Bac Cung Temple
Bac Cung Temple (literally known as Thinh Temple) in Tam Hong commune, Yen Lac district is one of four large temples around the Ba Vi mountain region and the Red River Delta worshiping Saint Tan Vien. The temples: Tay Cung, Nam Cung, and Dong Cung are on the other side of the Red River in Son Tay territory. These are four temples that were built and preserved relatively carefully by the people. The temple is located in the middle of fertile fields on a 10,000 square meter plot of land next to winding canals, surrounded by rich and densely populated villages. On both sides, the left desert and the right desert stand majestically and silently, covering a large brick yard, looking up to a unique architectural work. Thinh Temple was built 20 centuries ago on the foundation of a small temple worshiping Saint Tan, where he had previously let his troops stay during a mission to help people clear land and manage water. The divine genealogy passes down that: Saint Tan (still called Son Tinh), whose name is Nguyen Tuan, was born on January 15, Dinh Hoi year in Lang Xuong cave, Trung Nghia commune, Thanh Thuy district, Phu Tho province. He lost his father at a young age and lived with his mother and two cousins, Nhuy Hien and Nguyen Sung. Every day, the three brothers crossed the Da River and went to the Ba Vi mountains to clear fields and farm, looking for a living. Here, Nguyen Tuan met Princess Thuong Ngan, was adopted by her, and gave her a walking stick and many magic spells to save humanity. After defeating Thuy Tinh and marrying Princess Ngoc Hoa, he refused the throne that King Hung wanted to give him, and with his two younger siblings traveled everywhere, helping people clear land and water, and was respected by people everywhere. When passing through the Tam Hong area, he let the troops rest and taught the people to grow rice and fish... After he left, the villagers came to the place where the Holy One rested and saw that there were still some packets of hearing left there, so after This temple is called Thinh temple. There is also a story that: when letting the army stay here, Saint Tan taught the people to butcher Thinh, so the people called the temple that name. From a small temple, during the reign of King Ly Than Tong (1072-1128), the temple was rebuilt into a large temple. This is where the king came to pray for longevity. During the reign of King Minh Mang (1820-1840), the temple was repaired many times. During the reign of King Thanh Thai, the Tri of Yen Lac district appointed monk Thanh At to restore the temple. The project lasted until the 6th reign of Khai Dinh (1900-1921). Through many ups and downs, the temple continues to be preserved and preserved by local people. On January 21, 1992, the temple was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as a cultural and historical relic. Every year, the Thinh Temple festival is held from the 6th of the first lunar month to the 20th of the first lunar month.

Ha Tien Pagoda is located on Ha hill - in Gia Vien village, Dinh Trung commune, Vinh Yen city, Vinh Phuc province. In the past, Dinh Trung commune belonged to Tam Duong district - During the Hung Vuong period, it belonged to Phong Chau, during the Tran dynasty, it belonged to Tam Bai route, during the Nguyen belongs to Vinh Tuong district, Son Tay province; In 1899, Vinh Yen province was established - now Gia Vien village, Dinh Trung commune, Vinh Yen city - Vinh Phuc province. Ha Tien Pagoda was built in the year of Quy Mui (1703), the 24th year of Chinh Hoa, during the reign of King Le Hy Tong Duy Hiep. From ancient times until now, tourists and Buddhists from near and far, when coming to Ha Tien Pagoda, not only burn incense and pray to Buddha but also sincerely worship before the Holy Mother to pray for peace in the country and people and a peaceful life. According to ancient books, the pagoda is located in the "mountain and water" position, on both sides there are large mounds of earth shaped like dragons and white tigers. When the country was invaded by foreign invaders, Mrs. Lang Thi Tieu, on her way to join forces with King Hung Vuong 7, saw a strange situation, so she stopped to recruit soldiers. Later, she was honored as National Mother Tay Thien. To commemorate her, people set up an altar tablet at the pagoda, called the Holy Great King. Ha Tien Pagoda is a place to worship the Three Jewels and also worship the National Mother. Ha Tien Pagoda also has another name: "Rain Praying Pagoda". In the past, the area often suffered from drought. People who rely on agriculture fall into hunger. The abbot of the pagoda at that time, Tinh Huan, built an altar to pray for rain. Furthermore, the monk vowed to self-immolate to pray for rain for the people on the 30th day of the 5th lunar month. After making a vow before the three jewels and heaven and earth, he sat in the lotus position and then immolated himself to worship the gods and pray for the people. On June 1, after a day of self-immolation, it rained heavily and lasted for 3 consecutive days. And since then, every year on the anniversary of the founder's death, it often rains. Deeply remembering the gratitude of the true monk, the people built a three-story stupa to store his ashes. Currently in the pagoda's tomb garden there are 8 towers. Most of the stupas are still intact with 3 main floors. The towers are about 3m high, have 4 sides, built of red bricks bonded with materials from tree resin combined with clay. Although all eight towers keep the treasured bodies of monks, Tinh Huan's tower is more special because it is covered by a birth tree. The perennial tree is still green and has many roots, covering nearly all three sides of the stupa. In the pagoda there is also an ancient well (Jade well) with cool water. In the past, during the drought season, all the other wells dried up, but the old well still had water, so people in the village had to go to the old well to draw water. The well of Ha Tien Pagoda is "clear and blue, with magical water veins", so the ancients still compared it: "No matter who is as ugly as a ghost/ Drinking the water of Ha Pagoda is as beautiful as a fairy". Every year, on major holidays, visitors from all over come to the temple to worship Buddha and ask for water from Ngoc well, bring it back to burn incense and drink gradually, especially in the early days of spring. People believe that having ancient well water to use during Tet will bring good luck. With the historical and cultural values outlined above, Ha Tien Pagoda was decided by the People's Committee of Vinh Phu province (now Vinh Phuc) to rank it as a provincial-level Historical and Cultural relic in 1995.
