Ky Cung Temple is considered a sacred place, originally a place to worship Giao Long (river god) with the task of keeping good weather and wind all year round. But later, Ky Cung temple worshiped Mr. Tuan Tranh. Legend has it that Mr. Tuan Tranh was a mandarin during the Tran Dynasty, sent to Lang Son to fight the enemy and protect the border. The history of the Temple is also associated with the story of the great mandarin Tuan Tranh, who was sent by the Tran court to defend Lang Son. During his stay in Lang Son, he commanded the enemy but lost, and many soldiers died. He was falsely accused of adultery, so he jumped into the Ky Cung river and committed suicide to prove his innocence. Due to his pure heart, he was divinely transformed into a pair of snakes (Mr. Coc - Mr. Dai) to become river gods residing at Ky Cung temple. Later, his injustice was proven and resolved by a Le Dynasty general, Ta Admiral Han, Than Cong Tai district (worshiped at Ta Phu temple). That's why there is a custom that on the festival day of Ky Cung temple (also from the 22nd to 27th day of the first lunar month like Ta Phu temple), there must be a procession of grand man Tuan Tranh's palanquin to Ta Phu temple to give thanks and worship. Than Cong Tai story. This explains the close connection of the two temple festivals Ky Cung - Ta Phu. In the temple, there is Ky Cung stone wharf, one of the eight beautiful scenes of Lang Son recorded in the ancient "Eight Scenes Town Camp" by Ngo Thi Sy called Ky Cung Thach Do. The reason for this is because according to historical records, in the past, any march or journey of envoys back and forth to China had to pass through this place. Boats and boats are close together, both river banks are always crowded with people or military officers converging. In this section of the Ky Cung river, there are many rocks blocking the middle of the river, rocks heaving on the water surface, waves crashing against the rocks according to the river level, sometimes rising and falling, creating layers of white foamy waves, flowing all over the area. The river strip looks very spectacular. Legend has it that every time Vietnamese envoys went to China, they stopped at the stone wharf, prepared offerings and burned incense at Ky Cung temple, praying for peace and success on the trip. Today Ky Cung Bridge is built right next to the stone wharf, connecting the North and South banks of Ky Cung River, dividing Lang Son City into two areas, the North bank is the living, business and trading place of the City's people. , on the south bank is the area where the province's administrative agencies are concentrated.
