Huong Canh was originally the name of a commune of An Lang district, Son Tay town in the Later Le dynasty, then was taken as the general name of the Nguyen dynasty and the name of today's town - Huong Canh town (in Binh Xuyen district, Vinh Phuc province). According to folklore, Huong Canh is also called Tam Canh because this is the common name of three Canh villages including: Huong Canh, Ngoc Canh, Tien Canh. The place name Huong Canh also has the ancient name Ke Canh. This name comes from the local rice variety, which has two pointed rays on both sides of the grain. People call those two sharp rays WINGS and the grain of rice is called WINGS, taking the word WING as the name of the village. Initially, there was only one Huong Canh village here. Gradually, the population grew and the village was separated and named Ngoc Canh - a place with Gie Canh rice, rice grains as beautiful as pearls. Finally, when both villages Huong Canh (fragrant Canh rice) and Ngoc Canh (beautiful Canh rice) were densely populated, they expanded to the West and Northwest with another village and took the name Tien Canh, meaning "rice".

They marched through Huong Canh, camped at a mound in the middle of the field, the people called Go Ngu. To record the sacred mark and pay tribute to the heroes of the Ngo Dynasty, the people of Huong Canh built a temple in Go Ngu to worship them, according to the concept of "life is a general, death is a god" (living is a good general - death is sacred). During the Later Le Dynasty, the people of the three villages of Huong Canh, Ngoc Canh and Tien Canh built a communal house in each village, took the sacred names to worship at the communal house and held festivals and offerings every year like today. 1.
