Nguyen Xi Temple Festival
(Baonghean.vn) - On the morning of February 21 (ie January 30 of the lunar calendar), the opening ceremony of Nguyen Xi Temple took place in Nghi Hop Commune, Nghi Loc District. Attending the opening ceremony were Mr. Tran Hong Chau - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, representatives of provincial departments and branches, leaders of Nghi Loc District, Nghi Hop Commune, descendants of the Nguyen Dinh family, along with a large number of people and tourists from all over the country.
Nguyen Xi Temple is the place to worship Grand Master Cuong Quoc Cong Nguyen Xi, a founding hero of the Later Le Dynasty, who had great contributions to the Binh Ngo campaign of King Le Thai To and also had great contributions in abolishing Nghi Dan, bringing Le Thanh Tong to the throne, opening the golden age of the Vietnamese feudal regime. Nguyen Xi was not only a general with great contributions to the national liberation movement but also had great contributions to the construction and development of the country in the early Le Dynasty. He was a great minister serving four kings: Le Thai To, Le Thai Tong, Le Nhan Tong, Le Thanh Tong, and was the regent for two kings: Le Thai Tong and Le Nhan Tong. For Nguyen Xi, supporting the King was supporting the people and the country.
