Receiving the Certificate of Recognition of Bach Ma Temple Cultural and Historical Relic

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of November 16, the People's Committee of Yen Thanh district and Lien Thanh commune solemnly held a ceremony to receive the Certificate of recognition of Bach Ma Temple as a Cultural and Historical Relic. Attending the ceremony were comrades: Nguyen The Ky - Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda Department; leaders of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Delegates and a large number of people attended the ceremony to receive the Certificate of Recognition of Bach Ma Temple Cultural and Historical Relic.

According to the history of Lien Thanh commune, Bach Ma temple has existed for nearly 1,000 years, built by Uy Minh Vuong Ly Nhat Quang himself to worship his father King Ly Cong Uan - Ly Thai To; to worship his mother Trinh Minh Hoang Hau Le Thi Phat Ngan; to worship his grandmother Queen Mother Duong Van Nga; his brother King Ly Thai Tong and the heroes and righteous men of the Ly dynasty.

Bach Ma Temple not only has historical and cultural value, since the 30s and 40s of the last century, the Temple was a meeting place for cadres and party members of Van Tu Party Cell, Yen Thanh Party Cell, a place to hide documents of the Party organization, a place to print, hide, and transfer secret documents and issues of the newspapers: Chop Chains, Untie the Yoke, and Leadership of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee, Central Region Party Committee; and an air defense guard post during the war against the destructive war of American imperialism.

Currently, the temple still preserves many valuable cultural artifacts, and is a place for the local people to entrust their spirituality. Over the course of history, the temple has now been degraded. In mid-2011, with the help of donors and contributions from the people, Bach Ma Temple was invested in upgrading and restoring. It is a sacred and respectful place to worship the father and mother of Uy Minh Vuong Ly Nhat Quang, with an altar to 125 martyrs of Lien Thanh commune who died in the two resistance wars against France and the US.

Ms. Hoang Thi Quynh Anh - Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism awarded the Certificate of Recognition of Bach Ma Temple Cultural and Historical Relic to Lien Thanh commune.

On June 13, 2013, the Provincial People's Committee issued a decision to recognize Bach Ma Temple as a provincial historical and cultural relic. This is a great honor for the locality, contributing to promoting the cultural identity of the homeland, meeting the spiritual and religious needs of the people, and being a place to educate the younger generation about patriotism and honoring the merits of ancestors.
