The family preserves 7 royal decrees in western Nghe An province.
(Baonghean.vn) - The Le Quoc family in Tuong Son commune (Anh Son district) is preserving 7 royal decrees issued by the Later Le and Tay Son dynasties to 5 generals, who are sons of the family with great contributions to the cause.
 |
| Seven royal decrees are currently being kept by Mr. Le Quoc Hoa in Hamlet 8, Tuong Son Commune. According to Mr. Hoa, these are "treasures" of his family lineage, so they must be cherished, preserved, and carefully protected. |
 |
| After hundreds of years, the red-lacquered wooden box used to store the imperial decree remains intact. |
 |
| Seven royal decrees of the Le Quoc family, currently in their possession, have been transcribed and translated by Mr. Bui Van Chat, a member of the Nghe An Han-Nom Club. According to the translation, the decrees were issued by the Le Hien Tong, Quang Trung, and Quang Toan kings to Le Quoc Co, Le Quoc Cau, Le Quoc Tran, Le Quoc Ly, and Le Quoc Dam, respectively. These generals made significant contributions to the cause of fighting invaders, defending the country, and establishing settlements. |
 |
 |
| Some of the imperial decrees still have clear content, dates, and patterns, and the paper is still durable and beautiful. |
 |
 |
| But there were also old and torn paper imperial decrees, with illegible writing and some letters missing. |
 |
| Mr. Le Quoc Hoa stated that the family council is planning to restore the royal decrees and hopes that descendants near and far, as well as those interested in cultural heritage, will provide guidance and assistance to ensure better preservation and safekeeping. |
