Dinh Le Temple

Dinh Le Temple

Dinh Le Temple is also known as Linh Cam Dai Vuong Temple, formerly belonging to Viet Yen Ha commune, Viet Yen district, now Tung Anh commune, Duc Tho district, Ha Tinh, worshiping the founding god of the Later Le dynasty, Linh Cam Dai Vuong. Dinh Le. Dinh Le is from Lam Son, Tho Xuan, Thanh Hoa, and is Le Loi's nephew. From 1418 to 1427, Dinh Le participated in many important battles of the Lam Son Insurgent Army, achieved many victories, and contributed significantly to the final victory against the invading Ming invaders. Winning the battle, Dinh Le was awarded the title of Private Commander by Le Loi. In April 1425, the Ming army followed the Ngan Pho river to attack the Do Gia base of the Lam Son insurgent army, but was counterattacked and had to flee through Tung Linh mountain to enter the La river and return to Nghe An citadel; Dinh Le's army intercepted and attacked here, killing more than 1,000 people. In March 1427, Dinh Le and Nguyen Xi were ordered to bring 500 Thiet troops to reinforce General Le Nguyen in Tay Phu Liet, expelling the Ming army to Mi Dong. Two generals riding elephants fell into the swamp and were captured by the Ming army. Dinh Le refused to submit and was killed. In 1428, after ascending the throne, Le Thai To posthumously awarded Dinh Le the title of Entering Internal Control with the title of Tu Do, the title Dinh Thuong Marquis, and the title Linh Cam Dai Vuong. In 1484, Le Thanh Tong family appointed him Grand Master of Ban Quoc Cong, and later promoted him to Hien Khanh Vuong. Remembering his contributions in this land, the people built a temple to worship Dinh Le at the place where he was previously stationed on Tung Linh mountain, on the banks of Tam Soa. Previously, Dinh Le temple was located about 400m from the current location. After this place was taken by the French as a military post, the temple was moved to a new location. The temple is currently located on a low, relatively flat hill. The Northwest and Southwest sides border the residential area, the Southeast side borders strategic road 28. The relic still has the upper palace, gazebo, gate and temple yard surrounded by a system of walls and entrance gates. The wall is built of bricks and mortar, in the middle there is a hole shaped like a lemon flower, the four corners are built with pillars, and lotus buds are placed on top. Tac Mon is like a screen blocking the entrance, the outside surface creates a yellow tiger relief, standing majestically with head and tail raised high. Go through the gate to the gazebo, built in 1937 in a double-match style with two floors, eight roofs, and four-sided doors. The date of the gazebo's restoration reads "Bao Dai Dinh Suu (1937). The upper palace is a four-pillar house with three compartments, two gables, four jackfruit wooden rafters in the four-pillar-stack-dau style (also known as the Ruong house). At the top are engraved four Chinese characters "Long live the Holy Palace". The middle hallway has a kneeling-style wooden incense burner carved with flowers and vines on both sides, and a dragon flanking the moon and face in front. The door is constructed in the "upper but lower" style, consisting of many doors joined together with wooden pegs on top. The remaining three sides are surrounded by brick walls. The middle space worships the tutelary god Dinh Le with a sacred throne, a royal tablet engraved with the title Linh Cam Dai Vuong, a wooden sword placed in lacquered wood inlaid with gilded wood, and a system of incense burners and gilded wooden offerings. On January 17, 2006, Dinh Le Temple was classified as a National Monument. Source: Duc Tho District Electronic Information Portal
