Dong Lan Pagoda Festival

Hung Dao, Hoa An, Cao Bang

Dong Lan Pagoda Festival On the 8th day of the first lunar month, the Dong Lan Pagoda Festival takes place. Dong Lan Pagoda has a long history, built during the Le - Mac dynasties. Before the pagoda was built, at Dong Lan mound there was a temple worshiping two brothers Tran Quy and Tran Kien, who are said to have special talents that killed demons and harmed people. During the Le Dynasty, Tran Kien was appointed Cai Cong Dai Vuong, a low-class minister; Tran Quy is Dong Lan Dai Vuong, a middle class god. Remembering the merits of the two young men, the people built a spring-autumn temple to worship. During the Ly Dynasty (late 11th century), Dong Lan Pagoda was built to worship Buddha. From the year of Tan Hoi, the 19th year of Can Thong, the Mac dynasty, the queen of the Mac dynasty built a pagoda in the shape of a nail, with two corridors and a back hall, a monk's room to serve as a place to chant Buddhist scriptures. Inside the pagoda there is also an incense bowl worshiping Thach Sanh. This is a character in the fairy tale of the Tay people. Thach Sanh killed the python, protecting the peaceful life of the people. In 1997, the pagoda was recognized as a provincial cultural and historical relic. After being restored and embellished many times, Dong Lan Pagoda now has an ancestral temple with 5 compartments: 3 main compartments are the ancestral shrine and 2 auxiliary compartments; There is an abbot, someone who takes care of the temple. At the end of 2014, the pagoda was invested in building an additional Guan Yin palace to worship Guan Yin, made of ironwood carved with four sacred animals, with a total area of ​​more than 100 m2 from socialized capital. In 2015, the pagoda invested nearly 10 billion VND to repair the pagoda's roof, surrounding walls, pave the floor, and put in the statue of Guan Yin...  Every year, on the night of the 7th day of the first lunar month, the opening ceremony is held. On the 8th day of the first lunar month, the temple opens the main festival. Many people in the region and tourists from all over come to attend the festival.
