored in 1976, in the shape of the letter Dinh, with an area of ​​131.5 m2, including 5 rooms for the front hall and 3 rooms for the harem. In particular, the building has 2 bronze pillars in front, stretching out 6m, forming like the arms of a throne. The system of worship statues here is mainly made of painted soil, dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a few statues dating to the 20th century. 3.

Lotus pond: located in the garden in front of Binh Son tower, currently growing lotus 7. Gate to the relic site: consists of 4 brick pillars, attached with 2 iron gates in the middle, two side paths are temporarily fenced with trees and bamboo as protection gates. 8. Some decorations of Binh Son Tower Lion whinnying: One of the projects that has puzzled researchers is the "lion whinnying", because it is very different from the "jewel-catching crocodiles" wearing lotus crowns on Buddhist pedestals during the Ly Dynasty. Dragon: has horns, curls in a "nest", head turns to the center of the circle, body does not curl but forms a sinusoidal shape, so does not "tie the bag", legs kick out, or cross over the body to kick out, The spine has a "saw-tooth" shape, one front leg is raised to grasp the "hair"... Some of the details just mentioned are reminiscent of the dragons of the late Tran, but other details do not allow the dragon to be attributed to the Binh Tower. Paint in a certain pattern at all. What's more important is that Binh Son dragons often put their front legs up to grab their hair, in a funny, very mischievous pose, thus quite "folk": in this case, it has taken on the style of the dragon motif. stroking the beard in the post-Le period. The card: is a relatively popular type, with motifs that contain many meanings. Binh Son's "leaves" belong to many styles, but all styles are simple and not as elaborate as the "leaves" of the Ly Dynasty. String chrysanthemum: has been around since the Ly Dynasty in the form of a round frame, the inside of the frame neatly accommodates other decorative projects. The Tran Dynasty inherited that circular layout. Three-pronged (mountain) fighting: an interesting point is that this fighting has appeared since the Ly dynasty (Thap Chuong Son, Nam Dinh) and was even more popular under the Mac dynasty (Ty Dang Communal House, Ba Vi, Hanoi). ). Binh Son Tower has many unique features in terms of architecture, art, and construction techniques. Binh Son Tower not only has artistic architectural value, but also has high aesthetic value, called "The pearl of the national treasure", on the bricks there are many types of decorative patterns, places The shape is circular, some are circular, some are deep, some are shallow, some are dark... proving that the craftsman's hands are extremely skilled. Binh Son Tower is a work with unique architecture. According to the French, this is the most beautiful tower in Tonkin. Currently, the Festival at Binh Son Tower Relic - Vinh Khanh Pagoda is organized by the locality on January 15 every year, called "Pagoda Festival", including rituals: palanquin procession, prayer ceremony. for good weather and wind, a safe and peaceful country and cultural and artistic programs, sports, folk games (Chinese chess, human chess, cockfighting...)
