Receiving historical relics and tomb of Dr. Nguyen Huu Dao

(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of April 9, the Party Committee, government and people of Lang Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district received the Certificate of recognition as a provincial-level historical relic for the temple and tomb of Dr. Nguyen Huu Dao in a solemn and proud atmosphere.

The Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism awarded the Provincial Historical Relic Certificate for the temple and tomb of Doctor Nguyen Huu Dao to the locality and clan.

Dr. Nguyen Huu Dao was born in 1659, in a poor family in Thai Lang commune, Dong Thanh district in the past, now Lang Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district. Because his family was poor and could not afford to send him to school, but because he was bright and intelligent, he taught himself by spying on the village's literacy classes, and soon became a literacy teacher not only in the village but also in Quynh Luu. He once held the position of an official in Tho Xuong district, under Phung Thien citadel of Thang Long (including the entire Hoan Kiem district, Hai Ba Trung district and part of Dong Da district - Ha Hoi today). In 1691, Nguyen Huu Dao passed the Sy Vong exam, an intermediate exam between the Huong exam and the Hoi exam of the Le Trung Hung period, aiming to appoint assistant officials in the capital as well as in the towns, with a degree above bachelor's but below doctorate.

The local Party Committee, government and people brought the Provincial Historical Relic Certificate of the temple and tomb of Dr. Nguyen Huu Dao to the Nguyen Huu family temple.

In 1694, Nguyen Huu Dao suddenly passed away. His tomb and temple were established in Lang Thanh commune (Yen Thanh).
