"The Ben Ngoc Daughter" is the name of a female general of the Trung Sisters, who made great contributions to helping the Trung Sisters repel the Han Dynasty invaders, and is today honored as a national historical celebrity. In Bac Giang city, there is a street named after Ba. She is Princess Thanh Thien. Ngoc Lam Temple is a relic located next to Ben Ngoc (literally called Ngoc Chu) - a place to worship and commemorate Princess Thanh Thien. Ben Ngoc is also known as Ngoc Lam, located in Ngoc Lam village, Tan My commune, Yen Dung district. Princess Thanh Thien was the daughter of a family of Lac generals during the time of King Thuc - Because she did not cooperate with the Han dynasty, she hid at the temple. As a child, Thanh Thien was famous for his intelligence and talent. Growing up in the country's misery and humiliation under the domination of the Han Dynasty, this girl has since then nurtured a great ambition to take revenge for the country and society. Then she gathered her forces, stored food, trained soldiers and horses, and set up a base to wait for the opportunity to rebel. To strengthen her forces, she allied with patriots throughout Hai Duong (her hometown). Once when visiting her uncle in Ky Hop (Lang Giang), she stopped at Ngoc Lam site and was welcomed and wholeheartedly supported by the people. She discussed with him a plan to expel the enemy and set up camps in Ky Hop and Ngoc Lam. The base was established, and many clashes with the Han invaders occurred, the enemy forces were defeated many times. Once Ky Hop base was surrounded, Ngoc Lam base was blockaded. At that time, Hai Ba Trung's insurgent army stood up, heroes from everywhere came and Thanh Thien also followed that banner of insurgency. Under the banner of "Repaying the country's debt, avenging the family" of the Hai Ba, Princess Thanh Thien courageously stood side by side with the insurgents to expel the Han invaders and regain independence for the country. Crazy with defeat, the Han Dynasty sent the experienced male general, Ma Vien, to send troops to our country to suppress the uprising. Due to their defeat, Hai Ba Trung threw herself into the Hat Giang river and committed suicide to keep her virginity. As for Princess Thanh Thien, she fought until her last breath, following the Hai Ba to martyrdom at Ben Ngoc, refusing to fall into the hands of the Han invaders. Admiring Ms. Thanh Thien's example of filial piety, after her death, people built a temple to worship right next to Ben Ngoc - where she committed suicide. In the past, the monument was large and majestic, but now it is no longer intact. Currently, the ruins still have the Upper Temple and the Lower Temple. Thuong Temple is located on a high promontory adjacent to Chin Khuc River, opposite Bai Han area. The temple consists of two buildings: 3-compartment altar, simple architecture, inside there is an altar. The 3-room harem is located at the back. The altar has a altar, a throne, tablets and many other worship items. This is the sanctuary where the altar of Princess Thanh Thien is worshiped. The temple yard is tiled with square tiles, and in front there is an open-air altar. The landscape of Thuong Temple has an ancient sycamore tree reflecting on the Ben Ngoc river, creating a beautiful scene. Ha Temple is more ancient, built during the Le dynasty, and destroyed during the resistance war against the French. Now, the people have rebuilt the temple spaciously, including 5 high and wide front worship rooms and 3 back palace rooms. The landscape of Ha Temple is also very beautiful. In front there is a vast lake, located on the banks of the winding Chin Khuc River, creating harmony between the interior and exterior landscape. Ngoc Lam Temple was recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Information as Decision No. 138/QD dated December 31, 1992 as a Historical Relic and granted a monument ranking certificate at the same time. Since being ranked, Ngoc Lam temple relics have received more attention from local people to protect and restore./.
