Huong Nghiem Pagoda Festival

Tuyen Quang City

Huong Nghiem Pagoda Festival (Hang Pagoda) Hang Pagoda Festival (also known as Huong Nghiem Pagoda) in An Khang commune (Tuyen Quang city) is held on January 8 every year. This is an ancient pagoda built in the 16th century, built in 1537 under Mac Dang Doanh's reign in a rocky cave. The pagoda also preserves an ancient stele carved on the cliff, two bronze Bodhisattva statues, an oration stand, an incense burner, and a bronze tray of the Nguyen Dynasty. The pagoda is located in Huong Nghiem mountain, Phuc Loc village, in the relic complex with Bau Dynasty Citadel and Binh Ca wharf. This is a place with charming natural landscapes, a land rich in culture with the name Truong Thi - the place where exams of feudal dynasties were held. From the beginning of Phuc Loc village to the end of Tan Thanh village of An Khang commune, there is a mountain range shaped like a winding dragon, Huong Nghiem mountain is compared to a dragon's head. This is also the place where the first two aircraft of the Vietnam Air Force were hidden and assembled before moving to Soi Correct airport, Vinh Quang commune (Chiem Hoa). Hang Pagoda has been recognized as a provincial historical relic. Over time, Huong Nghiem Pagoda no longer retains historical evidence of the resistance wars but only retains valuable artifacts such as a system of worship statues, incense burners... In front of the door of Huong Nghiem Pagoda, there is an ancient stele carved on the cliff dated February 27, the 8th Dai Chinh year of the reign of Thai Tong Mac Dang Doanh (1537). Has a height of 1.25m and a width of 1m. The stele consists of two parts: the forehead and the body of the stele. On the stele's forehead there is a carved image of a two-dragon flanking a moon, and around the stele are carved with simple lines. Under the stele's forehead are four great characters: "Huong Nghiem tu bi" composed by Dr. Ngo Hoang, including an autograph and an essay recording the names of people who have done meritorious deeds in 13 districts in the country and the people of Thuc Thuy commune. Based on the content recorded on the stele, Huong Nghiem Pagoda was previously built on a quite large scale and was also called Pham Vuong palace. "Huong Nghiem Tu Bi" is one of the rare 16th century written documents discovered in Tuyen Quang. Therefore, the pagoda has been recognized as a provincial monument. From the 6th to the 8th day of the first lunar month every year, when the agricultural season is leisurely, the villagers hold sacrificial festivals and folk games, attracting thousands of people from all over to participate in the water procession and peace praying ceremony according to traditional rituals. Water is taken from the Lo River and brought to the pagoda for offerings during festivals and ceremonies throughout the year. In addition, on the 1st and 15th days of every month, villagers flock to the pagoda to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying to Buddha to give the people a peaceful life, a good harvest, a prosperous people, and a prosperous country. Hang Pagoda has long become a place to convey the spiritual beliefs and beliefs of people inside and outside the locality. At the main ceremony, there is a ceremony to pray for peace, pray for the country and people, and a water procession ceremony. The festival includes folk games, sports, folk songs, folk dances....
